One of the first things we noticed about Brenda and Jarrod was that Brenda was going to make an absolutely gorgeous bride! As for Jarrod, he’s certainly no toad, hehe, and I knew right away he would hold a special place in Sean’s heart being a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO). As many of you know Sean is a Marine Corps Veteran and loves all things freedom and USA. Loyal officers like Jarrod help us to maintain the principles that this country was founded upon, which is one of the reasons we like to offer a 10% discount on our services for all active duty military and law enforcement officers as a measure of thanks for all they do.

But enough USA butt-kissing for now; let’s get back to our lovely couple! Brenda and Jarrod were happily married at the Stonebrook Manor in Thornton, CO, this past Friday. As they prepared for their fateful march down the aisle, I captured some shots of the girls getting while Sean covered the boys.

The ceremony was set in front of an arbor, with the sun hanging low in the sky directly behind it. It was an interesting lighting situation, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much sunflare! Luckily we were able to get close enough for a nice mix of photos with/without the sunflare look.

We knocked out the family formals as quickly as possible, but still were left with only minimal time for wedding party and bride and groom photos. Thankfully we had a very cooperative and fun wedding party to work with, and you just could not take a bad picture of Brenda and Jarrod!

The reception kicked off with speeches and dining, and the guests were lively enough for just a few fun dance shots before it was time for us to head home.

To Brenda and Jarrod: It was a pleasure working with you both! It was easy to tell from your speeches and love letters you shared just how much you truly care for one another, and it’s a couple’s love that truly makes ANY wedding day special. We were so glad to be a part of yours, and this last mention goes out to both  my 2012 brides from the state… Kansas rocks!
