The dramatic scenery just outside Boulder is great for engagement portraits. Shannon and Per were adventurous rock climbers who went places I didn’t dare step foot. The weather was cool but we still had fun exploring the mountain site and making these fun engagement photos. I anticipated a mountain lion to come around the corner at any moment but she never did.
Shauna and Jeff had a beautiful small wedding at Wild Basin Lodge, in Rocky Mountain National Park. The wind was howling about 45 miles an hour as we photographed them outside after the wedding reception, but the light was perfect, the temperature not too bad for January in Estes Park, and Shauna and Jeff were so happy just to be in the Colorado mountains for their wedding photography it was just plain fun. Shauna’s sister, who owns Shamane’s Bakke Shoppe in Boulder, CO, made the gorgeous desserts. They tasted as good as they look. The wedding DJ, Jay Kacik, for the first time I have seen it, played the Bob the Builder song for their little boy who sang the words and danced tirelessly – as Sendak said, “let the rompus begin!”
I recently met with a couple to be their wedding photographer at St. Johns. Here are some of my favorite images taken on film from this beautiful church in Boulder, CO.
My good friend Christian and I took an amazing two day camping trip to the sand dunes in Colorado at the end of October. It is a magical place that I am looking forward to going back to this Spring. Here are a few photographs from the Sand Dunes.
It was great to be the wedding photographer for Emily and Hedi’s beautiful wedding at the Boulder Country Club. It was fun to put some nostalgic effects on some of the wedding photos and they work perfectly with her dress and parasol. Both families were so great – his from LA and hers from Iowa. I look forward to telling some more stories about them down the road. The gorgeous cake was from Shamane’s Bakery in Boulder, Colorado.
