That's right I'm done with this old blog and on to bigger and better things. I had a few other opportunities to photograph with other photographers this past year but thought I'd finish out with this wedding with Jared Wilson of <a href="http://www.jaredwilsonphotography.com/">Jared Wilson Photography</a>. The interesting thing about this wedding was that only a couple months prior I shot the wedding of the groom's cousin (<a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/06/blog-post_11.html">Hanako & Eddie's Wedding up in Georgetown</a>). Small world! Anyway, their wedding was held at the <a href="http://www.lionsgatecenter.com/">Gatehouse at Lionsgate Center</a> way up north. Here are a few of the images I took at the wedding. Thanks Jared for the opportunity to shoot with you!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwG0Oyq_j8T-RiaYuFH_kw6rF08gtMT1t0oedIrJYGLjTu7Zt5ige4L5zNd_Djrb46uhJ87SQeM8DpfyNzQa86_0xTGKrpF5hvvt9Q3pqpFh0D3Xa4z7Jxjjl7sQtNgoKlMgcHXrEgXik9/s1600-h/Jared&Bride.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Between some awesome weddings and portrait sessions and our <a href="http://www.seniorrockstar.com">Senior Rock Star Tour</a>, we kept busy. One of my favorite things though is getting the opportunity to tag along with other photographers as a second shooter- whether it's for a wedding or a portrait session it's just fun to work with other great professionals and get to experiment a little with my photography catching a different perspective than I normally would as the main photographer- much like Michelle does for our own business. <br /><br />This past year I had the chance to work with some amazing photographers and some great friends. On three separate occasions I tagged along with Erin Cady of <a href="http://www.artandsoulphoto.com">Art & Soul Photography</a> for various weddings. Below are some of my favorites or just different images that I want to share.<br /><br />This first wedding was back in June up at <a href="http://www.aspenmountainlodge.com/">The Aspen Mountain Lodge</a>. Down the mountain was perfect weather but once we got up to the top the wind and snow started making for a very cold ceremony. The view was absolutely breathtaking though- making it all worth it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS2J6dYzC04eMiGP6XiaxdT73s0NQeDg6mXFig21-w85h_UquNvI0bqP8k7_M8vnvxETP06HKy_gRCgyCJhSYY_XcTj0bbD5jQ0nZ0QhQNS0UM0Q-psA69ZnBjSxN1b9_WFj5pS1fFu4Fv/s1600-h/Wedd1-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS2J6dYzC04eMiGP6XiaxdT73s0NQeDg6mXFig21-w85h_UquNvI0bqP8k7_M8vnvxETP06HKy_gRCgyCJhSYY_XcTj0bbD5jQ0nZ0QhQNS0UM0Q-psA69ZnBjSxN1b9_WFj5pS1fFu4Fv/s800/Wedd1-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431201825331989570" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCtX2PAU8JQgdFCDH8wrQ2GPEisIt0x3cP-rhlNGR_BRSPaGN8Zhox9I7dWBmOIUScAPtFYW2QbX3c_ci69ZCG-q5Em_3v5KpVy_ms0YCNHb_BpCFWYBRaUYECvy927jbIyszzxeUgBb_8/s1600-h/Wedd1-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCtX2PAU8JQgdFCDH8wrQ2GPEisIt0x3cP-rhlNGR_BRSPaGN8Zhox9I7dWBmOIUScAPtFYW2QbX3c_ci69ZCG-q5Em_3v5KpVy_ms0YCNHb_BpCFWYBRaUYECvy927jbIyszzxeUgBb_8/s800/Wedd1-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431201817955821586" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5sp-sCyGgLJiwm8_qiLp7NLfzNI72Xtbh8TRMobp-eRJwScsjSIoBBL_eQMypNK59qiR7eBr5Xy9tJVoq-I3FQpAAm5y6ed-XajIi-BJAF0Ui8qx_ahcejzYJxYIu5ZGdQtnvfrKQh_Z-/s1600-h/Wedd1-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5sp-sCyGgLJiwm8_qiLp7NLfzNI72Xtbh8TRMobp-eRJwScsjSIoBBL_eQMypNK59qiR7eBr5Xy9tJVoq-I3FQpAAm5y6ed-XajIi-BJAF0Ui8qx_ahcejzYJxYIu5ZGdQtnvfrKQh_Z-/s800/Wedd1-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431201817366057842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKsjdIc3Wk95hjUIWd-5ah_gbZCwGpVRFfenUkbrR3Oqmh2OlNoHP7xlncUWnMjTRXPJWSu3A8N4FJtnzH8KNmJ-D9Zpgqafjoc9GcSKh28X8HGIA4uNk5z2z1pClqxneXtkPuVaQ45TQf/s1600-h/Wedd1-4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKsjdIc3Wk95hjUIWd-5ah_gbZCwGpVRFfenUkbrR3Oqmh2OlNoHP7xlncUWnMjTRXPJWSu3A8N4FJtnzH8KNmJ-D9Zpgqafjoc9GcSKh28X8HGIA4uNk5z2z1pClqxneXtkPuVaQ45TQf/s800/Wedd1-4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431201804063690466" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVqkKDR1RDyqjZt1JfCJenxaqU0TypHONA_N4OjIQnPgYXc7qEdhT_fcofIcdsAuZEAL7U-xyedqz9BBx9iPFi7Ai54QH_XkggZxF7A0EAj6xwZxeE4PBUC_ChCG0sG8mX3eSgQ-s6PQQs/s1600-h/Wedd1-5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVqkKDR1RDyqjZt1JfCJenxaqU0TypHONA_N4OjIQnPgYXc7qEdhT_fcofIcdsAuZEAL7U-xyedqz9BBx9iPFi7Ai54QH_XkggZxF7A0EAj6xwZxeE4PBUC_ChCG0sG8mX3eSgQ-s6PQQs/s800/Wedd1-5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431201799036154354" /></a><br /><br />This next wedding was in August.

You have to meet with vendor after vendor after vendor after vendor..... you get the idea. And sometimes, things don't always work out too well- you just don't mesh with them, the pricing isn't right, the product wasn't quite what you were looking for, and you have to start your search again. It can be an exhausting process. Wouldn't it be nice if someone came up with the brilliant idea of having all those vendors and resources in one location???? Well, that day has arrived and the location is <a href="http://www.bridalizedenver.com">Bridalize</a>! <br /><br />A few months back we were approached by the wonderful ladies over at <a href="http://www.bridalizedenver.com">Bridalize Denver</a>- an awesome little boutique that was just opening up at the Village Shops at the Landmark in the Tech Center. One of our past brides had passed on our name to the girls and were wondering if we would be interested in adding our name to a short list of wedding photographers for brides to consider using for their big day. After hearing more about the shop and the services they would be providing to brides (for FREE- seriously no gimmicks it's really FREE) we were excited to participate. <br /><br />Here's how it works. You get engaged and of course tell each and every one of your friends the great news. They offer up advice and names of companies they loved working with and those they didn't for their own big day. Some of those companies may work great for you while others just don't match your style/budget etc so you need more help. Rather than spending hours searching the internet for companies that could or could not be worth your time, <a href="http://www.bridalizedenver.com">Bridalize Denver</a> is a one stop shop for all your planning. Everything from photography, to invitations, to a wedding planner, and much more- you can find it all at <a href="http://www.bridalizedenver.com">Bridalize</a>. The shop's owner, Jessica, got this amazing idea while planning her own wedding not too long ago. It's such an exciting time in your life and for many people the planning of their big day can literally suffocate the fun out of it. She spent so much time and energy planning her wedding and searching the city over for trusted vendors she decided she wanted to help other brides by taking away much of that stress and research. All the vendors in the shop came by way of referral- from past brides or through other wedding professionals. No back alley, take your money and run shops- these are trusted professionals you can count on to be there for each of your wedding needs.<br /><br />When we heard what this store was about we were so excited to participate. When I started the planning process over 7 years ago for our own wedding I would have loved to have had a resource like this available. I had several trusted companies that I worked with from referrals of friends/family that worked out wonderfully but for everything else it was up to me. And, while I loved the whole planning process I wasn't impressed with some of the vendors I found through the internet and yellow pages (yes I did say yellow pages- hey it was 7 years ago!) Our limo broke down on the way to our reception- making us an hour late which threw the entire evening off. The replacement limo they brought to pick us up had been out with a partying crowd the evening before and they didn't even bother to clean it up before bringing it to us- chicken bones and all! Then there was my wedding dress and the girls bridesmaids dresses. The shop closed down literally 2 weeks before I was to get my dress (for which I had waited almost 4-5 months for it to come in). I found out the dress I thought was a designer gown, and had paid for, was actually a knock off being sold as the designer. I was one of the fortunate few who did end up getting our dresses but there were many brides who lost their money and their dresses. It's from these experiences that I cannot recommend enough this great shop. If you or someone you know is planning their wedding please check out <a href="http://www.bridalizedenver.com">Bridalize</a>. The website is just a glimpse into what they have available at the shop- visit them at the Village Shops at the Landmark: 5370 greenwood Plaza Blvd Ste 109, Greenwood Village CO 80111. <br /><br />We went in the shop last week to take a look at everything now that they have the decor just about finished and all the vendors products to browse through. Here are some images we took of the shop while we were in there.<br /><br />Here's one of the outside of the boutique:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibFBSZVLptx85k0OAs-rwvjapOM7klSbtQfxeGH6jMGUPEheRjFvGQ_BeYmICBLHe4tn8MHb2ZoRfZTOb_ZRmOV8yhyphenhyphenra5gXmPKMlrGkZE-VEcHyh6nN1ZKRNCFf3pNV9K-QDDDObsodlS/s1600-h/Bridalize-Store-Front.jpg"><img style="display:block;

You e-mail or call me, we take time to meet, if you’re a local bride, or talk over the phone or e-mail if you are in another state or cross country. You tell me what it is that you want my services for in your wedding or special event. I listen and tell you how I can help you out, lettering styles, colors, prices, timelines, etc. We agree that this looks good and can work, we have gotten along well in our initial meeting and you say you will get back with me with a firm decision in a couple of days, if not sooner.<br /><br />A few days later I e-mail you to see how things are coming and if you have made a decision. Nothing.<br /><br />A week now goes by and I send a second e-mail asking if you can let me know if you wish to reserve space on the calendar for my services. I hear nothing.<br /><br />Now, by this time I should take a hint, but I think to myself, “What if finals have her really busy, or there’s a family issue and she’s just not been able to get time away to e-mail or call.” I also don’t want any lack of follow-up on MY part to be taken as “she doesn’t care” or laziness. Like many business owners, I am hyper-critical of myself in business situations, so I worry about everything.<br /><br />Don’t worry, I KNOW what happened. You simply changed your mind about paying the budget and not needing my services, or you found another vendor that you “clicked with”. Not a worry! I totally understand that this happens. This is business. I have competition. There are budgets. I understand. But all I am asking is this: Tell me your final decision so I can adjust my schedule accordingly. Also, by telling me WHY you chose someone else, I can adjust my business and approach, the way I present things to potential clients. It’s a learning process for me, not a personal slam. You won’t hurt my feelings. Constructive criticism is necessary to grow and learn. You don’t have to phone to tell me, just drop me a line and say you will be going with someone else and why. Just say SOMETHING and don’t worry about detailing it out. It’s not necessary. Feedback is good and necessary for the growth of my business. I guarantee you, there are hundreds of thousands of other wedding professionals that will agree with me–it just takes an e-mail to let us know the how and why you decided to book with someone else. And it doesn’t leave us wondering.<br /><br />That’s my request to all brides and grooms out there and I am certain that any wedding vendor you call on will agree that they would like to know why you chose someone else. How else can we improve if we never know what we are doing wrong?Dustyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04403960213117309045noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891871764176075435.post-34185657751833928282010-01-06T19:16:00.013-07:002010-01-13T21:46:20.057-07:00Tim & Francy Photo Booth SlideshowFor Tim and Francy's 25th Anniversary party we set up a photo booth so people could have fun taking pictures all night. We put one of our cameras on a tripod, put up some lights, and using a remote trigger people could take as many pictures of themselves as they wanted all without a photographer. Pretty cool! Here's a slideshow of the photos people took throughout the evening:<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='640' height='532' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzG2fpiIpwenI4KHfppxTTcWBJy4IvpLgfEyPLgWj8tQn7pSi__0x1MvMy9PxzLl0LaA4j8E3LzIeX0qW-cmQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Dustyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04403960213117309045noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891871764176075435.post-23404982514875555562010-01-04T19:11:00.023-07:002010-01-13T21:47:31.249-07:0025th Anniversary Celebration- Tim & FrancyA week before Christmas we had the opportunity to photograph a surprise party to celebrate Tim & Francy's 25th Wedding Anniversary. They held the party at the Green Gables Country Club and the room was absolutely gorgeous! The lighting, the flowers, everything was beautiful and perfect for a black tie affair. It was a surprise party for the guests of honor so part of the fun was in catching all of the family and guest's expressions as they anxiously awaited Tim and Francy's arrival. When they arrived and opened the doors they were greeted by all their family & friends and I loved their reaction to it all! How awesome that their family would put together something this special to celebrate their marriage! <br /><br />Between the dancing, a slideshow of Tim & Francy's old photos, Tim and his singing buddies who call themselves "4 Higher" singing a few songs, and the photo booth we set up for guests to take fun photos of themselves, it was a great evening!<br /><br />Here are some photos from the events that night. Check back for some more photo booth pictures in another post.<br /><br />Some detail shots of the location, flowers, table settings etc:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipEPnO3RhCGXDNFsFztA_l1HEcCvUsxYYKsvpMQT5ClLaMyCLrU_YhyyL2HoSbLHM2LufQNHXckWK9gOPQHosWtMgC_9LSNNd6g_8MT444tv6fBNtDESxV4QWya1hl2Fpq3arm9EXbK-e1/s1600-h/24.jpg"><img style="display:block;

It's pretty cool all you do is set up your camera with a wireless trigger on a tripod (yes my tripod is ghetto), set it to a very long exposure, then run around with either LED lights- or in our case lightsabers- and create some really cool unique pics. Thanks to Ross for setting this up! There were 4 of us guys (<a href="http://www.elegant-image.com/index2.php">Ross Bothwell</a>, <a href="http://www.tylerjonesphoto.com/index2.php">Tyler Jones</a>, <a href="http://www.revertphoto.com/">Zach Wear</a> and myself) willing to run around downtown in the middle of winter and freeze our butt's off!! This is definitely something we will do again.. but next time in the summer!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEhtfGSyCd5lkiJYKme7LVU-87bSPDSloYpqdxdqkVregYfur6OgA-d1vHdVwmUCdvsB0FobWJC3nNbnr4bKNljJX49EILuH9fQm4lolmzoFSgIYKK4odAI8PM0LHy4BDYpnJ6svnKwb6C/s1600-h/8.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We were taking the bride & groom portraits out the dock when I shot this image. It was supposed to be some nice portraits of the two of them but the dock was open to residents for fishing off of or for accessing the boats so we weren't the only ones there. While we were taking pictures this little boy fishing off the dock was wondering what was going on and was looking over at the two of them. He was close enough to the two of them I just had to snap this one with him in it. It ended up being one of my all time favorite images ever!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYAu0LiGMmQcSaCF_EQ8xEJvPwGfs3XnKKKgR9l_qLNiGIcHiR4I74oyMnHkZlsWrnsPt3G8OMYg-_Wsva6K6QW2p13CzWyE5qA1d7yZ-uVZsvK9rQfUggajPE7GkP-1sZqL7qxK8bXgUT/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYAu0LiGMmQcSaCF_EQ8xEJvPwGfs3XnKKKgR9l_qLNiGIcHiR4I74oyMnHkZlsWrnsPt3G8OMYg-_Wsva6K6QW2p13CzWyE5qA1d7yZ-uVZsvK9rQfUggajPE7GkP-1sZqL7qxK8bXgUT/s800/1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420821217552359490" /></a>Dustyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04403960213117309045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891871764176075435.post-20109537266491761472009-12-29T16:32:00.019-07:002010-01-13T22:02:46.304-07:00Day 11: 12 Days of Pictures- Favorite Wedding Moments of 2009On the 11th day of pictures my camera gave to me... favorite getting ready moments.<br /><br />I love catching those moments leading up to the wedding. Whether it's of the guys hanging out, the girls surrounding the bride trying to calm her down, or those funny moments that happen before the bride walks down the aisle. Here are two moments that I caught in the bride's room prior to the wedding that are some of my favorites!<br /><br />This one is from <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/10/brandy-bills-wedding-at-st-malos.html">Brandy & Bill's wedding</a>. Brandy is such a crack up- this picture totally brings out her personality. She was putting her earring in and her expression was priceless.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSe4ALnGvTRbRoB3rPpdxnBArTvsZsBOEQhJgao9LfD4zIFG3g9to0kBdmNdatofcrkf59VsEf4ZH7B5LbAmlzlGy3X0k-in4ZP9z5IC-eIuSXozJvCcvfE85mwG7HiNKpByOKZ3MiacKS/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSe4ALnGvTRbRoB3rPpdxnBArTvsZsBOEQhJgao9LfD4zIFG3g9to0kBdmNdatofcrkf59VsEf4ZH7B5LbAmlzlGy3X0k-in4ZP9z5IC-eIuSXozJvCcvfE85mwG7HiNKpByOKZ3MiacKS/s800/2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420817782177291106" /></a><br /><br />Almost every wedding venue I've ever shot at seems to have issues with air conditioning in the bridal suite. I guess they figure the bride would have no reason to get a little warm the day of her wedding- not like she'd have any reason to be a bit nervous or anything right? Anyway, this picture from <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/08/blog-post_11.html">Melissa & Adam's wedding</a> sums up exactly what it feels like to be stuffed in the bridal suite the day of a wedding. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtu1vIi70zHUjxO_wZ08OjKdCo5AAQv41B9W3nT4YEmCe2hopMGeWPSwKWrIaJVo7XcgxoeXKgzi6Ioqw_juuS9yfir0jO73ygO4R2jaNGY6k9Rt89wlH-QoVu4qM69PLi9cyYsqIXfl9I/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtu1vIi70zHUjxO_wZ08OjKdCo5AAQv41B9W3nT4YEmCe2hopMGeWPSwKWrIaJVo7XcgxoeXKgzi6Ioqw_juuS9yfir0jO73ygO4R2jaNGY6k9Rt89wlH-QoVu4qM69PLi9cyYsqIXfl9I/s800/1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420817778742968786" /></a>Dustyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04403960213117309045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891871764176075435.post-13837275435059083692009-12-29T16:32:00.018-07:002010-01-13T22:02:31.200-07:00Day 10: 12 Days of Pictures- Favorite Wedding Moments of 2009On the 10th day of pictures my camera gave to me... favorite "first look" moments.<br /><br />The tradition of the bride and groom not seeing each other before the wedding began back in days of arranged marriages. The bride's family hid her away from the groom and under a veil until the marriage was official for fear that the groom would take one look at his bride to be and run the other way if he didn't find her attractive.<br /><br />Today, most marriages are no longer arranged and many brides & grooms are abandoning tradition and superstition and seeing each other before the wedding. And, when they do we like to set up a "first look" where we can capture both the bride's and groom's expressions when they see each other for the first time. Here are two favorites from a couple first look moments.<br /><br />This one is from <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/10/blog-post.html">Jen & Ryan's wedding</a> this past September. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUSF4pcV2HI-jYFhwZLp_MvjxzkBjGfY4PRxGUa4qlAB_mubXg4BJCX3hab7oHGcCzkQdTm012yVNnHMlYyT7hNFQB17l3DXZELnyuBXgIN0mHhw6urQ98SWuNb7_82EQAb2Zf9Kzrf7tD/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUSF4pcV2HI-jYFhwZLp_MvjxzkBjGfY4PRxGUa4qlAB_mubXg4BJCX3hab7oHGcCzkQdTm012yVNnHMlYyT7hNFQB17l3DXZELnyuBXgIN0mHhw6urQ98SWuNb7_82EQAb2Zf9Kzrf7tD/s800/1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420811439786786274" /></a><br /><br />And this one was from <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/09/blog-post_30.html">Tammy & Greg's wedding</a> the same weekend as Jen & Ryan's.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-qKKjs7yusiY7VmV0om9EYmUmEoAdMBmIW9xGFOrZueYO_5dsUr7XKyUdYEf5s0ksQqyDLjjGG-jrgaylMs4QR8TAWyGeoL8zIDDiB1bOgnU6YvDjZ7gmx-8R_ZaLfc9VUw5321zY_7_/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-qKKjs7yusiY7VmV0om9EYmUmEoAdMBmIW9xGFOrZueYO_5dsUr7XKyUdYEf5s0ksQqyDLjjGG-jrgaylMs4QR8TAWyGeoL8zIDDiB1bOgnU6YvDjZ7gmx-8R_ZaLfc9VUw5321zY_7_/s800/2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420811436185474130" /></a>Dustyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04403960213117309045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891871764176075435.post-82968344226563491572009-12-24T23:52:00.004-07:002010-01-13T21:50:17.376-07:00Day 9: 12 Days of Pictures- Favorite Wedding Moments of 2009On the 9th day of pictures my camera gave to me... hilarious moments.<br /><br />Here are two pictures from moments this year that brought tears to my eyes from laughing.<br /><br />This one was from <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/08/blog-post.html">Alyssa & Matt's day after session</a>. They were running up out of the water onto the beach for this series of photos and while doing so Matt tripped and almost took the two of them down in the process.

Eddie had a special dance he wanted to do for his "spotlight moment" during the wedding. There were a few shocked faces in the crowd as he did a semi strip tease but mostly tears brought on by laughter. It was probably one of the funniest moments I've ever witnessed at a wedding (don't worry it was completely clean and no skin was revealed in the process).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2eSDkoeqfjDt9yiYjncWBop_2FX45uAHpPJm-213TRokqnkcOEFN8-Z6QP9BfgA0eTCzh5zwAx7zfDTo2SvGPa7iZBZu71cKf_sANcY6zcXjsj9scbuqr95IZtJuolWboZFvovSMklC0n/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2eSDkoeqfjDt9yiYjncWBop_2FX45uAHpPJm-213TRokqnkcOEFN8-Z6QP9BfgA0eTCzh5zwAx7zfDTo2SvGPa7iZBZu71cKf_sANcY6zcXjsj9scbuqr95IZtJuolWboZFvovSMklC0n/s800/2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419068671318226738" /></a>Dustyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04403960213117309045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891871764176075435.post-6955984680043617482009-12-23T18:06:00.006-07:002010-01-13T22:03:27.991-07:00Day 8: 12 Days of Pictures- Favorite Wedding Moments of 2009On the 8th day of pictures my camera gave to me... my favorite photos of the groom dipping the bride.<br /><br />Often times as a way to get couples comfortable in front of the camera I'll have them dance together. It's a great way to loosen up, makes for some great movement photos, and occasionally if people feel goofy while dancing to no music you'll get some great laughs out of it. I'll also tell them to dip the bride back sometime during their dance. While it can be a challenge to do right (and in that case makes for some great laughing moments between the bride and groom) if they pull it off it makes some awesome photos. Here are two of those moments during our time with the bride & groom. <br /><br />This image goes all the way back to the beginning of the year at <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/01/blog-post_24.html">Erin & Jared's wedding</a> taken outside of Coors Field.

These three really stood out to me though because of how different each one turned out using the light at the end of the day. <br /><br />This first one was from <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/09/blog-post_14.html">Angela & Robert's Wedding</a> at the Buell Mansion. It was right after their ceremony and I saw the way the light was coming in and had to pull the two of them over for a few shots before we lost this awesome light. I shot directly into the sun which created more of a hazy glare blowing out the background but casting a warm glow over the two of them- love it!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_p1kNmlVlP3SU5KpCV86g7tIfatdBmjt6PSB1-LTCSCnWix0uW4A_lzJHNbjRYB8RK4jk1jl17q0b_suONqFpebiRhViMMksy171FayXtj4NCFV28IffyKvHazgZ_q_5WXvNMBdi7g2Dk/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_p1kNmlVlP3SU5KpCV86g7tIfatdBmjt6PSB1-LTCSCnWix0uW4A_lzJHNbjRYB8RK4jk1jl17q0b_suONqFpebiRhViMMksy171FayXtj4NCFV28IffyKvHazgZ_q_5WXvNMBdi7g2Dk/s800/3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418324071074115314" /></a><br /><br />This next one I took at <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/10/brandy-bills-wedding-at-st-malos.html">Brandy & Bill's Wedding</a> outside the <a href="http://www.stanleyhotel.com/">Stanley Hotel</a>. It was pretty much the exact same time of day as the photo above but I changed my angle a bit and stood Brandy & Bill close to each other to have the light glow behind them creating a completely different look.

They had a 7 pm ceremony so by the time we started photos with the two of them the sun had almost completely set except for an awesome orange glow remaining in the sky just as the last bit of light was vanishing. <a href="http://revertphoto.com/index2.php">Zach Wear of Revert Imaging</a> came along for this wedding and assisted me in setting up some off camera flash to get this image.

This particular topic could probably span across every wedding I've shot but I love this image especially. <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/07/blog-post.html">Melissa & Shelby</a> had great chemistry between them- you could really tell they're meant for each other. I love this image in particular because of both the location and how they stood leaning into each other. They were married at the <a href="http://www.crystal-rose.com/crhamp.html">Crystal Rose in Denver</a> which is located in between several office buildings- something that you may not see as photo worthy at first glance but the reflection the building created made for some beautiful images! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWAt4NFz18DEHLONrmQfW6jE9fK_cRviAhcSMBjuoCwJDhB6FA5xWYjUARCONsVPdy-TwePbBzqi8qHqjAyvL6Crd15PtTkea5WmUZGkxuBKP-2ufrfrZSTBtTbcCgEaFhavSgRFdXD-LX/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWAt4NFz18DEHLONrmQfW6jE9fK_cRviAhcSMBjuoCwJDhB6FA5xWYjUARCONsVPdy-TwePbBzqi8qHqjAyvL6Crd15PtTkea5WmUZGkxuBKP-2ufrfrZSTBtTbcCgEaFhavSgRFdXD-LX/s800/1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417949874573225810" /></a>Dustyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04403960213117309045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891871764176075435.post-17185478007724086682009-12-18T22:56:00.008-07:002010-01-13T22:05:11.931-07:00Day 3: 12 Days of Pictures- Favorite Wedding Moments of 2009Day 3: On the 3rd day of pictures my camera gave to me... the favorite first kiss.<br /><br />In July Michelle & I had an awesome opportunity to travel to Jamaica for <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/07/alyssa-matts-awesome-wedding-in-jamaica.html">Alyssa & Matt's wedding on the beach in Ocho Rios</a>.

For anyone who has met me you know that I'm kind of a goof myself- okay not kind of I really am. I love it when people let their guard down and are willing to have fun and just act a bit silly. Here are two perfect examples of that. <br /><br />This first image was from <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/08/kristie-matt-are-married.html">Kristie & Matt's wedding</a> in July. They were married at the <a href="http://arvadacenter.reachlocal.net/">Arvada Center</a> which has all sorts of sculptures inside and outside the building which made for some cool pictures. When I saw this sculpture I thought it would be funny to have the guys try to pose just like it. They obviously agreed to pose for it and I love the way the photo turned out- I was cracking up!:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgciZtv_5rfwbf5_J6peTl5xYrmXw4tB0bO73pqjJWXmtWXXRzxyMoBLzVlpAf6BgdKOPG6F906QNdCljlqr-bH8cmvO4wYC6Qymzd6Etd_6ntlZcp1-AfqQji5ea-GT_PI2SNAkNXrfoLe/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgciZtv_5rfwbf5_J6peTl5xYrmXw4tB0bO73pqjJWXmtWXXRzxyMoBLzVlpAf6BgdKOPG6F906QNdCljlqr-bH8cmvO4wYC6Qymzd6Etd_6ntlZcp1-AfqQji5ea-GT_PI2SNAkNXrfoLe/s800/2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416405539801998930" /></a><br /><br />This one was taken with Neal and the guys at <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/08/blog-post_22.html">Becky & Neal's wedding</a>. Their wedding was held right near the dock to the lake which made for an awesome backdrop for photos. This one obviously had nothing to do with the scenery though. There were a few people fishing along the dock and one of Becky's brothers suggested a photo with the guys fishing. With the guys' pasted smiles and pointing towards the water it really made for the perfect "cheesy posed" picture- I love it!:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt9_2Ef0npgN5dDuSV9bkW6CBxabczDcYnj2Zlh3F3GrPtN7Ue6FiGqvQG9iGM6MV2224Ji9-_LHDj_phFtxh-ehlfZlwFpeTT_jJl5AGCjd0NJ5Lw6Vf1Iv84jiiCmaH92wEaFvY6UuVt/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt9_2Ef0npgN5dDuSV9bkW6CBxabczDcYnj2Zlh3F3GrPtN7Ue6FiGqvQG9iGM6MV2224Ji9-_LHDj_phFtxh-ehlfZlwFpeTT_jJl5AGCjd0NJ5Lw6Vf1Iv84jiiCmaH92wEaFvY6UuVt/s800/1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416405539092470914" /></a>Dustyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04403960213117309045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891871764176075435.post-38938049121940054002009-12-16T18:41:00.008-07:002010-01-13T22:05:54.444-07:00Day 1: 12 Days of Pictures- Favorite Wedding Moments of 2009Last year we thought it would be fun to post 12 days of pictures as a year in review of some of our favorite images. It was so much fun we thought we'd do it again! This time however, we thought we'd try something a bit different and choose a different theme or topic for each day. We had some awesome weddings this past year and are so grateful to each of our couple's that let us capture their big day! Check back each day for a new post.<br /><br />Day 1: On the 1st day of pictures my camera gave to me... some favorite images of Colorado weather. I figured since we are in Colorado and it's near Christmas time it's only fitting to start this series of 12 days of Pictures with images that represent our drastic changes from the Colorado weather. If you want to be a photographer in Colorado you better come prepared on a wedding day- you never know if that 60 degree heat could become snow in a matter of hours or if the 102 degrees from the summer sun could lead to an afternoon thunderstorm. <br /><br />This first image is from all the way back in January of this year at <a href="http://volkelimage.blogspot.com/2009/01/blog-post.html">Cathy & Cody's Wedding</a>. The ground may have been snow free just a few days before their wedding but it came in the day before leaving some behind for their big day. Cathy borrowed some boots to wear under her dress while we took some pictures outside but apparently they were so comfortable she left them on through the rest of the night.

Article Featured in Seattle BrideI was browsing through some websites and came across this great article written by Cody Ellerd in Seattle Bride Magazine. With tough economic times many people are resorting to having a "friend who dabbles in photography" photograph their wedding. Cody Ellerd's article points out the differences between hiring that "friend" and a professional from a personal perspective of being that "friend". Here is a link to the original article on their webpage: <a href="http://www.seattlebridemag.com/ME2/Sites/dirmod.asp?sid=32B32A214A754BC5AAD944CE142E9430&nm=&type=Publishing&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=4&id=4BFD6D878E9541A0BA4ECDFFB23704C9&SiteId=AFE19DE26FCA4C15ACE549D79FA3E8D1">Seattle Bride</a><br /><br />Issue Date: Fall/Winter 2009 <br />PHOTOGRAPHY<br />By Cody Ellerd<br /><br />Photography by Cody Ellerd (bottom photos) and John & Joseph Photography (top photos)<br /><br />I consider myself a pretty good amateur photographer. I’ve taken a couple of classes, I have a nice Nikon D60 and, as a professional travel writer, I’ve even had a few of my shots make magazine covers and pages. If you didn’t budget for a professional photographer at your wedding, I’m the friend you might call to take pictures. <br /><br />So when Seattle Bride sent me to the late-winter wedding of Vicky Wu and Chris Nicoll to shoot alongside Joey Hong of John & Joseph Photography, a local award-winning team of two brothers who have been shooting commercial, fashion and wedding photography for more than eight years, I was curious to see how well I could keep up with a seasoned pro. <br /><br />From the moment we started shooting in the bride and groom’s room at Hotel 1000, I was floored. “Vicky, look down at your shoulders…put a gentle smile on your lips. Chris, look straight at my lens—no, smile. Relax your forehead.” Joey’s attention to such minute detail went way beyond “Say cheese” and brought out the couple’s absolute best. He knew how to manipulate the room’s light and reflective surfaces in ways I never would have dreamed of, transforming what I thought was an unremarkable setting into a photo studio with endless possibilities. <br /><br />Joey commanded family portraits with a gentle control and confidence that only comes from years of experience. He had the right flashes and steadiness of hand for getting great dance photos, while I snapped shot after blurry shot in a mild panic that my precious memory space was quickly dwindling. I was giving it my best, and in a few instances it showed: an inside shot of Vicky simply glowing in the window’s natural light; a close-up kiss in the sunlight where the couple wore the sweetest smiles. But when those spontaneous moments that are here and gone in the blink of an eye happened, Joey caught them with lightning speed, while I lost many of them to improper focus or exposure. <br /><br />I now disagree more than ever with the digital-age adage that “now everyone is a photographer.” Tens of thousands of dollars in education, equipment and experience separate me from the pros. Professional photographers, like any other artists or business owners, need to spend money to make money. When you hire them, you’re helping them pay for their investments. <br /><br />“Photography is a very equipment-intensive business, and the equipment is expensive,” says Scott Squire of NonFiction Weddings, a Seattle-based photography team with 10 years of experience. To each wedding, he and his partner bring six or seven top-drawer lenses, a handful of strobes, three camera bodies, one backup and innumerable accessories. (In contrast, if my equipment had failed, my backup would have been my camera phone.) <br /><br />Staying on top of new technology in the digital age is its own challenge, one that takes a professional commitment and expense. “The rate of change [in digital media] can be stupefying,” laughs longtime Seattle-based wedding photographer Sharlane Chase. She keeps up with the flow of information at annual weeklong workshops and seminars, and it shows in her final product. <br /><br />On a side note, like all of you reading this magazine, I also happen to be planning my own wedding. My fiancé and I are on a tight budget and had planned to take a gamble and hire an amateur photographer friend. Now? We’re determined to find a way to get a pro. <br /><br />Vicky and Chris would have been pretty disappointed if I had been their only photographer. If anyone ever does ask me to take pictures at their wedding, I’ll be happy to show up with my Nikon, and I may even take the best disposable-camera shots of the whole night. I just hope someone like Joey is there, too.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdx1zLQxCEUAGKOBFTROL9P5EfRgTAoVdf2_vKfnfOBzcuQovKJK91dcp_XSMSvoyqCYKfyanWh7mZEpNUZxI1bbPMbOIYXEpTPJnCQfKPHqLWBVX-2-r4d9PN0Fcm_mDnmmimpywzrNow/s1600-h/2444.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdx1zLQxCEUAGKOBFTROL9P5EfRgTAoVdf2_vKfnfOBzcuQovKJK91dcp_XSMSvoyqCYKfyanWh7mZEpNUZxI1bbPMbOIYXEpTPJnCQfKPHqLWBVX-2-r4d9PN0Fcm_mDnmmimpywzrNow/s400/2444.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413874377200502434" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvqQCThjNxI4GKScvMebKgatOexKYQyUbyK7Xg2_z0mKTy-vt1JFCcpkrxMwsljy0vfwhTC91R-L9nAifEp7HjzNVf95pt1-X-Y6_KgRGhoSNdZ6M5K6G-h6eiRUTZgz0vQwqbBYTcTVw/s1600-h/1444444.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 235px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvqQCThjNxI4GKScvMebKgatOexKYQyUbyK7Xg2_z0mKTy-vt1JFCcpkrxMwsljy0vfwhTC91R-L9nAifEp7HjzNVf95pt1-X-Y6_KgRGhoSNdZ6M5K6G-h6eiRUTZgz0vQwqbBYTcTVw/s400/1444444.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413874369980391426" /></a> “This was such a cute moment, totally unscripted,” Ellerd remembers. “They bumped fists and it was clear it was a little habit of theirs, one that conveyed their friendship.
