I’ve always known we play a very important role at weddings but not until now did I really realize the magnitude of importance. I’m still coming to terms with just how fast our wedding day went by. Although I have some of the best memories of my life, without the photos to show for it, I would feel like I had nothing. I’m so thankful for all the moments that Jenna & Matt captured and I’m so glad I can relive them anytime I want by simply flipping through all our beautiful images. The difficult part now is designing our wedding album!

Somehow I managed to pick just a few of my favorites to show off here on the blog. Also, a huge thank you to Jenna & Matt Walker for everything they did for us!

I told Jenna all I wanted was one good candid of my dad and now I have a handful of the best photos of my dad that I’ve ever had.

People rarely believe me when I tell them that a 120 degree summer day isn’t uncommon in the town where I grew up.  Well, it’s the truth, and let me tell you, that fact makes me enjoy my 82 degree summer days here in Colorado even more!

Last weekend we got to be a part of Chris & Tina’s wedding at Copper Mountain Ski Resort.  It was the most beautiful day and I couldn’t help but think what a “rough” job I have as I rode the ski lift to the top of the mountain. : )  Chris & Tina had one of the most emotional ceremonies that I’ve seen, they even had me crying!  I must say, it’s such an honor to be a part of such an important day in people’s lives.  I truly love my job!

Mark’s nephew, Dylan, was born three years ago with hypo-plastic left heart syndrome. For the last three years he was a little warrior, fighting with all he had to beat all the odds. Today he lost the battle but we know that he is going home to a better place. His time here changed so many lives and I know that his spirit will forever live on through his mom, dad and two brothers. This incredible little guy will be dearly, dearly missed.

Updated to add: Dylan’s mom, Melissa, founded Help-A-Heart two years ago in Dylan’s honor to assist families of children with chronic heart defects.  The foundation will continue in Dylan’s memory.  Donations can be sent to:

Help-A-Heart, 3505 Redbud Court, Ankeny, Iowa 50021

A HUGE thank you to Jenna & Matt Walker, our wedding photographers, who were gracious enough to stop by our house yesterday morning and give us all the photos they had taken of Dylan at our wedding.  These images will be treasured forever.

This is one of my favorite moments that Jenna captured.

Two weeks ago we spent the day at Meadow Creek Bed & Breakfast in Pine for Chrissy & Andy’s wedding.  We had just met Chrissy & Andy but it was obvious that these two are completely in love.  Their ceremony was so incredibly heartfelt and sincere.  It was a pleasure to be a part of their wedding.

Photo Booth Madness!

Months ago I decided that for our wedding I didn’t want any ordinary guest book. I wanted to create a book filled with fun, black and white portraits of everyone that attended. To make this work we set up a small photo booth where everyone could take pictures of themselves. It was a huge hit and we went home with 600 photos that I absolutely love! These photos will always remind me of how much fun everyone had. Here are just a few of my favorites but be sure to check out the slideshow at the bottom to see the whole show!

I thought it would be fun to share some of my self-proclaimed “road art.”  These are just a couple of the many shots I took from inside the car with our little Canon point and shoot camera.  This was my means of killing time during the long drive to Arizona.

While we were in Arizona we learned, to our surprise, that Kaia LOVES the water.  Cozmo hates the water so we were quite entertained watching Kaia fetch sticks and chase after ducks one afternoon when we went out on the boat.  We’re steadily working on catching Kaia’s photo collection up to Cozmo’s : )

I love this shot that I snagged at the last minute as we were pulling into the marina!

We’re shooting weddings at several killer locations this year but my guess is that Dan & Jessica’s is going to be my favorite. We were lucky enough to get a preview of the location when we met up with them for their engagement portrait session. Their wedding will take place on the property they live on where there are unobstructed views of Mt. Evans and not a neighbor in sight. Dan & Jessica are such a super cool couple, I can’t wait for the wedding!

Thanks to one of our lovely clients we were introduced to Carolyn who is an awesome guitarist.  She will be playing at our ceremony and I can’t wait!  Just listening to the few songs she played for us when we first met gave me the chills.

Last weekend we met up with Carolyn and her family at their home for a few freestyle portraits.
