Sean's Senior Session

On Sunday I photographed Sean who is a senior at Monarch. I spoke at length to his mom to find out a bit more about him, and what an interesting guy! Mom and sister Kasey came along for the session, and Kasey was great as my assistant for the session! :) Thanks, Kasey! We got some great images from the day, and here are some of my favorites.

Beautiful Twins

Last week we photographed Riley and Carson whom I have photographed since they were just little ones still inside their mom's belly! These two are too cute and it was so much fun. At one point I had to warn them if I kept laughing I wouldn't be able to get any steady shots!! Mom Stacey is so beautiful she makes it so easy to get great photos of her. I can't wait until the next session when these two are running around and we get to capture them giggling and running away from us! Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

Wedding Ceremony Transcends Language Barrier

I had the opportunity this weekend to photography Hanh and Phuc's wedding. There was a buddhist ceremony up outside of Morrison, and then the reception was held at the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. The whole day was beautiful, and Hanh changed three different times and managed to look amazing each time! Here are some of my favorite images from the day.




I believe the emotion and sacredness of a wedding ceremony transcends language barriers, and when Hanh started tearing up here during the ceremony, though I could not understand a word that was being said, the moment had me crying, too.


This is a famous calligrapher, who happened to fly in the night before from Vietnam, and who presented Hanh and Phuc with a gift of his work on their wedding day. (I wish I knew what it said!)



This image looks to me like it could have come straight out of a classic film. Phuc looks so handsome in his suit!


Congratulations, Hanh and Phuc, on your wedding! It was an honor to be part of your wedding day, and I wish you many, many years of love and happiness in the future!

Max Power

I had the opportunity tonight to photograph Jason and Tara who are expecting their first child, dubbed Max Power for now, in October. They are waiting to find out whether the little one will be a boy or a girl which I think is so great considering these days everyone wants to KNOW!! It's definitely going to be a wonderful surprise! These two are so funny and have such great senses of humor. I thought they would be totally cracking themselves, and me, up the whole time, but we managed to get serious long enough to get some beautiful images!


Did I mention these two are HUGE 'Simpsons' fans?

A castle, a carriage...a perfect wedding day

Wow! July has gone by so fast I haven't had a chance to keep my blog updated! A couple of weeks ago I photographed Jill and Scott's wedding at Dunafon Castle up outside of Morrison. It was a breathtaking location - I don't even think these images do the place justice. You really have to see it to take in the true beauty of the location.

Can I just say Jill and Scott are so much fun and I REALLY enjoyed photographing their wedding? And their vows were so sweet...I almost had a hard time listening because it became a choice between between really listening to the vows which was bringing me to tears...or focusing on my photography!

Here are a few of my favorite images from the day:

This image chokes me up every time I look at it because Jill's mom was totally teary eyed here during the moments between Jill getting ready and the ceremony starting. She looked so proud and happy and you could just feel the emotion she was feeling - it was such a beautiful 'mom' moment I had to give her a hug, too!


While we took some photos of Scott, he pulled out this flask and told me that it was a present from his new brother-in-law. It says 'Brothers 2008'. How great is that?


During Jill and her dad's carriage ride up the ceremony, they took a ride around the lake and its almost as though the geese floated by on cue.


I wonder if they realized how amazingly beautiful this setting was for a romantic ceremony. I am still amazed every time I look at these images!




These are two of my absolute favorite images from the day, so I thought I would do something a bit more special. Jill was stunning on her wedding day - you almost couldn't take your eyes off her - and I think this image captures her beauty perfectly.


I absolutely love the intimacy of this image - it is almost as though I wasn't there...just as it should be.


Jill and Scott - thanks so much for allowing us to be a part of your special day! Your laughter and fun spirits are such a bright light and I wish you both so much happiness in your future!
