The City Park Wedding, Part 1 - Mariarosa & Paul 5.23.10 (Denver Colorado wedding photographer)

Getting married this year in City Park? Email Chris to see if I'm available to photograph your wedding! City Park is a pretty amazing place for photos.

I'm noticing a trend: someone from the wedding party of my last bride and groom tends to be my next client. I met Mariarosa and Paul at Mario & Jenni's wedding back in December, and I was super-excited when they mentioned their wedding plans at City Park this summer.

It was great to see everyone again at this amazing outdoor wedding in Denver's City Park. But first! The girls started their day at File-N-Style on Colfax for some beauty prep::

Needlessly to say, I was THE ONLY BOY there, and I didn't really understand all the girly goings-on, but I was pleasantly distracted by the décor and colors of this salon::

At the City Park pavilions, the families assembled the reception so efficiently. They were like professionals! Really impressive in the DIY tradition.

My second-shooter for the day was Stephanie and I totally scored having her help me out. The next couple are hers::

Finishing touches before portraits::


Here's a first: the bride had THREE flower girls. They assisted her the whole day like one big flower-girl entourage. It was hilariously cute to watch them follow her.

Meet Paul! The handsome groom::

Another one by Steph. One last moment, it's really sinking in! I'm about to be married...
