As a Littleton wedding photographer, I always have my fingers crossed that my couples have rain-free days! However, Mother Nature dealt Andrea and Cory quite a different hand on their wedding day at The Barn at Raccoon Creek in Littleton this past August. Although the skies were gray, their spirits certainly were not.

I started the day by photographing Andrea getting into her stunning dress. She was assisted by her mom and then had an emotional first look with her bridesmaids. I love the setup at the Barn at Raccoon Creek! The barn doors make for a fantastic reveal spot. And although it wasn’t planned, Andrea’s dad walked in at that point and they shared an emotional first look before heading down the aisle.

The pitter patter of the rain only got louder on the roof of the bridal suite as time went on. But I don’t think any amount of rain was going to make Andrea and Cory move their ceremony inside. Guests peeked from under umbrellas as Andrea and her Dad walked down the aisle towards Cory. Although I was dry with an umbrella tucked under my arm and over my gear, I don’t think there was a dry eye in the crowd.

Cory and Andrea chose to create a Cord of Three Strands together and completed their ceremony with an enthusiastic “I do” from each of them. They laughed together as they walked out of their ceremony as husband and wife and the party just continued from there.

Photos at the Barn at Raccoon Creek are a treat! Just as the sun sets we take a golf cart out to the 17th hole for portraits. Thirty seconds of dry portraits for these two and the clouds parted again. As you can imagine, Cory and Andrea just kept smiling!

Cory and Andrea opened up the floor for toasts, and everyone had such nice things to say about these two. My camera was going in all directions capturing all the laughter and tears from guests.

Cheers to the new Mr. and Mrs. Burton! It was a pleasure capturing your day. I wish you nothing but the best!
