Black Canyon Inn, Estes Park, Colorado - Double Wedding
The wedding that took place on June 12, 2009 was remarkable in so many ways. First of all, it was a double wedding which I had never had the pleasure of photographing; Daian and her sister Erika were getting married to Todd and Jorge in the same ceremony. Second of all, Daian and Erika are from Venezuela, and their family traveled to Colorado for their wedding. It was a small and intimate ceremony, but it was a lot of fun for me to photograph. The brides and grooms were simply wonderful to work with, and their family from Venezuela was so welcoming and joyous that I felt right at home. It was a new experience, attempting to capture the moments for both brides and grooms, but one that I enjoyed.
Here is the father of the brides with his soon-to-be sons-in-laws, Todd and Jorge.

And the brides and sisters, Daian and Erika. They both always had a smile on their face.

The small ceremony was held at Black Canyon Inn in Estes Park, Colorado. It is a beautiful property that was formerly a guest ranch and now holds several lodge buildings spread out throughout the fourteen acres. It is surrounded by Rocky Mountain National Park as well as Roosevelt Forest, and so the backdrop for the wedding was breathtaking.




As I mentioned, Daian and Erika's family from Venezuela were great fun to work with, and their brothers were no exception!

I was able to take the brides and grooms away for some intimate moments. I spent some time photographing each couple after seeing them all together, and the scenery for such photographs couldn't have been any better.






I really had a great time working with Daian and Todd, Erika and Jorge and their family. They were generous and fun people, and I wish both couples all the best in their new lives as husband and wife!
