Photo Session Blog
I’ve been lucky to officially photograph Braden and Justin three times–for their Boulder engagement session, their Lone Hawk Farm Longmont wedding, and now for the anniversary of their wedding. But, since they are my in-laws, I “unofficially” photograph them during family events like graduations, Christmas, and Halloween. Even though the unofficial images tell a bit more of our family story, I loved photographing them around their one-year wedding anniversary for a planned portrait session

Let me start by saying that Margaret and Michael are one of my favorite wedding couples to date. I am so very fortunate to be able to provide Denver wedding photography services to them. Mike is hysterical–I still remember how much he made me giggle during the engagement session. And Margaret is just the sweetest person in the world. So photographing their Golden, Colorado wedding day was something I was very excited to get to do.
love doing engagement sessions; they are a great way for me to get to know my wedding couples better. I think that is pretty important, so I offer engagement sessions for free as part of all of my wedding collections. And, like I always say, if a guy can get through an engagement session, his wedding day will be a piece of cake!
Right now, I am still accepting weddings for 2014. My schedule is filling up, which makes me feel incredibly honored. I look forward to a whole new season of getting to know my wedding couples and to share in some of the most memorable moments of their lives. I look forward to pushing my photography skills, being more efficient in my growing business, and to being more mindful in all areas of my life. I look forward to a wonderful, joyful year, and I hope that yours is too. Happy 2014!
I love this wedding for many reasons. The Hotel Monaco where Marisol got ready is amazing. Her room was absolutely divine. And then when we met up at Cheesman Park for the first look and portraits, it started to snow. Marisol was a trooper–she even took off her coat in the frigid weather for portraits. I took mine off in solidarity. And their families braved the temps with enthusiasm and grace. It was craziness. The ceremony was sweet, with a good friend officiating. (I love it when the officiant is a dear friend or relative–so meaningful.) The rest of the reception was a blast–good food, loud music, fun dancing and one of my favorite photos ever (the couple crossing the street in the snow).
A couple thoughts…getting married at Planet Bluegrass seems like just about the coolest wedding venue possible. Home to Rocky Grass and the Folks Festival, Planet Bluegrass is steeped in music tradition. And it is beautiful–the stage, the silo, the open grassy field, the rock wall by the North St. Vrain River.
Wedding season is in full swing! Before I share images from this season, I realized I still have a few weddings from last season to post. This wedding at Lone Hawk Farm in Longmont, Colorado was featured on Love Toast’s blog last fall. Besides being my sister-in-law’s big day, it was wonderful for other reasons as well. The table centerpieces featured the work of local Boulder artists, like Caroline Douglas. The ring belonged to the groom’s great-grandmother. The ring “pillow” was made by the groom.
Today, I wanted to share a couple of sneak peek portraits from a wedding I photographed in May. Amanda and Josh had a wonderful day at Highland Meadows Golf Course in Windsor, Colorado. The guests were among the nicest I’ve met at a wedding, everyone was laid-back even when wind caused the celebration to take place indoors, and Amanda looked stunning. Thanks for the opportunity to take part in your day, Amanda and Josh!
If I lived in Colorado Springs or Castle Rock and was looking for a wedding venue, I would definitely consider Crooked Willow Farm in Larkspur. I mean, in addition to beautiful buildings, suites, and flowers, they have a camel! A camel! And, of course, breath-taking mountain views. I photographed this wedding for Jenna Walker Photography last fall, and it was definitely one of the prettiest of last year’s wedding season. Event coordinator Sarah Viera Event Planning & Design did an excellent job.
On Friday a special package arrived on my doorstep. From Italy. I tore open the box, eager to check out the wedding album of one of my 2012 wedding couples. How heavy the book, how thick the pages, how beautiful to take in an entire wedding without a computer screen. In this day and age, many of my clients choose not to order a keepsake, archival, lifetime album from me, which I understand.
Early last fall I had the opportunity to be a second photographer for my favorite Colorado wedding photographers, Jenna Walker Photography. This is an image from that wedding, which took place at the amazing Crooked Willow Farm in Larkspur. Of course, I love the back lighting and bright colors and flowers, but mainly, I just like the moment. Private, quiet, she is fixing up her dad before they walk down the aisle towards new chapters in their relationship.
Hello Everyone! Yes, I am still out here. I’ve been busy getting to know wedding couples, photographing family sessions, working on a new pet website, revamping my main website. So even though I haven’t posted as much as I would like, I am still out here, working away! The last few weeks have included a lot of camera fun.
