Aspen Wedding Photography T Lazy 7 Ranch starring Shelbi and Ben Bauer. Shelbi and Ben tied the knot at the foot of the Maroon Bells, at the T Lazy 7 Ranch tlazy7.com on a perfect Aspen, Colorado fall day. The T Lazy 7 is Aspen’s authentic Western Guest Ranch and is an Aspen favorite for weddings and parties year round and snowmobiling to the Maroon Bells in the winter. The Maroon Bells are the most photographed peaks in all of North America! (according to the T Lazy 7 radio ads) and no matter the season or the weather, the Bells are always awe-inspiring.
September 22, 2012 brought beautiful weather and the quintessential yellow Aspen leaves for all of the wedding guests to enjoy and savor. The day started with Shelbi getting ready at the newly remodeled Annabelle Inn annabelleinn.com on Main Street, Aspen while Ben helped with logistics at the wedding site.
It was an amazing day all the way around and the wedding lived up to everyone’s expectations. Ben’s family came in from Florida and Alabama and Shelbi was raised in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. In fact, her mom Cindy Kenney ([email protected]) of American Family Insurance in Basalt hired me to take Shelbi’s senior pictures back in 2002… Wow, how time flies! Cindy does the insurance for our HOA here in Holland Hills and the business insurance for my husband and myself! She is wonderful and attentive.
The big day was perfectly planned and coordinated by Cheryl Pitout who also did the amazing flowers – Aspen Orchids and Floral …([email protected])
The T Lazy 7 is such a relaxed Aspen venue that makes everyone including the bride feel right at home. Shelbi and Ben did their own wedding planning and looked to their friends to help them pull off a beautiful event all the way around. Smoke Modern BBQ – smokemodernbbq.com catered the event and the country western band – the Adam Ashley Band – drove to Aspen from the eastern slope of Colorado.
Engagement Photography – Shelbi and Ben
Engagement photography portraits are a fabulous way for me – “the wedding photographer” – to get to know my clients – “The Bride and Groom” and vice versa. It’s a relaxed way for all of us to do a test drive, so to speak, and create memorable photographs at the same time. We get to know each other and this in turn creates more love and peace and happiness on the wedding day. Eventhough I have known Shelbi since she was a senior in high school (almost 10 years ago), I so enjoyed photographing her and Ben as a couple and getting to know them as a couple at the same time…
Shelbi and Ben will be married at the T Lazy 7 Ranch in Aspen, Colorado on September 22nd which is also the Fall Equinox… this is definately the best time of the year to be married in Aspen with the glorious fall colors and the faint smell of winter snow that will soon be on its way!
We did their engagement portraits at the end of February at River Valley Ranch in Carbondale, Colorado. Interestingly enough, I also photographed Shelbi for her senior pictures back in the day. So fun to work with her again and I so appreciate the “repeat” business!
Here we go!

Aspen Wedding Photography Snowmass Club starring Megan and Luke on August 4, 2012 under a perfect Colorado blue sky day…. Little did I know what a fabulous bride and groom I had as they live in NYC and I did not meet them in person until the wedding rehearsal. Luke calls Megan a bubble of energy and that is an understatement. The fun and laughter was non-stop even during the ceremony which, by the way, was officiated by Reverend Jill Pidcock, a long time Aspen favorite.
Susan’s Flowers and Gifts in downtown Basalt – susansflowersbasalt.com created the floral bouquets and chandeliers and Becky Johnson of Studio B Beaute did the make up on our beautiful bride – studiobbeaute.com
Megan is escorted by her Dad Jim down the aisle of Alpine Meadow ceremony site at the beautiful and quintessential Colorado Snowmass Club snowmassclub.com
Our aussie groom Luke is a Ph.D. research scientist at the world renowned Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC and is well on this way to becoming a GQ model as he is donating his modeling services to a NYC cancer charity fundraising event in the coming months. The wedding photography was good practice as if he needs any! 🙂
Megan has a Ph.D. in immunology and pathology and works in finance. What a brilliant couple they make!
Reverend Jill Pidcock reverendjillpidcock.com cheered along with the wedding party when it was official!
Halcyon Productions of Basalt, Colorado halcyonproductions.com did the ceremony sound and Phat Daddy band out of Denver provided the R&B and covers that got the party started phatdaddy.biz
Windy Gillespie of Events by Windy.com did the wedding event coordination and ensured that everything was absolutely perfect and it was! Thanks again Windy!
