I met Lauren & Galen at their home away from home, Chautauqua Park, for their engagement session. The happy couple are part of the local search and rescue team and are also avid climbers and frequently scale up the flatirons for some breathtaking views. We had a wonderful time hiking around the trails making images and I am really looking forward to their August wedding!
I was in southern California recently to run the OC Marathon, visit with my college friends and soak up some wonderful salty sea air. During my visit I was also lucky enough to set up a couple of shoots with my friends children. I haven’t worked too much with infants, they were a challenge, especially 3 week old twins! The photo shoots were a blast though and I feel our patience and persistence paid off with some beautiful and memorable images. Thanks Watson’s and Giglio’s!
My college friends Chris & Michelle made their first visit to Colorado this spring with their daughter Kendall in tow and we were able to make a quick stop at the Flatirons for a brief photo shoot with the beautiful one-year-old.
I had the pleasure working alongside Nikki Ritcher again at the beginning of the new year. Her cousin Liz married long-time boyfriend Steven at Englewood’s St Thomas Moore Church and they had their reception at the Denver Tech Center’s Marriott Hotel. Liz handled the brisk January weather in her sleeveless gown like a champ and their lively guests welcomed the newlyweds into the new year by burning up the dance floor.
Jessica & Daniel were married at Denver’s Brown Palace in the beautiful Onyx Room under a mural of cherubs painted into a blue sky. Their ceremony was filled with laughs, tears and a sweet little kiss on Daniel’s ring after Jessica slipped it on his finger. It was fantastic having time to wander around the hauntingly romantic, historic hotel and make some creative portraits. I love when a couple forgets I am there, like Jessica & Daniel, and truly enjoys the moments after they are wed as I happily snap away. During the reception their small but lively group of family and friends wore that dance floor out with salsa numbers and line dances from the moment the music started until the very last song. Thank you Jessica & Daniel for making the last wedding of my season such a beautiful and memorable one. I am a lucky photographer to have had such amazing couples to work with.
I had the pleasure of working with San Francisco based photographer Nikki Ritcher in early October photographing the wedding of Jen & Mike at the Sanctuary Golf Course in Sedalia. I haven’t been a “second shooter” in a while and it was really nice having some of the pressure taken off of me. Jen & Mike were really wonderful to work with and Nikki is a very talented and laid back photographer- we got along famously and I look forward to working with her again in January.
