This is where I will include photographs from various events and photojournalism entries about events in my own life as a wedding photographer in Denver, Colorado and destination photographer around the world.
I shot these images during the live performance at the Four Seasons Denver Grand Opening party with my 85mm 1.2. Probably not the lens one would think to use in a situation like this as it’s slow to focus, especially in the dark, but I’m really glad I took the risk because I happen to think the images I got with it are totally bad***! I always love event photography and this was no different- photographing this band was amazing! OneRepublic, you guys freaking ROCK!
This won’t be news for most of you, but downtown Denver just got better. The Four Seasons Denver is now open and in full swing! I want to express my gratitude for being chosen as one of their preferred photographers. I am SO happy that this gorgeous hotel has graced our city! It is contemporary and lusciously modern and the people that work there have all been wonderful to me. I am so excited about this new partnership with them and I can’t wait to shoot a wedding there! I was given the pleasure of photographing their opening day (all the new employees came to work for the first day, greeted by cheering coworkers, a red carpet, paparazzi photographers, and a DJ rocking out in the lobby. Talk about a great big WARM welcome!) I was also there for their official grand opening and you could literally feel the buzz of the energy of everyone there. And finally, I was invited to photograph their Grand Opening party on Nov.6th. It was spectacular party with amazing food, an open bar, a giant candy room, live music, acrobats hanging from the ceiling, a dance party on the pool deck…and more. I was right next to the stage for the OneRepublic performance…I love that band and they are even more fantastic live! Here are a few favorites and there will be more to come…
The Ritz-Carlton, Bachlor Gulch was an outstanding venue for both the ceremony and the reception in every way. The Perfect Petal knocked it out of the park (really) with their flowers and decor. The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful. Table 6 Productions was there coordinating all the hundreds of details. Boogielicious (the band) was phenomenal and had the whole party shaking into the wee hours of the night. And last but certainly not least, Julie shot her heart out with me all day. What else can I say?? We had an A-team of vendors, a gorgeous (and super happy!) couple, and it was a rockin’ day all the way around Check out their rockin’ slideshow here!
This is the first summer that I have had an intern, and it’s been so fantastic! I just LUV Bonnie and I am going to be so sad when she leaves me next week. Bonnie is the sister of a bride of mine from 2008 who I became friends with on Facebook and who was interested in moving to CO from New Hampshire for the summer to work for me. My intention for her was to have her help me with my marketing because I never seem to have the time to submit my work to magazines and blogs and it’s an area of my business that I know I need help with. She has been great at it! And the weddings she has submitted over the last few weeks have been getting snapped up by several different weddings blogs! It feels so great to get to share my work with more people. I can’t believe I haven’t been doing this sooner…
