Denver Athletic Club Wedding, Allison & Nick

Life can be complicated.  Families are complicated.  But when it comes down to two gorgeous people getting married we put aside our differences and come together to celebrate. And that’s exactly what Allison and Nick’s loved ones did.  They came together because Allison and Nick are in love.

Allison’s nickname as a child, given by her late father, was Allison Falls.  Well Nick’s last name is Falls.  I’d say that’s a match made in heaven.

Allison and Nick’s wedding pushed me professionally in that we had very little light to work with.  We were working against the clock. But I love how grainy and honest the photos are.  Allison and Nick are film students and their artsy personalities really shine through.  I’m so honored to be a part of such a beautiful union.

My uber talented second shooter Meghan caught these of the gents. I’m in love with this shot from Meghan…is that weird?  Seriously though it just has so much soul and personality.   ah Meg you’re awesome. Killer Holga shots.

Amazing team to work with!

Camping Couple’s Session, Hillary and John

‘When you are in love you can’t fall asleep because reality if better then your dreams.’

-Dr. Seuss

A warm late summer evening with just a hint of camp fire in the air.  Before Hillary and John got there I remember thinking, I hope they don’t regret doing such a different idea for their Couple’s Session.  To reach outside of the box can be scary, especially with someone you really don’t know all that well.  For a couple that met camping what a better way to do their Couple’s Session?  I just couldn’t pass up such a cute idea that had Hillary and John written all over it.

And the chemistry right off the bat with them was…smok’n  They just glow with love and anticipation for this next step in their lives.  Jill with Common Couture is an amazing stylist that did wonders with the items we brought.  She is the master mind behind the gorgeous set up.  Could NOT have done it without her.  And Bare Root Flora did the gorgeous flowers. So many more sessions to blog!  This time of year is always busy, but when you decide to change out the entire website in the middle of it, it’s well even more crazy.  I’d love to hear you thoughts on the changes to the website!  I’m loving the new look and feel it’s just more me and what I love to photograph.  Comments are welcome people!  :)   Explore the website and let me know what you think.

One Word…

…frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
that word is love.
- Sophocles -

I’ve done a lousy job of blogging this summer.  Every time I turn around another week has pasted.  I’ve had some completely amazing session lately though, I’m just in awe at the couples that are finding me.  The love and giddiness is so contagious, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude.  Stellar Couple’s Session yesterday with Stacey and Joe.   More to come.

Della Terra Wedding; Kate and Kevin

There names just scream cute don’t they?  I mean who wouldn’t think Kate and Kevin were meant to be when all you know about them is there names.  The more I learned though the more and more I knew without a doubt that Kate and Kevin are totally and completely meant to be together.  And oh my god the chemistry between them is….well HOT.  More then once I felt the need to pull the camera away from my eye just to catch my breath and let the steam cool off.  There are just so many photos from their wedding I want to share, it’s going to be a long post.  Kate and Kevin thank you so much for inviting me into your day of bliss!  You are sweeter then pie and I just wished you lived in Colorado. 

I think Kate has been blessed by the hair gods.  Seriously just simply stunning.

Bridesmaids in cream with red accents…oh yea GORGEOUS! I just couldn’t help myself, the shoes and just fabulous.Who can do a rubik cube in under a minute?  Oh yea Kevin can!  The day after their wedding was Kevin’s birthday, so of course there needs to be a cake just for Kevin.  And what could possibly be better then a rubik cube cake?Sometimes there’s sun at sunset and sometimes there’s sunlight from heaven.  We lucked out and had the ladder.  A perfect end for a beautiful couple.
