"M" Family Photos

Had the wonderful chance to work with this wonderful family recently in their home to capture some unique shots of their family and friends. You’ll recognize the young man as Eric from the AC/DC themed senior shot in Red Rocks from much earlier this year.

I just wanted to share our holiday cards with those who we might have missed on our mailing list this year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year


John and Natasha

Every once in a while you come across a couple where you just tell yourself, I have to shoot their wedding. John and Natasha is just such a couple.

When I first talked to Natasha on the phone she was stressed, nervous, and trying to put together a wedding in a few weeks instead of the months they had planned on. There was a relocation to another state on the horizon and the job hunting that goes with that. When I told her what we’d to to help out I could hear at least a little of that stress fade away.

When I met Natasha at the studio to go over details I knew I made the right decision. This one one of those weddings that I just HAD to shoot. Her excitement was simply infectious. Many things had started falling into place with the help of her church and friends.

The wedding day arrived and I met up with Natasha at her hair dresser. Then it was off to the church, the University Church of Christ. While bobbing around between the bride and the groom before the ceremony I caught the musicians start to warm up, and was overjoyed when they started playing the familiar notes of “Christmas Canon” – one of my favorite holiday songs, that was the song Natasha would be shortly walking down the isle to.

John and Natasha, I hope your new home and jobs are perfect matches for you and hope you two have a magnificent life together. It was truly and honor to document your wedding for you.

We’ll be processing images for a few more days with the holidays and all but here’s a little something to hold you through.

"E" Family Photos

Ever since I did Jackson’s senior photos I’ve had the pleasure of working with his family on a few other projects, be it his fathers corporate headshots a while back or more recently some family photos. Here’s just a few from a mixed studio/location session from this last fall.

Renewal, Shaun and Alex

Sometimes getting married once is not enough for some couples. Shaun and Alex first marriage was a small and private ceremony. A while down the road they walked down the isle again but this time with a hall of family and friends in attendance.

Of course the greatest thing about a married couple getting married is that the family has already increased – and their adorable daughter was one of the stars of the day.

Normally it’s the ladies that get the best shots – but this time around the guys who showed up early rocked it.

Yup, that’s snow behind these cool dudes.

Even a second ceremony is a lovely and solemn event.

One of my favorite first dance photos this year.
