Mike and Meredith's Wedding
A couple of weeks ago, Matt and I headed up
to Tahara Lodge in Estes Park to photograph Meredith and Mike's wedding. It was
amazing. They celebrated their marriage with a traditional Native American
ceremony - and it was so amazing to be a part of the day. Because it isn't
every day that we get to photograph a ceremony like this, I thought I'd share a
few images from the ceremony. Michelle at An Occasion to Remember did an
absolutely amazing job planning this event!
All of the guests are a part of a professional to the sacred and blessed ceremony site.
A fire is burning throughout the course of the ceremony.
Here is Mike with the peace pipe. The peace pipe is the most sacred part of the ceremony - Meredith and Mike's celebrant - Charlie - explained to us that it was like a "portable alter" and must always be honored. It was so beautiful to see a tradition of many generations past. Here is Mike with the peace pipe.
Meredith and Mike's family and friends formed two circles around them holding hands and never to be broken during the ceremony - except when holding the peace pipe. The first circle was of all of the guests...the inner circle surrounding Meredith and Mike was made of their wedding party and parents - and of course, their dog!
The ceremony kiss.
Meredith and Mike - what an amazing day! Thank you for being such an amazing couple to work with! Matt and I are so grateful to have been a part of something so special.
Congrats!!
