Sam and Maura's Durango Wedding

I had a feeling that doing photography for this Durango, Colorado wedding was going to be an absolute blast and it certainly lived up to my expectations!  I am honored to have been Sam and Maura's photographer and it is going to be tough to photograph a more enjoyable Southwest wedding!  We decided to get some couples photos before the wedding and they wanted to stay in town so we made a quick pre-wedding stop at the river at one of my favorite spots.

Afterwards it was on to the Smiley Building where we took advantage of some shade because the weather was hot!

Sam and Maura decided to book a Durango favorite, the Smiley Building, for their festivities.  This was the first time that I've done photos at this location and it went smoother than I had anticipated.

The building has an excellent lawn in the back situated above downtown that is great for views and for all of the typical wedding accouterments including a bar, ceremony spot, reception and dining tent, and yard games.  There is always a nice shady wall to be found which is fantastic when the midday lighting gets too intense!  The interior of the building is also interesting and provides lots of good photography opportunities.
The ceremony spot faces Northwest Durango which provided a great backdrop and good afternoon lighting.
The reception was a wild rumpus as I assumed that it would be knowing these two.
I highly recommend this venue.  It is a fantastic location centrally located in downtown Durango and a perfect spot for any outdoor event or wedding.  For more information about me, Durango, or the Smiley Building please refer to the following links:

What My Clients Are Saying:

​"My husband and I have known Andy for years and when we got married he was our first choice for photographers for so many reasons. We wanted someone who would capture our big day without it feeling intrusive, or forced, he was so fun and easy going and put us and our guests/wedding party at ease. His natural ability to capture and highlight landscapes made for pictures that showcase why we choose to get married in the mountains. He paid close attention to details, and got candid shots we absolutely love. Additionally he was so organized and got every posed shot we had asked him for, without us having to worry or keep track. He got the pictures back to us quickly and has been so fun and professional to work with. I highly recommend Andy for any occasion." -Nicole Patrick
