Mary & Jayland convinced their Kansas City family & friends to journey out to Estes for destination Wedding (I’m sure it wasn’t that hard, actually). Black Canyon Inn hosted the ceremony under their new open-air platform, which is so well done. Perferct size, access, and look at that view!
My daughter Helen got some great additional ceremony shots wielding the famed Canon 135L telephoto. I was busy trying out Sigma’s acclaimed 50/1.4 and 85/1.4 primes seeing if they deserved a spot in ‘the bag’. It’s funny, lenses are so personal to a photographer. These chunky pieces of glass that accompany on all your journeys. Like people none are perfect, they all have their own little personality defects. So, considering a new lens is a bit like dating … a few low risk get-to-know-you excursions before marriage. “Hey what are you doing this weekend? Want to go with me to a wedding?”
Both Mary & Jayland’s families offered up some great toasts (um, roasts). Mary’s dad had everyone teary-eyed and her sisters presented Jayland with a guidebook “Idiot’s Guide To Mary” in case he got lost on his way.
I’m convinced M+J thought the high altitude was going to make their guests famished, as the food just kept coming. Prime rib at dinner, then cake & ice cream, and finally a late night food bar with Sliders, Chicken Strips and Brownies. Breath deep, maintain control. MC Johnny Cruz was convinced it was best ice cream ever.
There’s still some cake left over. Grab a slice and see the complete wedding gallery, HERE.
Thanks so much for having us along on your day and congratulations! Having a Black Canyon Inn Wedding? We’d love to document it.
