wedding photographers | denver marriott south at park meadows

Jul 23, 2010

Laura and Ken have seen these already, but I’m super excited to blog their wedding because it has some of my favorite pictures from the year so far!  Ken and Laura are adorable and welcoming and so easy to work with.  They are also so photogenic that I’m pretty sure I could have shot the entire thing on my iphone and it still would have been beautiful!

Laura and Ken didn’t get lucky with the weather, but they had the best approach to it.  They decided to do just a couple of posed shots at the hotel and spent the time allocated to portraits at a bar!  And while the wedding party was having a blast, we got AMAZING pictures of them.  I think it’s so cool that Laura and Ken got to make fun memories with their wedding party.  If you’re not into the staged stuff, I *HIGHLY* recommend spending portrait time doing something fun!  (And it helps if that something fun is in a location with twinkle lights!  ;) )

the eye care center | commercial shoot

Jul 23, 2010

While in Seattle this month I had the privilege of doing a commercial shoot for The Eye Care Center–home of the best optometrists in Bellevue (and probably the world)!  I’m a little biased– for the last couple of years my mom has been the office manager (she’s in the photo on the bottom left), and I’ve been going to Dr Beaulaurier since my very first pair of glasses–Fisher Price brand giant magenta frames.  Here’s a little peek at a couple of the pictures from their shoot.  Dr B designed the new fame display cases–they are completely amazing!

the pines at genesse | wedding photographers | golden, colorado

Jul 23, 2010

After battling some technical issues I am back with lots of weddings and sessions, and even some personal pictures from our trip to Seattle to post this week!

Nic and I spent our wedding anniversary this year photographing the start of Meredith and Zack’s marriage at The Pines at Genesse!  With a late June wedding date, I know that we will share an anniversary date with many of our couples (Meghan and Drew were celebrating their first anniversary that day!), and it is an honor to share it with a couple as incredible as Meredith and Zack.  They are so fun, so loving, so perfect with one another.  Their day was full of complete and total joy, which is the absolute BEST thing you can do to make your pictures amazing.  We just loved their day!!

There were a bunch of little things that made the day amazing.  I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how incredible the catering was–fantastically yummy, and after dinner they set out popcorn and trail mix for snacks.  Meredith and Zack had the best candy buffet I’ve ever seen.  So much realllly good candy.  And lots of my favorites–with conversation hearts and jelly bellies you really can’t go wrong!  Meredith’s family friend offered up her house for the girls to get dressed at, and it could not have been more perfect.  I threatened to bring all our brides there!  And not only did she open up her home, she also created the best video to show at the reception that I’ve ever seen at a wedding.  It was entertaining, sincere, funny…it was like a dating website commercial!  Another favorite part of this wedding for us?  The first look.  Could Meredith be any cuter tip-toeing up to Zack?  And could his joy be any sweeter?
