Steve & Sue Ogbrun (Denver, CO Photographer)

After 10 years of being married, Steve & Sue renewed their vows on June 1st. It was such a sweet ceremony with their adorable kids, a few close friends and family. It was very intimate and beautiful for a little gathering. I do have to admit I was worried about the awful lighting in the church mixed with an overcast day making for no natural light, but I was thankful the Lord really did bless it! I am extremely happy with how they turned out. Most importantly I am thankful the Ogburn's were more than delighted with them.

By the way, Lindsay and Tyler are the most adorable kids I've ever met.

The neatest idea for unity: Pouring different color sand into a vase! I loved it, and so did Lindsay; she did not want to stop pouring sand! haha

Camping

This weekend my husband and I decided to go on our first camping trip! It was such a blast, and adventure for sure...On top of getting no sleep we completely missed the "no campfire" signs and got a lovely fine. :/ But we didn't let it ruin our fun. We got to soak in the hot springs in the morning and headed home a little early. Here are just a few photos. :)

The party! I do have to say the 16 passager van was totally unexpected but came to be such a great backdrop for photos

The lovely couple!
I thought it was awesome that I helped to make their wedding day slightly unexpected. As Quinn said "I never thought I'd be swinging on my wedding day" ...work with me and you'll find yourself doing silly but wonderful things!
