Denver Colorado wedding photojournalist and fine art photographer Mark Hayes
As an award winning member of the Artistic Guild of Wedding Photojournalists Association I do like to get creative from time to time. Now most of my wedding photos are pretty straight up with minimal “photoshop special effects”. Lets face it, nobody wants their wedding photos to look dated and tacky 20 years...
A few years back I had the pleasure of hearing one of my favorite wedding photographers speak, Mr. Joe Buissink. Always inspired by his work I listened to each and every word as if he where preaching the gospel. I thing he said that I’ve always remembered – and try to run my...
Sometimes the engagement session is also a great time for some individual headshot portraits. Lets face it your mom has been bugging you for a current picture and that snapshot from last years party really isn’t the most flattering Facebook profile photo now is it. During the next few months of slow time before...
While I write about myself all the time I must admit it’s sometimes weird to see other people writing about me, but that’s happened a couple of times lately. ******************************************************* Bridalize, one of Denver’s best wedding boutique’s, saw my post recently about ranking in the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association and made mention...

Even at Dunafon Castle it rains sometimes. At this wonderful wedding in the summer of 2010 the couple, Matt and Jenn, had just finished their ceremony and we where waiting out the worst of the rain in the celtic room at the castle. We had the couple wait in the doorway leading outside,...
If you have a special pet that you both love and is part of your family and the logistics won’t work to have this four footed loved one at the wedding, maybe including them in your engagement photos is the way to go. Just remember unless you want them in EVERY photo you’ll need...
With the wonderful weather we’ve been having lately Angie and Jason went ahead and scheduled their engagement photos and opted to wander around Red Rocks one afternoon with me. Counting down the days until I can photograph them again, but this time for the big day. Until next time, Mark View my wedding photography...
Don’t be afraid to have some fun with your engagement photos and let your sense of humor and personality shine through. The more you can do to present yourself to your photographer the better job they can do of capturing “who YOU are” which is what you really want for this isn’t it? Don’t...
