Colorado Civil Union Photographer – May 1st, 2013 from midnight-5:15am!

What can I say about May 1sts very first legal civil union night put on by One Colorado. To say it was magic, feels understated to how it felt to be there that night. Everyone just exuded love and comrodery . It was SO AWESOME to be able to be there for all of the 20 couples I photographed that night. They were so honest and open with each other (and me). If you’d like to check out the slideshow I put together from that night, check it out here… http://www.arosephotography.com/CivilUnions/.  Thank you all for allowing me to see your true colors and be a part of such a momumental night for you and the state of Colorado!!! It was a HUGE honor.

The very first civil union license!

Colorado wedding photographer – reliving the past

I decided the head into the abyss of my back-up hard drive the other day, and the result has been inspiring.  I can’t believe how many priceless moments I had passed over!  So, as a tribute to all of these special weddings and moments that missed much-needed attention, I’ve decided to spend a little time focusing on a few of them every day for the next week or two (or three).  So… that being said, here are a few moments from a couple second-shooting gigs with Susan Pacek and John Hudetz…
