Denver Engagement Photography: Stef and Tim

This adorable couple, or trio, is every wedding photographers dream!  Stef, Tim, TJ and I had a blast in downtown Denver doing some amazing engagement photography!

This picture perfect couple met through a mutual friend at work, and as they say, the rest is history! Stef, otherwise known to her close friends as “Butters” is a dance coach at Columbine high school, and formerly a Denver Bronco’s cheerleader.  Tim, a root canal specialist, purposed to his bride at the Pathways Church in Denver on a Thursday afternoon, a completely unexpected, romantic and wonderful surprise! They love to travel, play games, and hang out with the adorable TJ.

I truly enjoyed working with Stef, Tim and of course  TJ, who is quite the entertainer and stud might I add :)  Not only were they incredibly photogenic, but they also had great care-free attitudes, and were willing to do anything and go everywhere! Clowning around with TJ, blowing kisses to one another and walking the streets of Denver was such a great time on this perfect summer afternoon. Shooting these three made my job pretty easy! It doesn’t take long to see that they are all so excited and happy for the upcoming wedding! I totally loved Stef’s pink dress and awesome heels! The guys also looked great in their matching shirts!

When this couple isn’t enjoying a concert or rooting for the Nuggets, Bronco’s or Rockies, they are spending time with TJ, watching him grow and thrive in athletics. Tim’s handsome six-year-old son TJ is taking on the big role of being the best man for their special day! Stef and Tim plan on taking some photos before the wedding at Stef’s stomping ground- Invesco field! I have never done photography at Invesco so I’m totally excited! The couple plans on a contemporary wedding, with pink, grey and black color themes and Tim’s good friend as the guitarist for cocktail hour.

I am so thrilled to be shooting this exciting couples Colorado wedding! Tim and Stef’s wedding site will be at the Four Seasons in downtown Denver on September 4th 2011.  I truly can’t wait for their amazing September wedding, I know it’s going to be a great day filled with amazing wedding photography, love, celebration and how could I forget – dancing!!  

Red Rocks Engagement Photography in Denver: Michele and Bob

My engagement session with the lovely Michele and Bob Hart was incredible on this gorgeous day filled with rainbows at the amazing Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado!

This couple met in 2000 while Michele was bar-tending and they plan on having their wedding on May 5th, 2012 on a Caribbean cruise!!  Michele thinks her wedding colors will be black, white and pink – and looks forward to celebrating on the ocean with her closest friends and family. Sounds amazing, I think a cruise wedding is a fun and unique idea!

I had so much fun with these two at Red Rocks! Michele, a sales manager, and Bob, a Denver police officer, wanted to capture some intimate and beautiful scenery before their big wedding day! All I can say is that this engagement shoot was a huge success! Michele and Bob were not only happy and adorable, but it didn’t hurt to be surrounded by gorgeous cliffs, rocks, and even rainbows!  The happy couple were all smiles once we broke the ice and got going. They did an awesome job at being relaxed and comfortable! I should thank Michele and Bob for being such great sports, especially when I asked them to venture over large rocks and climbing to the perfect spot! It’s so great when a couple is just as eager as I am to try something new and really capture that perfect shot. They really look amazing together, with their own special rainbow and amazing sky. I was so excited when I saw that rainbow coming out, it must have been Michele & Bob’s lucky day!

I am looking forward to seeing Michele and Bob again in early October for their engagement party at the Hudson Gardens! It’s going to be a great day for some wedding photography and celebration! Thanks Michele and Bob for giving me the opportunity to get rugged at Red Rocks and capture some of the most epic and gorgeous engagement photography!

Denver Egagement Photography: Lisa and Franco

Lisa was my very first assistant here in CO and worked for me for about a year back in 2006/7.  She was a huge help and I loved having her.  She eventually moved on into her teacher career but we have stayed friends and I was thrilled when she called me to tell me that she was engaged, having a destination wedding in Mexico, and wanted me to come!  OF COURSE!  I will be there with bells on…  and very soon.  They are getting married in Cancun at the Azul Sensatori Hotel over Thanksgiving.  I am really looking forward to spending a few days over Thanksgiving this year on the beach!  Hopefully getting my tan back on. Lisa and Franco I’m so glad we were able to catch the fall colors for you for the E session.  Can’t wait for the wedding!!  See you in Mexico!  Yipee!

Engagement Session over Aspen: Air Photography!

Charity is always a wonderful thing! :-) One of my couples bought an “Aspen Package” at a silent auction charity event and in it included a flight over Aspen.  Lucky for me, they hadn’t yet taken advantage of that piece before we scheduled their engagement session and I got to go with them!!  It was SO AMAZING.  Truly, a flight to remember forever.  The pilot, Polly, knew everything about the mountains and the surrounding area, so we had an exceptional air tour of all of the surrounding mountains.  There was a little window cut into the real window that opened for me to stick my lens through and since Tess and Scott sat together in the back, I got to sit next to the pilot and take photos out the window. The scenery from the air was just spectacular!  And if it looks like we were flying close to the mountain tops—we were!  It makes me excited for winter.  One day I hope I fly myself in and out of that airport.
I had a fabulous time with the lovely Tess Siler and her charming finace, Scott Simpson. After the flight we hung out and had lunch at then continued on to another spot for a more photos.  It was a gorgeous fall day, an amazing airplane ride, and an all-around fantastic time with two people I am happy to have as clients and friends.  I couldn’t ask for more for an engagement session!  I am so happy to be working with these two and looking forward to their wedding next spring at the Sanctuary with Ann Marlin from Cloud 9 Weddings and Papers.
