OK, so first things first. This is not a normal blog post of a wedding, because Amy and Joe’s wedding was not a normal wedding! First of all, Joe is a good friend of mine and the little brother of one of my best friends Ed whom I grew up with back in Maryland. When Kristy and I were driving across the country to San Diego we stopped into Denver to visit with Ed and Joe. It was then that I met Amy and found out that she and Joe were recently engaged. I was super excited for them, and when they set their date on a day in July that I wasn’t already booked, I was amped that I would be able to attend. Then, they asked me to document the wedding … awesome! “Oh, we’re having it at a resort in Breckenridge.” And it keeps getting awesomer! Sprechen Sie crab feast!?
I spent the whole week before their wedding with Ed and got acclimated to the altitude in Denver. However, Breckenridge is another mile higher than Denver and the first night we were there we were all taking hits of oxygen to keep the room from spinning! That day Amy and Joe held their rehearsal, and afterwards, had a crab feast and barbecue Filipino style complete with a whole roasted pig. Joe’s parents flew Maryland blue crabs in with them, already steamed and introduced non-Marylanders to real blue crabs … yum! I have for a long time wanted to document a wedding that had a crab feast for the reception, and while this was just the rehearsal it was still a ton of fun to photograph.
Check out a few of the images from the rehearsal and check back in tomorrow for another post of images from Joe and Amy’s wedding!
