Colorado Wedding Photos at Denver Museum of Nature and Science

May 28, 2014

Last week I photographed a beautiful spring wedding at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Raquel and Matthew really did a lovely job incorporating their love of chemistry into the details of their wedding. They used clear beakers as vases and had cool little chemistry sets where you could build a model molecule (wedding appropriate molecules like lipids and alcohol of course) during the cocktail hour. I think my favorite way that they used chemistry on their wedding day was during the ceremony on the Anschutz Family Sky Terrace. They each poured their own clear liquid into a beaker and after a few seconds it turned dark red. It was a really unique twist on the more traditional unity ceremonies and something that I’ve never seen before. And I have to say that chemistry was the perfect “theme” for their wedding because these two have an incredible amount of it. It’s plain to see in their photos!

The Denver Museum of Nature and Science has an outstanding view of downtown Denver with the mountains just behind the skyline. You can see the famous cash register building, the gold domed capital and of course the pretty yellow boathouse in City Park. It probably has the best view of the Denver skyline in the whole city. City Park is gorgeous in the springtime too with pretty flowering plants and trees which we definitely made good use of. We were also allowed to wander around the museum and get unique shots with the dinosaur fossils and the minerals and gems section too.

Raquel’s maid of honor created these beautiful wood etchings as favors. They are so cute!

This one cracks me up. There was a spider on Matthew. I totally would have reacted similarly.

Talk about chemistry, right? My favorite:)
