April Snow, No Problem!
We keep saying, “No more winter weddings!” It’s spring … it’s May … the lusty month of May …!” But when Jenna Walker and Katie Thurmes sent us the photos from Joanne & Jake’s Colorado wedding in April … well, it was snowing. Regardless, we fell in love!
But rather than let that deter the so-so-so- happy couple … they chose to embrace the day!
Little Black Book member, Heather Dwight of Calluna Events in Boulder, Colorado coordinated Joanne & Jake’s wedding. She’s written a great piece on her blog about ‘a day in the life of’ a wedding planner based upon Jake & Joanne’s wedding! The point being … no matter how well organized you are, “stuff” happens. Think of a wedding coordinator as a fireman wearing many hats who puts out lots of little fires! Heather, you guys did a fantastic job!!
Jenna Walker Photographers … Jenna & Katie … are sisters, who each, in their own rights, are mega-talented photographers. They capture the emotions, the passions … and the FUN … that make this day, of all days, AMAZING!
from Jenna’s blog …
Joanne & Jake are the type of people you can’t help but admire. They are the creative types. Adventurers. Authentic, no holds barred. All with the sort of humility that many aspire to, but few attain. Joanne is a well-traveled, sharp-shooting architect. Jake – the Editor-in-Chief of Skiing Magazine: see also witty journalist guised as a ski bum. Put the two together, give them a map – and you’ve got a story worth listening to. Sit down. Grab a beer. They will make you laugh. Given this combination, it was with deep respect that the task of shooting their wedding would become. They know photography. They know clean lines and soft light and composition. But more than that, they understand what is real, what is true, what is them.
. . .
A family full of writers makes for a series of toasts worthy of publishing. Everyone had a go at the mic – even the littlest lady of the family put in her two cents. As a finale to a series of 4 or 5 speeches, Jake toasted Joanne in a laugh-till-you-cry speech.
The precious cupcake flags, table numbers and place cards pictured were made by LBB member, Bird Dog Press. Cupcakes by Tee and Cakes.

And so … there are only a handful of the “best days of your life”. Your wedding day ranks WAY up there. I think Joanne & Jake got it right!!
A HUGE THANKS to Jenna & Katie, … Colby Brown … Joanne & Jake … for sharing this day!

I like the string (for lack of a better word) attached to the bride's dress. It's such an odd detail to see these days, but I think it looks cool in the photographs.
P.S. and those cupcake flags are adorable!
fabulous as always Jenna Walker Photographers!
Fabulous wedding Heather and Jenna!
Where is her dress from? it's beautiful!!
Thanks so much for the post! We are always so amazed by the content you put forth for brides and it is an honor to be a part of the SMP community.
Keep up your brilliance!
I love the train and the wedding dress with the boots! How sweet and urban!
There is definitely something to be said about a snowy wedding. An early Spring event with a light dusting of snow can provide for amazing photography.
The dress looks very similar to one I saw at Calvin Klein recently. Sort of like the one Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy wore, one of my favorite wedding dresses of all time, definitely a turning point in wedding fashion!
Oooh wouldn't it be cool if SMP did style boards for famous wedding dresses? Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Bouvier,Carolyn Bessette...
I really like the bride's dress, it's simple and elegant. I especially dig it when she matched it with her boots... :)
What a fun couple!
Fun couple – you got that right, truly a pleasure to work with. Thanks for showcasing this creative couple!
