California Wedding Photographer, Photography Worldwide – Victor Sizemore’s Blog

A few weeks ago I flew to Denver to photograph a wedding two hours east in Beaver Creek, Colorado. It’s some of the most amazing scenery! Along the drive I passed bison grazing pastures and Buffalo Bill’s grave as massive snow capped mountains tower in the distance. It was a pleasure for me to photograph Joann and Aaron’s very intimate wedding. There were only six people including me. The couple met in Dental school at the University of Louisville and have been together for nine years.

Joann grew up in Manchester and was a senior in high school when I was a freshman. She was between my sisters and I in school. It was my first time meeting Aaron and he’s a great dude despite being a Razorback. We almost have him converted to being a Wildcat fan! We were like old pals after our short two day adventure. We drank sake, shot pool, and played golf in the rain.

We were totally blessed with the weather… It had stormed and rained both days. Then just before the ceremony it cleared and ended up being a gorgeous afternoon which provided excellent light and dramatic scenery for the photographs. The ceremony was held on a small bridge over a mountain stream. No one heard the vows for the rushing water except the couple. They actually preferred it that way making them less nervous in front of the large crowd of four witnessing the act. After the photos were finished we sat down to a very nice dinner at the Osprey Lodge where everyone was staying. The chef prepared an awesome five course meal ending with his spin on Tres Leches which was to die for!

Check out some of my favorite photos, enjoy!
