This Sunday I met up with Alison and David for their engagement session in Old Town Fort Collins. It was really fun for me because it was my first all night shoot. I got to play around with the light we could find and flash. I got to experiment with a lot of techniques I’ve been excited about. Alison and David were so patient with my set ups (it took a while each time we moved)! Anyway, on to the photos!
David wanted to take this shot of him with the Bear…
They also raced on the fish…
I had the most fun last week shooting the X-Games! It felt completely surreal to be up close and personal with all of the super star athletes. I almost felt like I was breaking the law! Very cool. I got this awesome opportunity because one of my grooms, Lucas, from last winter (the wedding that was featured in Rocky Mountain Bride Magazine) is starting a new company called Sack Up Sports. It is basically a forum focussing on outdoor extreme sports and creates a network for people that want to get to know others with similar interests. It incorporates music (you get to add your favorite music to your profile), video, and photos. He is also incorporating a really cool new idea. He is traveling all over and using a helmet cam to video tape trail maps all of the world! This way you can actually see what the trails look like. It is such an ingenious idea! If you want to check it out or become a member, go here… Sack Up Sports.
I had a great time getting to know the two other guys that joined the team, Joel and Drew, too! Here are some of my favorite shots I got from the trip…
I love this shot of the church near the games…
You’ll notice some of my favorites are with other people in the shots because it shows a really cool perspective of what it was like there…
An aiplane flew about 30 feet directly over our heads. It was CRAZY! Drew got this shot…
We took a really cool portrait in the reflection of Joel’s goggles…
I think this is my all time favorite because the timing was awesome. I got the snow borader in the air right as the chair lift was passing by…
We constructed a jump at Lucas’ sister’s house (where we stayed). We considered it our ridiculous failure of the week because it never really worked right. We got a couple of cool shots though…
