Big news!

I have some great news! I recently found out that Jen and Gregg’s wedding will be featured in a Just Married story in the 2009 Fall/Winter issue of The Knot Colorado magazine and website!

I also received a FIRST PLACE in the most recent WPJA competition! Here’s the winning image…

JUDGES COMMENTS: Great faces for all the girls in the photo, including those reflected in the mirror. Clearly the stand-out in this category. Might have cropped a bit from the top to avoid the slight reflection of the photographer (though it’s not apparent at first).

Best of Denver voting almost over!

If you haven’t had a chance to vote for me as Best of Denver in Photography, and you think I deserve it, please follow this link by September 19th…

Laura and Alessandro’s Wedding – Perugia, Italy!

I am so excited to share Laura and Alessandro’s wedding photos! I feel like there is so much to tell about their incredible day! From the salon where the girls got their hair done, to the church of San Filippo Neri (the only authentic Baroque building in Perugia), to the private home in Solomeo where we rode Alessandro’s 1970′s Fiat (Italy’s version of the VW Beetle) and broke down next to a sunflower field, the whole day felt very “Italian” to me. It was so awesome!!!! I hope I get to go back soon! I’m even brushing up on my Italian as we speak!

I feel so lucky to have been asked to be a part of Laura and Alessandro’s wedding. Every member of their family and all of their friends were truly wonderful people! I couldn’t have asked to be more welcomed than they made me feel. I even made an appearance in their slideshow because I was asked to dance with so many of their guests! La ringrazio per un grande momento (Thank you for a great time)! Here are a bunch of my favorite photos from the day… Laura and Alessandro

MTV!!!!!

I got the most random, but cool phone call yesterday from MTV!!!  They are going to be filming a new “True Life” episode focussed on destination weddings and they asked me if I have any coming up.  Of course, the timing couldn’t be better with my upcoming trip to Italy for Laura and Alessandro’s wedding this 8-8-08, so I gave her info to them.  It’s far from a guarantee, but I just feel honored to have been asked by MTV!!!  Keep your fingers crossed for me!!  Yay!

Drumroll please… I’ve been published!

I just got some great news last week!  Not only do I have a featured article from one of my awesome weddings in Aspen last year, but I got the cover of Rocky Mountain Bride magazine!  I can’t even express my excitement!  I feel so lucky to have my job!!!!  Here’s a sneak peak at the layouts (the magazine comes out later this month)…

Jen and Bryan’s Wedding at the Botanic Gardens and Grant-Humphreys Mansion in Denver, CO

On August 18th, I got to photograph an amazing wedding at the Botanic Gardens and The Grant Humphrey’s Mansion in Denver.  The day started for Kirk (my husband and second shooter) and I when we saw Jen on her way to the hotel room to get dressed.  I introduced her to Kirk and the first thing she said to him was “I love your wife!”  I probably didn’t handle it all that well because I’m terrible with compliments, but I hope you know how special that was for me to hear Jen!  The truth is that I feel the same way!  I often confess to people that I do what I do because I love my art, but most importantly because I LOVE everyone I photograph.  It is such a thrilling experience to watch the most important day of my couples’ lives unfold before me.  I feel like I know you all so well by the time the day is through and I genuinely feel like we are friends.   Anyway, on to Jen and Bryan’s wonderful day…

I thought this was such a funny moment…

This cracked me up too…

There was a beautiful photograph of Jen’s parents in front of the unity candles that struck a cord when they were lit.  Though her parent’s weren’t there physically, we all felt their presence in spirit.

We had a little rain after the ceremony, but once it cleared up, the sky was amazing!

In case you didn’t notice, they had a great vintage Great Gatsby theme, which went perfectly with the classic Rolls Royce limo they pulled off in…

The party was awesome!  Jen, Bryan, and their guests were an absolute riot!

Everyone always seems to love when I lay in the middle of the dance floor.  These guys tried something a little different (by the way, the guy in the middle was their officiant)!

When the DJ played “Time Warp” Jen lip synched every line in full character!  It was absolutely hilarious (and really good-I was impressed)!
