Denver Wedding Photographer – Mark Hayes bio picture
  • Mark Hayes Photography – Denver Wedding Photographer

    Sometimes a photograph captures reality.
    Sometimes a photograph captures the imagination.
    Ultimately, a photograph simply captures a moment in time.
    And then, it lives forever…………..

    This simple passage in many ways sums up how I feel about every wedding I photograph.
    It’s about the moments, the emotions, and capturing those moments with a unique combination of quality, style and artistry so that these moments last forever and can be shared with future generations.

Mark and Kelle’s Brown Palace & Dunafon Castle Wedding

In so many ways Mark and Kelle’s wedding sums up perfectly one of my favorite aspects of being a Colorado wedding photographer, the amazing people and wonderful families that it brings me in contact with.   It doesn’t get any better on all count that Mark and Kelle and their families.

To top it off how often does a photographer get to work in both the Brown Palace and Dunafon Castle in the same day.   The Brown Palace which we featured in Mark and Kelle’s engagement photographs was the perfect getting ready place for the wedding party and family as was shown in last weeks post.   Then moving up into the foothills for the wedding and reception at Dunafon Castle just was icing one the cake.

I couldn’t start a section on all the amazing vendors who helped make this event possible without mentioning my friend and regular second shooter Dain of Photography by Dain.

Hair and Makeup

Both the hair and makeup for this wedding where about as perfect as you could get.   The hair perfectly suited the venue and style of the wedding.

Friday Favorites – Lookout Mountain Engagement Photography

Keeping with the theme running the last few days of engagement sessions I thought I’d pull one from last year that was shot up on Lookout Mountain.   I love it when I can just get a couple to interact with each other and forget about me and the camera for a minute.

Sneak Peek – Mark and Kelle – Getting Ready at The Brown Palace

Getting Ready at the Brown Palace

Mark and Kelle did two of my favorite things a couple can do.
1: They commissioned me for the entire day so they’d have coverage from getting ready to the last dance (about 14 hours in their case). This is wonderful to be able to document and tell the story of the entire day and not just the 8 hours around the ceremony.
2: They did a first look where they were getting ready before heading to the ceremony site.

Of course getting ready at The Brown Palace didn’t hurt either.   What a magnificent place to play with a young couple in love on their wedding day.

Normally my sneak peeks are just a shot or two of the whole day, not a dozen from just the getting ready moments, but this day was worth the exception.

Helping out at the Brown Palace was my regular assistant and second shoot Dain of Photography by Dain.   Also on hand was Cynthia,Denver Makeup Guru doing the makeup for the bridal party and Keri of Keri Winters Bridal handled the amazing hair styles for all the ladies.
