![]() ![]() It was starting to snow and freezing cold, but these two were total troopers for it! James and Sherika’s Wedgewood Black Forest WeddingĪ big thanks to the incredible vendor team who made James and Sherika’s Wedgewood Black Forest wedding so perfect: Luckily, the next morning we were able to meet up at Garden of the Gods before my flight home. Eek! And since James and Sherika opted to not do a first look, we did not have time to finish their bride and groom portraits. We actually ended up running out of light super quick. So I flew out to Colorado, even during this crazy pandemic, and had the most amazing time. When I got down to ask Rika started crying and I dropped the ring but we recovered and I was able to get out the question. I had to go last so I could go ahead and give my little speech before I popped the question. When the day came, we planned out a circle before dinner at which time everyone went around saying something they were thankful for. I messaged Rika’s aunt to let her know about my plan. While we were on vacation, I hid the ring inside of a sweater I had packed so every time Sherika went to grab clothes I had to hold my breath and hope she didn’t pick up the wrong clothes. I went ahead and had a ring designed because I couldn’t find anything I liked. We started planning the trip and I worked to find an engagement ring. I wanted as much of her family around as possible when I popped the question. I knew how important family was to Rika so I decided that would be the time that I proposed. We decided to take an extended vacation for Thanksgiving last year. Then, last year, James decided it was the right time to pop the question in his own words … It was an easy friendship at first, and soon developed into romance because they truly saw and loved each other for who they are. James and Sherika met about 4 years ago, when they worked together. This entire family means a lot to me, and I am beyond honored that the family asked me to photograph James’s wedding with Sherika at the Wedgewood Black Forest just a couple of weeks ago. In fact, James’s mom Heidi is the talented eye behind the lens at Dunn 4 You Photography, and I’ve mentored her for years for photography and business. I’ve known James for years – I did his senior portraits, his dad’s first military homecoming, and his family’s photos since 2012. I am so proud of all the amazing moments and memories I’ve been part of and documented, and I really could not have picked a more special wedding to finish out my Colorado wedding photography career. It’s honestly kind of surreal, and not at all sad. Randy and I are going back next year for a videography gig, but this was the last wedding I’ll ever photograph in Colorado. This place is better than ANY! They went above and beyond for our big day! I strongly recommend!īeautiful Wedding Locale.I can’t believe I just photographed my final Colorado wedding in my career. From my perspective as an attendee, it was a great experience. The food was great and I loved the atmosphere. ![]() Thank You Pinery!Īre you kidding me? $100 per person for a wedding reception in Colorado Springs? I can think of a lot better ways to spend the money like a great honeymoon or just not starting out in debt. I heard from numerous guest that it was one of the best weddings they had ever been a part of. The facility was beautiful and the food was great. They made my day entirely stress free! Food is great! Building is beautiful! Staff is FANTASTIC! I would definitely recommend them to anybody! PERFECT place to have a wedding! Great price for what you get! It is so convenient to have the reception and the ceremony in the same place. Wonderful service!!! I think the gentleman helping us out the most was Michael I think. During toast time they even poured her a glass with sparkling apple cider. They were right there with a booster chair and food for her. What really set this place apart for us was how attentive they were to our year and a half old daughter. The venue was beautiful and the food was great. I strongly recommend this place to ANY bride. The flowers were beautiful, the dj was fantastic, and EVERYONE complimented the incredible food and gorgeous cake.all done at an exceedingly doable price. The all-inclusive package saved me from major headaches.everything that we needed was through the pinery so all we had to find was a photographer. Ive known so many brides who were stressed about their wedding, but with the team, my wedding was a breeze to plan and it went off without a hitch. ![]()
