Stacy & Mike’s Denver Wedding: Second Shooting for Preston Utley

How many people can say they’ve met “Herby the Love Judge”?

I had such a blast shooting for Preston last time around that when he asked me if I would shoot with him again, I couldn’t say “no.” Preston’s award-winning WPJA photography sets a high bar, and I’m always thrilled to work with someone whose photo-journalistic style is consistently clean, candid and spontaneous.

Mike and Stacy were married at the Hudson Gardens just outside of Denver. The Hudson Gardens feels like a cross between a botanic garden and a wild animal park. Botanic garden because there are countless species of plants and trees everywhere you look with little sign-posts that identify them. Wild animal park because there were numerous flocks of geese roaming freely through groves of trees and reed forests. And ponds with leery-eyed frogs. Add to that a very active imagination and my secret desire to meet a Japanese”Racoon Dog“, and I felt like I was on a safari. I’m a dork. I know.

An intimate ceremony presided over by “Herby the Love Judge” was followed by an amazing Italian feast at Maggiano’s. Then the dancing started. And that’s when the animals came out once more.

Stacy and Mike, “Congratulations!”

Preston, thank you so much for the opportunity to shoot with you again!
