Boulder Engagement Photography: Katherine and Kevin

May 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

One of my favorite things about my job is when I get to photograph a couple that is as free and easy together as Kevin and Katherine are!  We had so much fun running around for their Boulder engagement photos starting at my (and their) alma-mater, CU, then up and down the busy Pearl Street Mall, and finishing up at Chautauqua Park with views of the stunning Flatirons.  We spent about two hours together just laughing and goofing around and we got some amazing images for their engagement signature book that I will be creating for their wedding guests to sign.  This is becoming a very popular product and it’s always fun to extend the engagement session in order to get more variety for the book.  Katherine and Kevin are SO fabulous together and I am so so excited for their July wedding in Colorado Springs. Thank you again for finding me and for being such great sports! Seriously can not WAIT for your big day!!  It’ll be here before we know it.  :-)

P.S. Their wedding WAS amazing, Check out their wedding photos here!

Eryn & Sean: Ft. Morgan Engagement Photography

May 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I grew up in Ft. Morgan, a small town in northeastern Colorado, and while it’s not exactly “convenient” for me to do photo shoots there now, I often find myself thinking of places I used to drive by or hang out at that would make excellent locations for different photo shoots I fantasize about. One such photo-fantasy came true a couple of weeks ago and I am in love with these engagement photos! When Eryn emailed me and said she was hoping I could give her some ideas for a cool location that included “open spaces and a barn or something” I immediately had the image of this old barn in a huge open field that is right across the highway from the Fort Morgan airport. Besides the fact that Eryn and Sean were willing to trek out to east, I also love this couple because we connected so instantly when we met and I just knew we would have an easy-breezy time together and that I would be able to get amazing images with them. My instincts were correct. :-) I love it when that happens!! We met at the old barn for photos there first then wandered over to the classic rainbow bridge (a high school hang out spot for me) and finished up at Riverside park. Eryn and Sean are getting married at Devil’s Thumb Ranch on Oct. 1st and Julie Gambrell from Classic Creations will be coordinating the wedding. Considering how fab the E-session was, I am SO excited for the actual wedding day and the gorgeous images we are sure to create together! Sessions like this have me fall in love with my craft over and over again… thank you Eryn and Sean for helping me create new Art with your Life! Thank you Julie for introducing us.

Denver Engagement Photography: Laura and Dennis

May 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I take it as a wonderful compliment when a couple books me to photograph their wedding without meeting me first.  Laura & Dennis found me on the Lodge at Vail’s preferred vendor list, which lends me a dose of credibility, yet still, their trust in who I am as a person and as a photographer really means a lot to me!  This adorable couple lives and works in New York, but are having their wedding this July in Vail.  I am SO looking forward to it!  Laura and Dennis and I met for the first time a few weeks ago at Hudson Garden in Denver to take their intimate engagement photos. I must admit, I had sort of forgotten what a great location Hudson Gardens is. There are lots of great little spots for photography and we had beautiful soft light- even if it was a “tad” chilly for a May afternoon in Colorado.  Laura and Dennis were both great sports and cooperated with all the goofy things I was asking them to do. We were able to mix it up, break the ice, and I eventually got a sense of their personalities before their big day this summer.  I was really happy to find that we had an easy and relaxed connection, after meeting them for the engagement session, I knew the wedding is going to be amazing, no doubt in my mind!  Thanks again Laura for choosing me sight unseen,  I love and appreciate your trust in me!  When my clients really trust me, I am able to be my most creative self. :)

Denver Engagement Photos: Christine and Mike

May 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I am so excited about Christine and Mike’s wedding which will be taking place at the Denver Ritz-Carlton on June 4th of this year.  Heather Allen from Table 6 Productions is producing and coordinating this fabulous affair and it is sure to be extraordinary!  I’ve had so much fun getting to know both Christine and Mike over the course of the last year and thinking about it reminds me how important the connection between my clients and myself truly is.  When there is good chemistry and an easy connection, the expressions and body language that make beautiful images comes out so wonderfully naturally. When I met them both about nine months ago we were total strangers.  And now, as we are coming up on their wedding in just a few weeks, I feel like I will be photographing the wedding of friends.  :-)   I am truly grateful to do the work that I do photographing weddings.  I realize that I’m not exactly saving lives, but creating art and beauty for myself and others to share with the world and to keep close to their hearts and in their families forever is a wonderful thing…and, a far cry from any ordinary “job” I might have found myself in before I found the courage to follow my heart and become a photographer.

In addition to their engagement photos in downtown Denver, I also had a blast doing both a Love the Dress (bridal portraits) session and boudoir photo-shoot with Christine at Crooked Willow Farms.
