Ilse & Matthew Dwyer

Last weekend we had the honor of photographing the wedding of Ilse and Matthew Dwyer. The ceremony took place at the Lookout Chapel in Golden, Colorado. The reception was just down the road at the Crystal Rose.
Matthew met Ilse in Holland. This made for a fun cross-cultral wedding. The bride wore clogs during part of the reception, and all the Holland guests teased the couple through song (a Holland wedding tradition, as I understand it).

Basketball: Colorado College vrs. Kentucky

Last weekend I had an opportunity to photography a really exciting game, Colorado College vrs. Kentucky. The score was close throughout the match, but in the end our home team came out on top!

Although I was rooting for Colorado College, Kentucky was a fun team to watch. They really knew how to launch themselves into the air. Not that it helped them in the end, but it did make for some exciting photography moments :)

The Wedding of Katie & Joseph

Ryan and I have photographed a lot of terrific weddings, but this was one of those that really stuck out of the crowd. It’s amazing what can be accomplished when you have a bride and groom who really have their act together. Every detail was perfection, but what most sticks out in my and Ryan’s mind is the reception. The bride and groom had 5 stations, each with a professional cook at work, each a different theme. The picture of the cook was taken at one of those stations. And just to be clear, all the food was delicious!
More importantly, Katie and Joseph are some of the nicest people you will meet. Certainly all their friends and family knew it – you could truly feel the love in the room.
Here are just a few of the pictures from the event. We ended up with so many winners, I could post a lot more. But I’m afraid that would take up too much of the blog :)
But while I’m on the subject, please note the gorgeous topiary trees at the tables. These were a labor of love by the brides mother, and man did they come out perfect!

Laura & Lucas Engagement

[gallery]This was from the engagement session of Laura and Lucas, a wonderful couple from Pueblo, Colorado. We had the pleasure of photographing their wedding a couple years back. But what’s better than photographing a beautiful, appreciative couple? Photographing two! That’s right, we were contracted to photograph Laura’s brother, Matt, and his fiance Ilsa in Denver this month! We can’t think of a better compliment on our work, and are looking forward to this wedding!

Rebecca & Jared Diaz

These images were from the wedding of Rebecca and Jared Diaz in Pueblo, Colorado. The image of them in the street at night turned out to be one of my all time favorites!

Engagement Session

I always love doing engagement sessions. They are a fabulous way for Ryan and I to get to know clients before their big day. More than that – its a great way for clients to become comfortable in front of our camera, and it lets them get to know us and our methods before the pressures of walking down the isle.
Here are some beautiful engagement pictures we took at Hellen Hunt Falls back in 2008.

Baby & Mom

[gallery]Over the years, we have done many maternity and baby pictures. I was always nervous about holding babies during photography sessions. Of course, all those nerves melted away within hours of having my own baby. Good thing too, as Trey (my son) loves to be held all the time!

Here are some of my favorite baby and mom pictures from a session we did back in our studio back in 2008. A beautiful mother, who had a beautiful baby girl!
