Gina and Brad had a smaller wedding that I absolutely loved. I was talking to Alicia the other day about what really makes a wedding click for me, and I think it’s when the celebration is a great reflection of the couple’s personality — and Gina and Brad did just that. They are food buffs, so their wedding was a ceremony, a small cocktail hour, and then the best meal EVER. And that was it! So simple, so elegant, so awesome.

As Gina was getting ready, we started talking about what her and Brad do on vacations, and somehow the conversation turned into what they take pictures of on vacations: lots of signs. Pretty cool. So I decided that we needed to make some signs and take some goofy portraits with them. So her dad chopped up a beer box and made some classy Bride and Groom signs, which we whipped out during a short couples portrait session on the Arrowhead Golf Course in Beaver Creek. It was hilarious! We even managed to pull off a great American Gothic replica.

I love this champagne glass shot, but I have to admit I totally stole it from one of the best wedding photographers around, Ben Chrisman. His version is a lot better. And a lot more original. But what a great idea!

That crazy shot under the veil was Gina’s mom sewing it all together. I haven’t seen the world from behind a veil before. Crazy!
