COUTURE Colorado | Interview with Laura Dombrowski

Couture Colorado has been a fantastic partner and supporter of StudioWed Denver since we first opened in February 2010.   We love to share more about this great Colorado wedding inspiration and lifestyle blog with our readers today.

 Who is Laura Dombrowski?

I am a small town girl from the Midwest.  I moved to Denver in 1997 to attend the University of Denver. There, I earned a business degree with a double major in finance and statistics. I also took most of my elective classes in photography at DU.  Once I graduated in 2001, I couldn’t picture myself doing anything but photography.

In my twenties, I poured my heart into photography.  I loved shooting everything, but weddings somehow stuck with me through the years. I loved the fashion, the decor, the style and all the love and emotions happening in one day.  In the last ten years, I have been a bridesmaid 9 times, photographed over 100 weddings, and was finally a bride myself in October of 2009. I have seen it all from the backyard, do- it- yourself celebrations to the classic black-tie weddings. I have fallen completely and madly in love with the art of weddings.

Now in my early thirties, I needed a new challenge in my life. COUTUREcolorado WEDDING was born on February 14, 2010.  Due to the success of WEDDING, COUTUREcolorado is growing and officially launched a sister site on August 1st, 2011:  LIFE & STYLE.

What is COUTUREcolorado WEDDING?

It is a one-of-a-kind online magazine/blog and exclusive resource guide.

I thought there were a lot of  incredible weddings happening right here in Colorado going unnoticed.  I wanted to shine some light on the these weddings and on the wedding professionals that help create these incredible events.

COUTUREcolorado’s goal is to not only inspire but also to guide the Colorado bride through her wedding planning.

There are daily posts that will continue to inspire you as you plan your Colorado wedding.  From real weddings to cool new products and from the latest fashion trends to trending wedding color schemes, you will find COUTUREcolorado WEDDING an invaluable resource in planning your wedding.

THE LIST is a resource guide comprised of the most talented and passionate local wedding professionals.  They have been interviewed and hand picked.  Think of COUTUREcolorado as that small boutique shop you love to go to when you’re shopping for something extra special.

What is COUTUREcolorado LIFE & STYLE?

COUTUREcolorado LIFE & STYLE is a one-of-a-kind online magazine/blog and resource guide for the modern Colorado woman.

Daily posts feature all of the great things Colorado has to offer, from fabulous local designers to the hottest fitness classes in town. We are honored to share exclusive interviews with incredible business-owners as well as locally-produced style shoots from all over the state. From style to health and from dining to playing, we cover it all.

Our mission is to INSPIRE the modern Colorado woman to lead a healthy, active and stylish life.

Our motto is BE AN INSPIRATION. BE INSPIRED.

Your motto is “BE AN INSPIRATION. BE INSPIRED.” What inspires you?

People. This job enables me to connect to a lot of people. I love getting to know their stories. In one week, I worked with a fashion designer from Germany {Dannenman Pure} for a style shoot, then interviewed a man that makes custom skies and later that day photographed Willie Nelson. All of them have talent, passion and an inspiring story. They inspire me. And then I get to share their stories with my readers. I just love my job!

When are you not blogging, what do you like to do for fun?

I am seriously having a LOVE AFFAIR with Colorado. Ever since my first family ski trip when I was 12 years old, I have only wanted to live in Colorado. I finally got to call Colorado my home in 1997. With that said, I am a big fan of everything this state has to offer. Skiing and hiking are my faces. I would call myself “girly girl with tomboy hobbies”. I love fashion! And there is no better place to shop than Cherry Creek and Aspen.

Big Thank you to Laura to doing this interview with us and also to Chowen Photography for sharing these photos!

Denver Wedding Cinematography | Grant-Humphreys Mansion

Monica & Brett | Wedding Highlights from Premium Digital Solutions on Vimeo.

Monica and Brett exchanged their wedding vows and danced the night away at Denver’s historic Grant-Humphreys Mansion on a rainy May day.  Such a fun couple, so sweet, and so great!  A big thank you to Stephanie from Bella Notte coordinating the events of the wedding day.

They began their shoot at Berencies salon where Monica and her bridesmaids had their hair and make-up done.  Brett and his groomsmen were hanging at the Burnsley hotel near Grant-HumpherysMansion.  They were in a spacious suite on the 12th floor overlooking downtown Denver.  Awesome views up there!  After Monica’s hair appointment, she arrived at the mansion to finish getting ready.  With the help of her bridesmaids she put on her dress in one of the large beautiful rooms upstairs at the mansion. 

Mother Nature didn’t cooperate with the weather during the ceremony.  On the positive side, no wind and no down pour, just gentle and consistent rain.  From a video standpoint, it was interesting to see the all the guest under a sea of umbrellas and the gentle sound of the rain added a sound of calmness to the ceremony.

After dinner, while everyone was setting up shots of the cake down stairs somebody tripped off the fire alarm.  Everyone had to wait outside until the fire department arrived to check the premises and shut the fire alarm off.  Well, a couple of the bridesmaids decided to make the best of the situation and ask the firemen if they could mock rescue them from the building.  Of course the cameras were left rolling to capture the priceless moment.
