Ah, summer. And what more says summer than the Great American Road Trip? Last month, my husband and I bravely loaded up our 8 month old and 2+ year old to head up to the playground that is Jackson, Wyoming. The drive is about 8 hours, and we did it without any electronic entertainment devices. (Admittedly this is only because I hid that iPad so well from my toddler a couple months ago, that I still haven’t found it.)
And now for photos of the Fort Collins marriage celebration! In true Colorado style, the wedding couple surprised their guests by sharing their new status (married) with family and friends at a fun reception at the Pateros Creek Brewing Company in Fort Collins, Colorado. Great conversation, good beer, and bar games added to the happy mood.
Grandparents, getting ready, late night dancing…these have always been among my favorite things to photograph during weddings. But this year, I have also been enjoying the formal portraits a lot more. I used to stress out about them, but now I just try to go with the flow. Instead of looking for the perfect shaded location, I am more eager to play with highlights and shadows, or back-light people for even lighting on their faces. And (as always) I try to go through them quickly, without a lot of fuss. Let’s do them, try to get real laughs (perhaps thanks to the one joke that I can remember)(which I also made up), try to capture a bit of motion, and let’s get you back to mingling and celebrating with the most important people in your life.
I am looking forward to the wedding of this lovely couple later in the summer. I met up with them at a a park in Highlands Ranch on an unusually warm March day and had fun photographing them. The spot was a bit challenging due to a complete lack of shade and many suburban houses, but I think we made it work really nicely.
As a Boulder wedding photographer, I love photographing clients in Boulder (for a change). I had fun meeting these two wedding clients on a warm winter/spring night in Boulder, Colorado. The groom had requested a night engagement session, which is not my normal style. Since he was aware of that, I was excited to get out my portable strobes and have some fun…the only way to get better is push yourself!
