Peter is a sports photographer, and we were connected to him by our mutual friend Chip Litherland, a photographer Ben and I have always looked up to. We love shooting other photographers’ weddings, and we were also excited to shoot in Castle Rock.
Emily and Peter’s colorful garden wedding took place in the backyard of Peter’s mother and stepfather’s gorgeous home. Emily had the biggest smile on her face while getting ready with her bridesmaids, and that smile only got bigger as the day went on. The ceremony was full of tears and love, and they were all too happy to finally get to their first kiss at the end.
The reception took place at Peter’s parents’ country club down the road from their house, where we got to photograph some of the best speech reactions we’ve ever seen. A photobooth, live band, and bourbon and cigars on the back deck rounded out this fun wedding day.
