Liza & Alan!

Meet Liza and Alan - married on Sunday June 14th at the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. I was joined for the day by fellow photographer Grant Oakes. Grant is a full time photographer specializing in weddings and portraits and is an awesome photographer!

The entire day was unique, beautiful, and at times a little scary! For example, the four shots of Liza and Alan seeing each other for the first time were amidst the resounding blare of tornado sirens going off all around us! So it was sort of a "kiss & cover" moment! Check out the marquis in the first shot above - cool stuff. Click the photos for full size versions!

Liza and Alan's names and wedding date were printed inside each kippah - which also made for a very nice background for a ring shot!

Here is one of Grant's images - Fun!

Dianna & Jeremiah - Wedding Slideshow

I just finished a short slideshow for Dianna and Jeremiah's wedding (see photos posted a couple of weeks ago). Check it out here.

Kim Dao & Justin!

Most people I know get married with one ceremony. Kim and Justin were married with three! The first ceremony was in Vietname earlier this year. Then on June 6th they celebrated their vows with two more ceremonies; a traditional Vietnamese ceremony in the morning and an American cermony that evening - and I had the pleasure of experienceing both. Ethnic weddings are so much fun because they are full of rich tradition, bright colors, and TONS of family! :-) The morning ceremony was held at Kim's parent's home in Parker CO and the evening ceremony was at the Lionsgate Gatehouse in Broomfield, CO.

Kim's beauty was wrapped in no less than three dresses throughout the day and evening and let me say right now - this girl cannot take a bad photo! The reception was highlighted by karaoke and hiphop dance - very cool! Check it out and be sure to click the photos for the full size versions!

Having fun!

I'm editing Dianna and Jeremiah's wedding from a couple of weeks ago (see below) and ran across this fun image Hardy took of me as I crammed into the elevator with the guys. I say I like faces in the crowd and often wonder what goes on in people's minds... well, now you know! Click the image for the full version!

Amanda & Brian

Amanda and Brian were married on May 30th at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Denver. Wow, what a beautiful place to be married. I had the good fortune of having Autumn Burke shoot with me as a 2nd photographer. Autumn is a full time professional photographer specializing in weddings and portraits and captured some great images while lending her unique perspective to every scene. This was a trade-off shoot for a wedding I shot with Autumn last year. We had a great time! Check out the photos below and click on the photos for larger versions!

Dianna & Jeremiah - Wedding Day!

This is it - back in the saddle again! After a long winter the wedding season officially kicked off with Dianna and Jeremiah's wedding at The Broadmoor Hotel and Resort in Colorado Springs. The event was coordinated by Taylor Fry of Eat Drink & be Married and Colorado Weddings and Events. Taylor did an awesome job of putting everything together and keeping us all on time. My second photographer for the day was Hardy Klahold. Hardy is a full time professional photographer specializing in weddings and portraits and I must say it was an honor and privilege to have him along. Although Hardy and I have never shot together before, we were seamless in our transitions and everything just went so smooth. Although it rained for the majority of the day, we managed to get outside for a few shots. Click the photos for larger versions!

A big shout out to the groomsmen for their help with the umbrellas between shots! These guys earned their keep!

Finally the sun did come out for a short time right at the end of our session - and it paid off!

At the end of the evening I often try to break the couple away for a few minutes to say goodbye and get one last parting shot. Thanks Dianna and Jeremiah for including us in your wedding!

Here is a very rare shot of Hardy. Hardy is a pretty big guy, but he did a great job of staying in the background!

Our friends on the video side were Mike and Summer Novelli of Rising Moon Video. If you need a videographer, you must check out this awesome husband/wife team! Here's a run-and-gun shot of Mike in action!

Engagement Shoot
