Carol + Patrick {a sneak peek}

2009-08-23T19:30:00.005-06:00

Carol and Patrick's wedding was like "My Big Fat Italian Wedding". I absolutely loved it! Carol is full-blooded Italian, as is most of her family. They even had relatives fly straight from Italy to the wedding. They were married at The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in downtown Denver, and had a beautiful reception at the Mount Vernon Country Club in Golden.
The culture was running thick, the love was overwhelming, and Carol and Patrick were one of the happiest couples I've ever seen. Their bond is amazing. They have the most wonderful friends and family that support their every step together.
We had a great time guys. Thank you for letting us be a part of your celebration and treating us like one of your own.

Carol + Patrick

Carol and Patrick have some of the best chemistry I've ever seen in a couple. Seriously. They braved the sweltering 95 degree weather in downtown Denver as I dragged them all over the place. And they did it with a smile the entire time. I absolutely cannot wait for their wedding!

I've never had a more laid back couple.

Kara and Adam were married at the Rosemount Museum in Pueblo in front of their closest friends and family. It was so amazing watching them interact with each other all day. They have an easy-going, yet sincere love for one another.

I was so happy to be a part of their day. Here's a sneak peek :o)

Kara + Adam E-Session

2009-04-05T18:44:00.004-06:00

Last weekend I met Kara and Adam at Garden of the Gods for their engagement session. We were lucky... it was only 2 days after the blizzard, but we had gorgeous weather! Sun shining, blue sky...
Kara and Adam were slightly nervous when we started, but were quickly working the camera once they got comfortable! We had a great time walking around, talking, and shooting. I can't wait for their wedding! They are some very cool people :o)

It's Time

2008-12-18T10:38:00.003-07:00

So... I've decided it's time for a business facelift. A fresh, fun look for the beginning of a brand new year with new opportunities. So keep a look out... it'll be worth it! ( The first person to comment or send me an email on the new look may even get a free photo shoot ;o) )

Kevin + Jenny + Evie

2008-12-09T21:39:00.006-07:00

So Evie has to be the most expressive baby I've ever met... she had a different expression with every shot that I took within split seconds! Even though we had a bit of a smile stand-off (she smiled when I first met her and then not again until I was ready to leave), we had an amazing shoot. Kevin and Jenny had heard about me through The Independent and I was extremely excited to hear from them. They both have very similar pasts, him growing up in Ireland and her in Scotland, and they finally met in Colorado. My only regret is that I didn't know them before they got married... I would have loved to shoot their wedding! They are a beautiful, sweet couple and I had a blast with them!
