Bridal Fashion Shoot with Becky

A few weeks ago we photographed a bridal fashion session with Becky at the Cherry Creek Reservoir. The day started out just fine until the sky looked like it was going to pour for the rest of the day and ruin the hours we'd spent at the hair salon and having her makeup done. We were glad though when only clouds stuck around and didn't bring the rain with it. Michelle came up with a great idea a while back after seeing the Taylor Swift video for Love Story. We decided it would be fun to do our trash the dress/bridal fashion sessions with a theme if people wanted to, so when Becky suggested the look of Audrey Hepburn we loved the idea. Finding the right dress for the occasion was not as easy but she had a few dresses that when matched with the hair and makeup worked great to fit right in to our 20's, 30's, 40's theme. You may remember Becky from her & Neal's wedding back in August- she's been a blast to work with and we were so glad we got to take more photos for her. I've been wanting to test out my skills at off camera lighting at night so we started the photos a little bit later in the day and finished with some really cool shots with some of the lights near the marina. Contact us if you are interested in a bridal fashion/trash the dress session- they are a lot of fun!

Alyssa & Matt's AWESOME Wedding in Ocho Rios Jamaica!!! Part 3- Day After Session

What beach wedding would be complete without a day after session- a day to take some awesome photos without worrying about the dress anymore? When Alyssa & Matt told us they were interested in a "trash the dress" session after the wedding we couldn't have been more excited for the opportunity. Not only would we get to photograph their wedding in beautiful Jamaica but would get the chance to do some really fun photos following the wedding as well. A perfect combo! So after their awesome wedding the day before we got up to start their day after session at 6:30 in the morning- yep that's right 6:30. It was the perfect time of day, nobody on the beach, nobody in the sweet infinity pool, and great morning lighting. We were so glad they were willing to wake up so early the day after their wedding for the session. However, when we woke up a little before 6:00 that morning to thunderstorms and rain we weren't sure if it was going to happen- at least not that early in the day. Thankfully the storms parted right before we headed out to meet them for the session. Alyssa had purchased a second dress just for the session so as not to ruin her actual wedding dress which made it better since that way we could get them fully in the ocean without worrying- and by the end they were both soaking wet and we had tons of great photos. I could probably make this post a mile long but I've chosen just a few to share from our session. Thanks Alyssa & Matt for giving us such an incredible opportunity to photograph your wedding and this day after session. We cannot thank you enough for bringing us along and getting the chance to get to you know and your families & friends. Enjoy!

Calling All Ladies Contest Winner Brandy!

I realize this post is long overdue but things have just been hectic around here the last few weeks so we're glad we're starting to catch up on a few things. Our Calling All Ladies Contest that we held a few months back turned out better than expected. We had a close race up to the final hours of the contest and until midnight we weren't sure who would win. In the end Brandy was declared the winner with a close second going to Kacey & Jay. Last month we set up the actual session with Brandy and decided on Castlewood Canyon as the location. Donna Kelly did the makeup and hair for Brandy and did a beautiful job. She helped us out for our first Senior Rock Star Tour last month as well and did such a great job that we had to have her help us for this event as well. When we got out to Castlewood Canyon the park ranger warned us about the mosquitos and boy was he right. By the end of the day we totaled 59 mosquito bites between the three of us- yet Brandy was such a sport through it all! We had a great time taking photos the entire afternoon and even got in the water (which I don't think helped deter the mosquitos at all). Here are just a few images we took during the session. Check back for some video footage we took of the day with my new camera. If you or someone you know is interested in a bridal fashion shoot please let us know!










I caught this one right as Brandy was getting bit by a mosquito.
