Jeneisa + Taylor: Colorado Wedding at Arrowhead Golf Course

Posted in Wedding

Jeneisa and Taylor were married a few weeks back at Arrowhead Golf Course in Littleton. Michelle and I have photographed at Arrowhead a few times but hadn’t been back for a full wedding (ceremony & reception) since 2007 so we were looking forward to Jeneisa and Taylor’s wedding there. We met the girls at the Element Hotel next to Park Meadows for a few quick shots of them getting ready and I have to say that the lobby at the hotel is awesome! Definitely hope to photograph in there someday. Right before we headed off I took just a couple of Jeneisa sitting in the lobby “attempting” to relax those prewedding jitters. By the time we got to Arrowhead we knew it was going to be a hot day- and without a cloud in the sky. After the ceremony we headed out with the golf carts for a few pictures of just Jeneisa + Taylor. I wanted to snap a few pictures of them while we were driving so Michelle got to drive her first golf cart- and she didn’t crash! She had a bad experience with a go-kart as a kid so this was progressicon smile photoThey had a pretty sweet light set up during the reception which made for some really cool dancing images and loved the bubbles during their first dance- always a favorite. We had a wonderful time with these two and wish them all the best!

Katie + Sujan: Inverness Hotel Denver Wedding

Posted in Wedding

I’ve been looking forward to Katie & Sujan’s wedding since Katie first contacted me a year ago and asked if we could photograph their big day. Katie & I have known one another since way back in high school- in fact we graduated 10 years ago together (geeze that makes me feel old)! It’s crazy to think about all that has changed in the last 10 years and it was so much fun to see some familiar faces at their wedding. Katie & Sujan were married at the Inverness Hotel the end of July and the weather couldn’t have been better. Although we ran into a bit of a snag with the timeline when the buttons on Katie’s dress decided to be uncooperative, the day turned out great and we walked away with some amazing pictures. Scott Stebner of Stebner Photography was able to join us for the day to second shoot for me. It was so much fun having him around- I think we may just have to borrow him for a few more weddingsicon smile photoI probably went a little overboard with all the pictures in this post but I just couldn’t help it. The details that went into the wedding were just beautiful! The night ended with everyone singing and dancing to Sinatra’s New York, New York- couldn’t have been more fitting for this New York couple. Here are some of my favorites shots from the day- gotta love the NY Mets baseball groom’s cake!  Thanks guys for allowing us to be a part of your big day and we might just have to take you up on the offer to visit you in New York sometimeicon smile photo

Katie + Felix Engagement Session at Mount Falcon: Denver Engagement Photography

Posted in Engagement

There are so many beautiful mountain type settings in Colorado to photograph so when Katie asked me what my favorite location was it was a bit difficult to narrow it down. However, one location that definitely stuck in my mind was Mount Falcon after photographing there with Traci & Jeff just a month prior. We decided that would be the place to go and I’m so glad we did! The sunset that night was just beautiful and we couldn’t have been in a more perfect location to capture it! Katie & Felix are such a blast to be around! In fact, this was probably one of my longest engagement sessions we’ve ever done. I could have shot all night if Michelle didn’t stop me. Katie was so excited for the session that it was impossible to not catch her smiling at Felix the entire time. We actually hiked for a little over 2 miles that night for their session- yep a 2 mile hike on an engagement session. And they didn’t complain one bit! The funny thing is that I don’t think we even realized how far it was until we were most of the way back and the sun was starting to set. We got some amazing pictures of these two and we can’t wait for their wedding next summer to take more!

Kate + Bob: Wedding at Vail Interfaith Chapel + Sonnenalp Resort

Posted in Wedding

Colorado summers are typically hot & sunny with afternoon thunderstorms so it’s pretty rare when the forecast calls for all day rain and dreary weather in the summer. Rain is usually a nice relief from the heat but when you plan a wedding it’s not something you hope for. When we left that Saturday morning on our way to Vail (in the pouring rain) for Kate & Bob’s wedding we had a plan to make sure we got some great pictures despite the bad weather. We brought some lighting equipment and planned to take pictures inside. However, when we made it up to Vail that morning the weather was anything but what they predicted. We had beautiful skies and although the clouds were coming in and out it held for a majority of the day until after we were almost through with pictures of Kate & Bob. It was perfect that they had a morning wedding- the rain held just in time for us to finish pictures before the start of the reception (indoors). It actually worked out perfect for the rain to start so we were able to capture a few pics with the two of them under an umbrella- which always makes a great prop for photos! Kate & Bob were married at the Vail Interfaith Chapel and held their reception at Ludwig’s Terrace at the Sonnenalp Resort. Kate’s family is Polish so it was very cool to hear peoples speaking in Polish (and Kate’s accent is awesome). Bob’s mom learned a little Polish to read a special message to the couple and Kate’s family during the toasts- to see how much that meant to Kate & her family was so beautiful. We had a wonderful time photographing their wedding and captured so many great images! Congrats guys!

Heather + Don Wedding at the Manor House: Ken Caryl Ranch

Posted in Wedding

This year wedding season started a bit later than usual for us with our first wedding in May. And…. Heather & Don’s Wedding was a perfect start to the season! The two of them were married out at the Manor House in Ken Caryl Ranch. It was the first time we’ve photographed there and it’s a beautiful location. An early 1900’s mansion right at the foothills backing to a field which made for some awesome pictures after the wedding with the two of them in my favorite light- sunset! Of course being in Ken Caryl Ranch there is a bit of wildlife around the property as well. We saw an eagle, some deer, and lots of rabbits including one little guy who somehow got into the bride’s dressing room upstairs. Poor little thing was scared to death as we were trying to catch him but Don’s son in law caught the little guy and he seemed pretty content being held while I took some pictures. Heather & Don are just such nice people and we had a wonderful time photographing the day for them. It was such a pleasure working with you guys!
