Mary Grabowski and Nathan were married at Della Terra Mountain Chateau in Estes Park, Colorado.
This was the first wedding I’ve photographed at Della Terra Mountain Chateau. I’d heard about their reputation for great service and I wasn’t disappointed by this family owned and operated venue just outside the north entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park.
It was a pleasure working with Pam and her staff who all go out of their way to give everyone a first class experience.
Congratulations to Mary and Nathan!
Cheers, Kent
I met Jordan and Andy while they were getting dressed for their wedding in the Presidential Suite at The Stanley Hotel followed by a private reveal in the gazebo. Both Andy and Jordan were emotional all day in a very heartfelt way.
Congratulations, Kent
Jen and John were married at The Stanley Hotel July 30, 2011.
I’d never met Jen and John until moments before they had a private reveal in the gazebo several hours before their wedding. They wanted to have time to drive up into Rocky Mountain National as they are both huge hikers and back packers and in fact they named each table at their reception in The MacGregor Ballroom after different National Parks where they’ve hiked.
One of the defining sequences of moments of the day started with a tap on my shoulder while I was kneeling in photograph flower girl Mahayl, niece of the groom. The ushers were rolling out a runner. I moved over and they continued as Mahayl walked up tossing flower petals and stepped though the runner pull cord without missing a beat and then join her mother where she paused to wiped her brow as Jen and her father were coming down the front steps. She was cool, comfortable and calm just like Jen and John.
Jen’s father Rev. David Stewart performed the ceremony which included everyone singing several hymns. He did a great job of moving around so he could sing with the family and friends who were seated in front of the historic hotel, then turn around and speak directly to the couple. It really was a beautifully orchestrated and personal ceremony.
Cheers, Kent

Chris and Katie both grew up in Denver but met in LA where they both live now. They are getting married Sept 3, 2011 at Wild Basin Lodge in Estes Park. My friend Dave Russel will be photographing their wedding. For their engagement/lifestyle session they chose the Platte River area starting at REI.
Cheers, Kent
