elcome to the journal for April O’Hare Photography! Here you’ll find all of my latest photographic outings with the couples, families, seniors and small businesses that I get to work with and make beautiful photographs for. You may also see a personal post here and there discussing my life or my travels with my teeny family of one husband and three cats! Sometimes I even write advice articles with tips to help make your photo experience better which you can check out under the “Educational” category.  

Take your time and look around! Type in the place where you’ll be getting married in the search box to see if I’ve photographed there before. At the bottom of the page I’ve highlighted some of my favorite sessions and weddings from the past. Grab a drink and have fun going down the photo rabbit hole!

Summer Wedding at the Greenbriar in Boulder Colorado

July 29, 2010

Remember Jack & Sarah?  They were the cute couple who did their engagement session up at their childhood summer camp (http://www.genevaglen.org/) which is where they worked when they were older as well.  They tied the knot this past Saturday in the foothills of Boulder at a beautiful restaurant called the Greenbriar Inn.

We actually started the day off on Walnut Street in Boulder at the Parlour Salon (http://www.theparlour.net/) where Sarah’s lovely hair and makeup artist fashioned a beautiful birdcage veil for her.  Sarah made the flowers with remnants from her gorgeous Watters dress which she found at Anna Be Bridal Boutique (http://anna-be.com/)  She also wore these adorable sandals with pretty blue flowers on them from (http://www.sundancecatalog.com/) and the guys all wore their own suits.

Afterward, the bridal party met up at the Boulder Marriott (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/denbo-boulder-marriott/) to finish up the wedding preparations and then headed out in a huge limo to the celebration.  The decor for the evening was sort of a vintage bicycle styled look right down to the favors which featured magnets with bike prints on them and a tire patch kit from Fat Tire Brewing Company.  With the help of her mom and her aunt, Sarah created the table arrangements herself! 

The lush floral arrangements & bouquets were provided by the European Flower Shop in Boulder, CO (http://europeanflowershop.com).  That awesome cake in keeping with the bicycle theme was made by her college roommate’s mother Sarah Gilchrist.  She is a very talented cake artist and I thought the cake tasted delicious!  

Congratulations to Sarah and Jack!  They are obviously very loved by all of their friends and family and I’m sure a bright and happy marriage with your friends and family by your side is in your future:)  Enjoy your honeymoon in Carmel!
