No need for words in this post. This is a huge one and for those of you who are viewing this on anything slower than a high speed internet connection you might want to reconsider or give yourself plenty of time to let the photos load up. Otherwise I hope everyone enjoys part two of Dina and John’s Wedding, the Western Ceremony!

Dina & John: An Incredible Denver Wedding. Part One, The Cambodian Ceremony.

The 4th of July weekend has always been one of my favorites since I could remember. I’m sure that had something to do with growing up as a little boy who had the pleasure of watching things blow up in spectacular fashion. This weekend; however, was a different. Over a year ago I got the great news that a close friend of mine, Dina, was just engaged to her then boyfriend John. Not too long after that we had an engagement session which was posted on my blog here. The story of Dina and John continued this last weekend with a two day wedding as friends and family came from all over the country not only to celebrate the birth of an incredible country, but the birth of a new journey for two incredible people. Congratulations Dina and John, it was a honor to be able to cover your wedding and I wish you only the best with this new journey in your lives and I am thankful to be able to say that I am your friend. Enjoy!

Dina + John: A Denver Engagement

I met Dina sometime during my third year in college through my good friend Tean (who’s wedding I was also in and partly shot). Since then we’ve come a long ways as we’ve both served as Co-Captains for the Spirit of Cambodia Dragon Boat Race Team with whom we’ve won both Gold and Bronze medals with, served as Counselor Coordinators for the Cambodian Heritage Camp and volunteered to help with countless of Cambodian New Year celebrations in the Denver community. So needless to say, we’ve both become pretty good friends since we first met way back when in college and when I found out that she was engaged I couldn’t have been happier for her. I should also add that because of our long running friendship, I was proud to have been asked by Dina and John to cover their wedding and shoot their engagement portraits.

So as anyone in Denver knows, the weather in Denver can turn real funny in a hurry. The day of Dina and John’s engagement session was no exception as the weather really did a funky number on us as far as the temperature goes. The day started off pretty warm which led us all to believe that we were probably going to roast for the rest of the day only to be surprised when the temperatures turned mild as a nice high overcast cloud layer rolled in. That didn’t last long though as the winds picked up and the temperatures dropped from a warm 75 to a chilly 50 degrees when we arrived at our next location in the foothills of the Rockies. Fortunately for me though, the weather couldn’t stop Dina and John from toughing it out and finishing the last few shots we were trying to create.

But that’s enough from me, I’ll stop talking so that everyone else can enjoy the photos. Congratulations guys and I can’t wait to cover your wedding next year. Enjoy!
