Arrowhead Golf Course Wedding: a day to remember

August 26, 2020 From the Hip Photo

We were lucky enough to photograph this absolutely stunning Arrowhead Golf Course wedding. It was such a nice day for Hanna and Justin to start their lifetime of love together, and we're so happy we got to help them remember this moment forever! Saying, "I do!" was the most anticipated part of the wedding, especially since Hanna knew she wanted to marry Justin the night that she met him. Love is in the air Nestled in the foothills of Colorado's majestic Rocky Mountains in Littleton, Arrowhead Golf Club is where Hanna and Justin tied the knot. Located 30 miles south of Denver sits majestic red rocks bulging out of the ground, making it the perfect location for this beautiful couple! From the beginning, they wanted 3 specific things from their wedding that Arrowhead Golf Club provided for them! These included a beautiful outdoor setting, good food, and good music. Choosing Arrowhead Golf Course as their venue took care of two of those things. They then spent months curating the music they wanted during each part of their wedding. At the end of the day, a wedding is about celebrating not only the couple coming together but two families joining together

Photo Tips | Is a Wedding Photo Booth Right for You?

March 26, 2019 From the Hip Photo

Here at From the Hip Photo, we are firm believers in the photo booth! While some people might assume that photo booths are only for informal events, we think they can bring entertainment to any celebration. In fact, we think couples should consider a wedding photo booth when planning their big day. In the age of the selfie, we are always taking amusing photos of ourselves and loved ones almost every day. Weddings are no exception! Photo booths help make capturing those special moments even more fun! Even celebrities like Kim and Kanye are on the wedding photo booth train. So Much Time For Activities! There's a lot that happens at a wedding. Your guests are going to be busy participating in dances, meals, and toasts. Why not ensure that one of these wedding activities gives them something to take home at the end of the night? Even the most enthusiastic wedding guest needs a break from dancing the “Cha Cha Slide” at some point. Memories Galore! Wedding photo booths are enjoyable for all ages. They allow everyone, from an adorable 3-year-old child to your grandma (we're amazed she's awake after 9 p.m.), to get together and join the fun. A wedding photo booth

February 4, 2019 From the Hip Photo

Tips to Feel and Look Your Best on a Day You Will Always Remember The months of planning leading up to a wedding can be stressful, and then the entire day is over in a flash. However, there is plenty that you can do in the time leading up to your wedding that can have you feeling your best. Follow these quick and easy steps in order to alleviate some of the nerves and feel your best! Boost your immune system In order to avoid saying “I do” with the sniffles, take proactive steps in the weeks and months leading up to your wedding in order to boost your immune system.

Weekend at Beano’s | Steph & Brian

November 23, 2018 From the Hip Photo1 comment

We're in the midst of a particularly cold winter here in Denver. While the ice and snow make getting to work a little less fun, one upside of the chilly weather is the early opening of many of Colorado's ski resorts. Stephanie and Brian managed to beat both the cold and the crowds at their Beaver Creek Resort wedding late this fall. The crisp fall air was perfect for taking photos outdoors, and it certainly helped that all the aspens had begun changing colors! A Mountain of Activities Beaver Creek Resort is a major ski resort owned by Vail Resorts. The company owns several other ski resorts in the state. Although winter sports are the resort's biggest draw for visitors, the resort hosts activities all year long. Maybe you want to spend the day with a private snowboarding instructor. Or maybe a day at the spa is more your style. Whatever your interests are, Beaver Creek has it all. The resort even has its own village, complete with dining and shopping options. One of these fine dining options is Beano's Cabin, which Stephanie and Brian chose as the venue for their Beaver Creek Resort wedding. Beano's

Chairlift to Heaven | Mikal & Andrew

October 29, 2018 From the Hip Photo

We might be a little biased, but we believe it's hard to beat Colorado in the summertime. We get low humidity, clear skies, and some of the most incredible views around. These qualities all make Colorado a dream wedding destination. And if you're going to get married in Colorado, why not go all out? That's exactly what Mikal and Andrew did in this mountaintop wedding shoot in Keystone! An Uplifting Experience Most people associate chairlifts with ski trips, not weddings. But Mikal and Andrew aren't like most people, and this isn't like most weddings! Besides, hiking in heels on your special day can be a real drag. The fun-loving couple decided to reach their mountaintop wedding shoot in style. If you ask us, it was worth it. Look at that view! Ages of Affection Having loved ones around is always nice, particularly on a day as important as your wedding. Mikal and Andrew were lucky enough to have generations of family both young and old in attendance to celebrate their devotion to each other. Of course, they also had plenty of friends by their sides as well! We doubt this young flower girl will forget this one-of-a-kind experience anytime soon! An
