Shoot with Beckstead Day 1

I just came back from an awesome experience from the Shoot with Beckstead workshop. I never thought I could learn so much in 3 short days. I surprised myself with some of the images that came out of my camera- never knew I had it in me. I also was provided the opportunity to meet several great photographers some that live locally and others that unfortunately live very far away but nonetheless I made some great friends. Here are some pics from our first day in Georgetown. Check back tomorrow for some images from day two.

The Wedding of Lindsey & Nate

Last Saturday I shot Lindsey and Nate's wedding just outside of Genesee. It was a beautiful HOT BRIGHT Sunny day- not exactly the best for pictures but we made it work and got some awesome shots. I've worked with Nate for the last few years and have looked forward to this for a long time. He and Lindsey are perfect for each other. I'm so happy for them. Here are a few shots from the day. I love the one of the shadows cast by the girls in the sun- thanks to my assistant and brother Cody who helped me out for the day.

Shoot with Beckstead!

Hi everyone! I'll be gone for the next couple of days, I enrolled in a photographer workshop with world famous photographer David Beckstead and his wife Kassandra. This is an all day, 3 day class of shooting models and learning the art of the business. We'll be photographing on Georgetown, around Southlands mall, and doing some night shoots with video light. This should really up my game and give me lots of new ideas! I'll post some of my pics from the workshop within the next couple of days. Ta Ta for now.

Wedding at Murphy Creek

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph Piper and Travis' wedding at Murphy Creek Golf Course. Even though it was a VERY WINDY day we had a great location for pics. Their reception was full of lots of people having fun and partying all night. I met Piper and Travis through another couple whose wedding I photographed in September- Jeff and Stephanie who were also their to celebrate with them. Since Michelle has been sick and was not able to be there Matt with Artisan Photo helped me out with their wedding- thanks Matt! Here are just a few pictures I took during the day.

Second Shoot with Matt

On Saturday I had the chance to second shoot for a photographer buddy of mine Matt with Artisan Photo I haven't second shot in a long time so it was nice to relax and experiment with some cool shots. The wedding was at the coolest location! Matt and I were both saying "Look at it- it's built on a rock for crying out loud!" Here's a few shots that I took of the day.

Engagements at City Park

On Tuesday we met Jamie & Adam at City Park in Denver for their engagement session. Adam mentioned that Jamie had always wanted to have her wedding reception there but unfortunately it was already booked that day. So instead we found another way to include the park in some aspect of their wedding. We spent a lot of time around the boathouse- it is so cool! Poor Jamie was coming down with a cold but she looked great anyway. Here are some of their fun pics.

Ladonna & Ryan's E-Session

This past weekend we had a great time photographing Ladonna and Ryan's engagement session. We started at the Millennium Bridge and made our way through downtown. We lucked out with the one day it didn't rain all weekend on Saturday. Ryan seemed to enjoy making funny faces at Ladonna which made her laugh for great photos! Sometimes it takes a little help on my part to get couples to interact with one another- definitely not so with these guys, you can tell they have so much fun together. Looking forward to their wedding.

Awwwww!

Happy Memorial Weekend everyone! It's nice knowing that we can all put aside our differences and come together to honor our fallen men and women of this country. This picture has nothing to do with any of that but I thought it would make some of you say, Awwwww how cute. It did, didn't it?!

Loraye & Bill Tie The Knot!

This past Friday Loraye and Bill tied the knot. They both are such kind people and have wonderful families it was no wonder so many guests were there to share in their happiness. The ceremony started later in the evening so we were a little crunched for time with just the two of them but we got some great shots just after sunset with an awesome blue sky in the background. You may remember their dog Aspen from their engagement shoot. They wanted to make him part of their big day as well so he participated as a "groom dog". He wanted so bad to give the bride a kiss before the ceremony but dog prints don't look very nice on a white wedding dress. I wish you two the very best! God Bless.

Engagements with Angel & Collin

Sunday I had a lot of fun photographing Angel and Collin's engagement pictures. I met the two of them a little over a year ago at Collin's sister's wedding and am excited to work with them again! Collin proposed to her on the beach so they wanted a "beachy" theme for their engagement photos. One of the local reservoirs was special to them and worked out great- sooooo many good pictures. I had trouble picking out just a few to share-here is just a brief look at the day.
