Laura and Nick ~ September 15th

Laura and Nick got married this weekend at The Pines at Genesee in Golden near Lookout Mountain. Their outdoor early evening wedding ceremony was perfect.. a couple of deer (maybe elk?) even wandered close during the ceremony!

Whenever I have a couple that wants to see each other before the ceremony, I make sure we have a chance to document that moment - as I did here with Laura and Nick. I love these shots where they first saw each other..
and during the ceremony..It was such a wonderful day - thank you so much for having me be a part of capturing it!
Congratulations and best wishes to you both!!

Courtney and John ~ engaged!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I have the most AMAZING clients!! I was thrilled when Courtney and John approached me with the concept for their e-session - they wanted to do a retro 1950's-style shoot. They wanted something fun and campy - something indicative of their backgrounds in theater. They are so hilarious - I think I giggled throughout most of the session! Here are a couple of my faves..

I had so much fun with you guys - I can't wait for your wedding in October!!

workshop!

I try to take advantage of every opportunity I get to further my education by enrolling in photography seminars and workshops... And when an amazing photographer like David Beckstead comes to town, how can I possibly say no??
A few weeks ago, 12 other photographers joined David in Denver for a 1 1/2 day shooting workshop.. on one of the hottest days all summer! Despite the heat, we were able to get amazing shots of our models. Here are a few of mine:

Peyton Grace!

I was so honored when Abbi and Cory (whose wedding I shot last fall) called to ask me to photograph their brand new baby girl! It was SO wonderful to see the two of them as doting parents.. and baby Peyton was all smiles! Here are a couple of my faves from our session..~Autumn

Megan & Jay ~ August 25

Megan and Jay had a simply stunning wedding last weekend. The ceremony was held at Lutheran Bethlehem Church in Lakewood, followed by an elegant reception at The Oxford Hotel. Megan's attention to detail was evident in all the wonderful little touches that made up the day. My favorite moment was when Jay's best man, who was unable to make it to the wedding because as an officer he was called to duty in Iraq, surprised Jay by sending a videotape of his toast to the couple. It was projected onto the large screen and an emotional moment for all..
Thank you for having me be a part of your day, and congratulations and warmest wishes to you both! To view the slideshow, click here

Paulina & Santiago ~ August 17, 2007

Paulina and Santiago had such an amazing wedding! Friends and family traveled thousands of miles to attend their traditional Mexican wedding ceremony at the Vail Interfaith Chapel, followed by a fabulous reception at the Donovan Pavillion. One of my favorite moments of the day was when Paulina and Santiago surprised everyone with their first dance song that they composed and recorded themselves! You can hear the song during the slideshow here. It was such a perfect day..
This was such a great moment - surrounded by the chaos of the dance floor, but completely oblivious to everyone else around.. I loved being a part of capturing your day ~ thank you, and congratulations!!

Elana & Chad ~ August 11

Elana and Chad had a lovely wedding up in Tabernash last weekend. With a desire to keep it simple and intimate, they tied the knot at a private home on the edge of the golf course surrounded by their closest friends and family.
Here's a shot of Grandma signing the engagement photo guest book that I custom-designed for Elana & Chad using shots from their e-session up at Red Rocks - it turned out beautifully! I had so much fun working with you both - congratulations and best wishes!
