Nicole & Chris- Colorado Wedding at the Wild Basin Lodge in Estes Park

The stage was set for an outdoor wedding, in the lovely meadows at Wild Basin Lodge, but the typically unpredictable mountain weather brought rain just as the procession lined up. Despite the scramble for Plan B Nicole & Chris had a beautifully, intimate ceremony with only their families and a few close friends looking on.

I was only with the newlyweds for a brief time to capture their special day but thankfully the weather began to cooperate and we were able to wander around the fantastic grounds surrounding the lodge and make beautiful portraits full of perfect flat light, dramatic storm clouds and one blissfully happy couple.

Carol & Chris Wedding at The Denver Westin Downtown

Carol & Chris were married on the pool deck of Denver’s Westin hotel on one of the longest days of the year. The brilliant, late day, golden sunlight illuminated smiling guests who tried to cool themselves with blue and white fans on the hot summer day and the happy couple were so much fun to work with as we made portraits around the bustling 16th Street Mall. One of my favorite and most memorable parts of the day was during the reception when the father of the bride read a four page speech that had the entire room in stitches and the bride blushing with embarassment and love.

Thanks so much to Deseri at the Westin who did a beautiful job with the Augusta Room, decked out in Carol’s favorite shade of purple, and to DJ Jay Kacik with Standing Room Only who kept the guests on their feet.

Molly & Adam at Boulder’s Lone Hawk Farm

I recently had the pleasure of helping out my good friend and talented photographer Jenny Nelson for a couple of hours during one of her weddings at Boulder’s Lone Hawk Farm. Molly & Adam had a beautiful outdoor wedding with bocce ball, corn hole and homemade jam as gifts for their guests. I loved the feel to this wedding, simple and rustic, and all the thought that went into all the lovely details.

When working as a second shooter the focus is generally on details and the guests, here are a few of my favorites.

Mexico Cenote Trash the Dress Session with Kerra & Patrick

Cenotes are the only source of fresh water on the Yucatan Peninsula. They are these amazing, mystical, crystal clear pools of water usually set deep in the jungle or can be found in hidden underground caverns. I was psyched when Kerra & Patrick said they wanted to do a Trash the Dress session at one of them and I knew the perfect spot near Playa del Carmen. The underwater shoot was a breeze for Kerra, a triathlete, who is super comfortable in the water and she was so patient and willing to try all the crazy ideas I was coming up with so that we could get the best shot. Patrick was such a good sport also, cheering on his new wife even when his soaking wet suit started to make him shiver. Trash the Dress sessions are not always the easiest shoots but with an adventurous, easy-going couple like Kerra & Patrick we were able to make some beautiful images and had so much fun doing it.

Tori & Jon | Denver Wedding at the Magnolia Hotel

Tori & Jon held their April Denver wedding at the Trinity United Methodist Church and then hosted an amazing party at the beautiful and romantic Magnolia Hotel ballroom in downtown Denver. The Texas natives celebrated into the wee hours of the morning with guests who never left the dance floor and huge smiles that never left their faces. Cori Cook did an amazing job with the flowers, the centerpieces were incredable, and I absolutely loved the cascading orchid bouquet she created for the beaming bride. Thanks Tori & Jon, you were a wonderful couple to photograph!
