Boulder Colorado Engagement Photography | Sam & Eric
Last month I met Sam, Eric and their giant dog Salis out at Wonderland Lake in Boulder, Colorado for an engagement portrait session. Working with such a large animal was super challenging and fun! Luckily, they planned ahead and had a friend come meet us so that she could wrangle the beast while we did some photos of the happy couple who just moved to Colorado and will marry next summer. Congrats Sam & Eric and welcome to Colorado!

Red Lion Restaurant | Boulder Wedding Photography
Danielle & Mike had a beautiful, simple and intimate wedding at the Red Lion Restaurant in Boulder, Colorado. Another perfect day for this happy couple and their close knit family and friends. These two do NOT like to be the center of attention and I really felt honored they allowed me to come and photograph their very important day!
Here is what the sweet bride had to say…
” Kira is a wonderful, professional photographer whose quality, vivid photos speak for themselves. My husband and I are thrilled with the results of her creativity and thoughtfulness; our photos are amazing! Kira knows what she is doing and took the reigns when it came to group family photos and bridal/groomsmen party to ensure everything turned out right. My family and I will cherish these photos forever, and I hope to work with Kira again someday.”

Boulder Colorado Wedding Photography | Beatrix & Edwin
Beatrix & Edwin had an a amazing Boulder, Colorado wedding. Beatrix began the day being prepped and pampered at the St. Julien Hotel before she met her dashing groom on the deck at the Flagstaff House Restaurant. They had a perfect day and I had a blast capturing all the hugs and tears that were overflowing from the close group of family and friends they invited to the ceremony. We made photos with the Flatirons as our backdrop and even headed back to town to make a couple quick portraits with their dogs dressed also as a bride and groom. The night finished up at Edwin’s restaurant Radda Trattoria with delicious food and plenty of wild dancing to celebrate such a wonderful day.
Sweet words from a equally sweet bride:
“We felt very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with you seeing all your previous work and we were not disappointed. You captured our lives and most precious moments beautifully. Looking at the photos feels like we are living through that wonderful day again. Thank you Kira!”

Winter Valentine’s Day Wedding on Skis! | Mountain Wedding Photos
A few years ago I was invited to a businesswomen’s networking event in Boulder and that is where I met Jennifer. I remember being totally amazed by her, she is super talented and has had a very interesting life (jazz singer, Russian translator, graphic designer), so I was super excited when she asked me to photograph her wedding.
Jennifer and Kevin did NOT want a traditional wedding and threw around all kinds of ideas looking to make their day unique and fun. All their hard work and planning paid off as they recited their vows on Valentine’s Day, in the middle of a blizzard, at the top of Loveland Ski Resort. Married on Valentine’s Day at a place called Loveland, how perfect!
Traditional, this wedding was not, ridiculously fun and adventurous it was! It was not an easy task, but the bold couple managed to get about thirty of their closest family and friends to the top of the mountain to watch them make it official. The father of the bride held the bouquet, they wore creative homemade bride and groom attire and were surrounded by other couples decked out in wild costumes reciting/renewing their own vows.
An afternoon of powdery skiing was followed by a wonderful house party in a beautiful Keystone mountain cabin where they shared delicious food and conversation and the musically gifted, jazzy bride entertained her guests long into the evening.
This wedding was such a challenge but totally worth it! I can’t help but giggle a little to myself when worried brides ask me how I will handle low lighting at a venue. I don’t just do a photojournalistic style, I am a photojournalist. I’ve been through the ringer while on assignments for newspapers and other news organizations covering raging house fires in the dead of night, trekking through water up to my knees during natural disasters, and held my own ground while hostile protesters shoved and pushed. Now I’ve shot a wedding in the middle of a blizzard, I can definitely handle some dim lighting! 🙂
A lovely testimonial from a lovely couple:
“When we approached Kira about photographing our winter wedding on skis, she was completely unfazed by our unusual request. In fact, she was really thrilled with the opportunity. She inspired great confidence in us from the get-go, thanks to her background as a staff photographer for the Vail Daily and her absolutely gorgeous portfolio of wedding photos set in the mountains. When the day came to shoot our Valentine’s Day mass wedding at Loveland Ski Area, we were almost swept away in a sea of complete chaos. But, Kira was highly professional and completely in control of the situation, making sure we got truly amazing magazine-quality shots that were better than we ever hoped. I highly recommend her to any couple looking for incredible wedding photos that truly capture the moment (and make you look absolutely beautiful). Plus, her kind, cheerful personality make her a delight to work with. We will cherish our photos for a lifetime. “
