Moments of 2011 – Cora

As promised here are my photos of the year. Number one, YAY! I actually posted when I said I would! Let’s keep this going! Number two narrowing down to just this amount took forever. I loved every shoot I had, and dang! There were a lot! Thank you to all who supported me and my business, I truly could not have done it without any of you! I have made so many new friends and that is my favorite part about what I do!

Look for us in or on the nearest tree, river, railing, roof or sunroof hold on tight because 2012 is coming in fast!

This was such a fun way to present the place cards at Becky and Dan's wedding this summer.

Cait and Ted. Heritage Square.

Katie and Seth, it rained on their first date so they figured it was good luck.

Don't we all feel this way about bubbles?

Matt and Jen playing around at Union Station before their ceremony.

Who doesn't love a leaf fight during a portrait shoot?

Erin had an awesome Maid of Honor, gotta love a woman who can wrangle a dress like that!

Beautiful Flowers from Stems

 

An out, but this is the one image that sums up the shoot. Yes, everyone needs to find their inner parking cone.

 

Late night toasts

 

Derek and Kamise, we burned calories getting to their ceremony!

 

One day I'll be shooting her wedding.

 

Right before they were pronounced.

 

Oops.

 

Yes. I do make my brides J-walk during Bridals.

 

Engagement shoot. No joke. And yes, she got the goose.

A little Photobooth fun.

 

Not sure, I’m just the one who clicked the shutter. But we love them.

 

 

My best wishes for everyone in this upcoming year! Here is to pushing harder than you ever thought

and making it to the top with a little help from your team mates.

Happy New Year!

Memories of 2011 – Isaac

It has been a busy 2011 and I apologize that my blogging fell off the map mid-year. Part of it was due to scheduling and the majority of it was due to lack of Internet access as I did not get Internet at my house until the end of November.

But I am starting the year off right with a blog post! I must say that out of everything in my business, blogging is the most difficult thing to keep up with, even though I thoroughly enjoy writing about my clients and their stories. So here are a few of our favorite moments from the year. They may not be the “best photo,” but they are those that stood out in our heads when trying to simmer down the thousands of photos to just a few fraction-of-a-seconds to sum up our year.

Here are a few of Isaac’s favorites from the year.

Stay tuned for my photos of the year in the next few days!

Downtown Pizazz

I cannot believe how fast time is flying. It has been a year ago since I was lucky enough to shoot the wedding of Heather and David. Their wedding was so special to me because not only is Heather one of my good friends from Metro, but she also has worked as my second shooter for many weddings.

These two people are amazing together. They make such a great team and David’s (aka Daaavie) calm presence blends beautifully with Heather’s … um … randomcrazyspazyinsanealwaysgoingamillionmilesaminute personality.

During our portrait hour we hopped over to Room&Board in Cherry Creek and bounced around the furniture.
Happy One Year to two amazing people. I am so honored I was there to capture your wedding day!

A Princess and a Cowboy

Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of two amazingly sweet people! I am fortunate enough to have gotten to know them over the last few years, as well as their family. Tammy and Paul are so amazing and giving to everyone around them I am honored that I got to photograph their wedding celebration last summer! And by the end of next month, they will be grandparents to two brand new babies in their family.

The amazing Taylor Family, so many great people!

The soon to be parents of Will (due SOON!)

The Proud Parents of Kathleen

Cup Cakes, Mountains and Sunshine

Today is Meghan and Alex’s one year anniversary! I can’t believe how fast this last year has flown! Megan and Alex had such a fun wedding, not to mention a spectacular bridal party! It was such a pleasure to photograph all these wonderful people.

There are some memories from this wedding that will stick with me forever, including after the reception when I was going to take the bridal couple photos with Megan and Alex because the day was so packed. Megan and I had gone to her room to do some portraits and we can’t find Alex anywhere. Austin (Maid of Honor) and Ryan (Best Man) had a hard time locating him.

Finally Meghan get’s a hold of him. She says “Where are you?” Then she says, “Why! We still have to take our photos!” and through the phone, (the entire room hears) “Oh Crap!”

Yup, after 8 hour’s in his suit, Alex was read to get on the comfy clothes. But, the girls prevailed and in 5 minutes Alex was back in his suit ready to go for the photos.

Congratulations you two! Happy Anniversary!

A drive to Romance

When I first met up Jen and Matt I knew on the spot that I wanted to capture their wedding. They had such a fun idea! They had a Rolls Royce pick them up from the Ritz-Carlton downtown and we drove up to Flagstaff mountain where a Justice of the Peace met them and conducted the ceremony.

It was an adrenaline rush for sure. Chasing a Rolls-Royce up the mountain? Thank goodness I had my trusty Second-Shooter/Stunt Driver Isaac Small there to help! Jen and Matt left the next day for Mexico!

Welcome Kathleen Marie Coven

Congratulations to the Coven’s on the arrival of their first baby girl!

I guess you had to be there …

Today Sarah and Chris are celebrating their one-year anniversary!

These two are so adorable. Just a wonderful couple that really support one another. I really enjoy Facebook as a business owner because I am able to keep in contact with my clients from the past and its always great to hear how they are doing. These two are solid.

They got married at Meadow Creek in Pine. The day was so beautiful and the meadow was lush and green. The crew was great – Something about dollar bills and Vegas (I still don’t know what exactly that was about and I am ok with it) kept them entertained the whole day. Ok, I still see comments about Dollar bills on Facebook.

Congratulations to Chris and Sarah for the first year in your life-long journey keep on dancing!!!

And the Thunder Rolled

Tara and Paul recently had their one year wedding anniversary! Congratulations to these two! Now. Their wedding was quite memorable as it started out like any June day in Colorado. It was beautiful and sunny. They had their wedding at the Crystal Rose venue in Highlands Ranch. We went outside to have group photos before hand and everything was going just to plan. Paul and his boy’s were having a blast jumping over fences, and the girls were all chatting in the dressing room.

5 minutes before the ceremony was going to start (Bridal party was getting lined up to go out side) and a HUGE – I’m talking HUGE clap of thunder erupts overhead. And then the power went out. (Like I said, typical June day in Colorado). But the generators kicked in and the staff at the Crystal Rose did a speedy turn-around and in less than 10 minutes we were ready for the ceremony – now inside. It was great, and as always, the storm passed and we were able to do more portraits outside right after the ceremony, with the beautiful “after-the-rain light.”

The night continued with an awesome  slide show of embarrassing photos, cake cutting, and some crazy dancing. What a fun time that night was! Truly an unforgettable event! Congrats you two on a year of marriage!

Rain is good luck and great lighting!

Adam and Lily had a romantic, rainy day in Evergreen for their wedding. These two are too much fun! – Seriously, when you get the whole Bridal Party out on a deck in the rain running in circles, how can you not love them?

I met these two back in March when we had their engagement session. And from the second we started shooting, I could hardly wait for their big day. These two are so comfortable together. They have amazing chemistry between them and I am so excited I got to capture that! The rain did not dampen their spirits at all, if anything, it only added to their personalities.

Congratulations you two on your marriage!
