When Jamie and Taylor planned their wedding in Sept of this year, in Vail Colorado… they had intentions. The timing with the aspen trees was breathtaking. The rolling mountains were all shades of fall colors, and get this, the day we left from Vail back to Denver, it SNOWED. WITH the Aspen trees of yellows and oranges. Some of the images turned out like a canvas painting.. (see more on my facebook page: www.Facebook.com/JanaMariePhotography)

The reason I wanted to post this family BBQ from the Vail wedding I got to shoot of my super awesome friend Jamie’s wedding.. is because they had 3 different continents, and I think it was over 30 states in the US, of people that attended their wedding. Getting together for them, was obviously a big deal. My favorite part, is that Jamie (the bride), her foreign exchange student brother from high school and his fiancé from Holland were there, AND Jamie’s mom ALSO had her foreign exchange student brother from when SHE was in high school, attend with his wife as well all the way from Australia. What a fun atmosphere. Family and friends all together in one place.

So not only did we get to shoot the wedding, but I came along to the BBQ and the dinner rehearsal to grab some images of everyone as we all had a giant reunion. What a fun week!
