It seems that due to the amount of weddings I had published last year on various wedding and bridal blogs and magazines that work out of a hub called Two Bright Lights in 2011 I placed in the top 5% of all of their membership and have been selected as a 2012 Editors Choice Award…

I mentioned that when I did the last “Taste of Dunafon Castle” event I had a few film cameras up there, and here’s a few picks from one of them. The camera was a Holga which is often called a “toy camera” It has almost no controls (you can barely focus it), very simple construction and…

LOVE these….. beautiful shots!
Gorgeous shots. Love the vintage look to these pictures. You did an incredible job!

I love the time of year when the final schedules are getting set for June weddings and I’m meeting with my clients, venues, and wedding planners. On a day when you get to go up and hang out at the Dunafon Castle it’s even better. There’s something about the smell of the grass, the trees…

For a “Mothers Day” post I wanted to share a few images from a wonderful maternity session I shot this week for Simone. Simone had already had a few traditional maternity sessions done but had seen some of my studio infrared work I’d done earlier this year and contacted me for a maternity session shot…

Ferrin and James photos are cool and the weather is awesome

One of the great things I love about engagement sessions is just the chance to get a feel for the couple. In this case it was obvious not only how much in love these two are, but how much they love to laugh and just enjoy themselves. It’s going to be a wonderful wedding.

Another engagement session catch up post, this time with Corrine and Christopher. Looking forward to their September wedding and working with the amazing crew over at Sky Focus Films, my favorite Denver Wedding Videographer on their wedding. Yeah, I may have done this shot a time or two before – but it’s always…

Besides the infrared work in studio one of the projects of the last few months was to further refine my black and white work. My first love in photography, and how I first learned photography, was with black and white film. I think I’ll always have a soft spot for contrasty and grainy film…
