These are just a few of the images from Tim and Pegeen’s wedding at The Evergreen Lake House in Evergreen, Colorado at the end of September. Such a beautiful Colorado location for a wedding.

Here are just a few of the album page designs I’m working on for Jess & Kenyon who were married at Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort  in the southern part of Colorado in Nathrop on 9-10-11. What an awesome weekend of fun and celebration for everyone it was!

Here are some of Britany and Nate’s images from their wedding at Cielo Pines in Castle Rock a couple of weeks ago. It snowed heavily that day but the sun came out just in time for some photos! These two got engaged while snowshoeing so of course I had to bring some snowshoes for them to make them laugh. It was a perfect prop for them with all the snow. Flowers were beautiful by Parker Blooms and DJ On Demand provided the music and dancing entertainment. The food was catered by Exquisite Taste. Delicious.

Here are some of the images from Lindsey and Erik’s intimate and authentic Hawaiian wedding in Kauai near Princeville on the beach last month. The ceremony included a traditional sea salt ceremony, which was a completely new one for me, and it also included part of the vows in Hawaiian.  They didn’t blow conch shells, but if they did, I would have been there to photograph it. Hey that’s funny right?  Well we laughed about it when Erik and Lindsey viewed their collection of polished images.  Always gotta have fun at the wedding and just take in the magic - each one is so unique and each couple’s story is one of a kind. 

Zach and Regina live in Brooklyn, New York, but came back to Denver, Colorado (where Zach is from) to get married on August 4th. The Grant Humphreys Mansion is one of my favorite places to photograph weddings and these are just a few of the images to share from their beautiful wedding.

A couple of weeks ago I got the chance to take a family over to Daniel’s Park in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, for a variety of  family portraits. When we first arrived in late afternoon, we had what looked like an ominous storm coming on, but it soon cleared and we ended up with sunshine, which is typical Colorado weather (although this summer has been kinda crazier than usual it seems, even more unpredictable if that’s possible). Anyway, here are a few images from the session.

It looks like I’m making them climb on the side of a cliff here. See what we go through to get the pictures! LOL. It really wasn’t that steep.

Danielle and Nick were recently married at The Franciscan Event Center and it was just a wonderful wedding. Everything seemed to flow with a natural elegance and the wedding party, family and guests were great  fun as well.  The fresh flowers were gorgeous and designed by Terrilynn of Petals from Heaven and Complete Music  provided the DJ music and entertainment.  Here are just a few images from their special day.

I photographed Jessica and Kelvin last week at a scenic overlook park a little south of Denver for their engagement session. They will be getting married on the popular date this year of 9-10-11 at Mt. Princeton, which is south of Denver a few hours, close to Salida. I so look forward to spending time with them and their whole family. Ellie, the dog is definitely a part of the family too!
