The Avant-Garde Groom

Whiskey. Cigars. Handsome Men. Edgy Style. 

We are constantly pushing our clients to be who they are and let their personalities shine on their wedding day. We truly believe that the union of two people should reflect who those two people are at the core. We seek a less traditional approach that usually leads to a very intimate, unique and personal experience for the couple and their wedding guests. 

We want to encourage grooms to take a more unique approach to their wedding day attire. Throw the traditional or lackadaisical attitude out the window guys. Let’s bring more style to your wedding day attire, because hey, it’s your day too. Wear a suit jacket that isn’t the exact same color as your slacks, wear a felt hat, un tuck your shirt, scrap wearing a tie, be bold by wearing bold colors, grow out your beard, smoke a cigar, drink some whiskey, show your tattoos and let’s celebrate your love for your beautiful bride.

Beth + Paul

Beth and Paul are one of those couples that is always smiling. Their love is so apparent and honest. Paul's whit and sarcasm will make anyone laugh so hard they cry, if you have seen his greeting cards you know what I mean. Paul took on the task of creating all of the paper goods and signage for the day, which gave it the most perfect personal touch. The signage at the wedding was done in his handwriting as were the 200 place cards with each person's name.

The food, holy smokes, the food. Jonathan Power is truly an incredible chef. He prepared oysters w/ caviar, slow roasted pork shoulder, a fingerling potato salad, along with all the accoutrements you could dream of. Let's also not forgot about the incredible salted carmel chocolate gluten free cupcakes made my Samm from Rootdown, I may have had 3, shhh don't tell.  

Beth's father married the couple and the ceremony was so intimate and romantic, there was not a dry eye in the place. You could really feel the love and support from their friends and family. Once the dancing started every single person hit the dance floor, which is usually pretty rare. The dance party was even extended an hour to keep the celebration going. Where's the "do-over" button so we can relive this amazing day?! 

Thank you to all the incredible vendors involved!

Rocky Mountain Family Shoot

I'm having one of those "how can it possibly be January" years where time seems to simply disappear. Our little #babymeyers sweetheart is now a year old and we've yet to have a professional picture taken since he was a newborn. Where do we find the time to get this done? Answer: multi-task. We are headed to Denver for work and decide on a whim to try one of our favorite wedding vendors, Jess Purple Photography. YES! She has time while we are in town. This is GREAT. Not only do we get to further our relationship professionally but we also get to take some bomb pictures personally. (If you remember the Christian + Cody engagement party, her husband was the genius behind those pictures).  Jess suggests we meet at Mount Falcon Park, which is the perfect spot to capture the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. The best part is that with our traveling and moving between Montana and Wyoming, it is the one place that always feels like home. 

Problem. Just SECONDS before our arrival our little man falls asleep. No amount of goofy faces, dancing, singing or joking can keep his eyes open. This is no good. We have to wake him up and our perfect shoot is going to be a big bummer. But wait, it is not so!!! Jess is amazing. We do a quick session while the lighting is right and we are on our way. We kept thinking poor Jess, there is no way we got a good picture, all of this for nothing.

Let me tell you how wrong we were. Jess got the pictures back to us almost instantly, provided us with WAY more quality shots than we thought was possible with a grumpy #babymeyers AND went over and above just by meeting us so last minute. 

Denver friends, you have to check her out. She and her husband Matt are the coolest cats around. We loved them and we know that you'll love them too.
