KISS '10

2010-05-27T13:47:00.000-07:00

KISS stands for "Keep It Simple Seniors" and is a day-long workshop hosted by the Professional Photographers of Colorado. This is a fun event where they bring in amateur models to pose and we have fun honing our craft. Now that senior season is upon us, this is a great way to have fun and get fired up for making some cool images this summer. We shot around the Breckenridge Brewery in downtown Denver.

Emily and Luke's album!

2010-05-06T10:57:00.000-07:00

I just finished the first draft of Emily and Luke's wedding album. We will probably make a few changes here and there to get it just right, but I wanted to share. Each image you see here represents a full page spread, as if the book were open in front of you and the spine running right down the center. This book will measure 10x13" in a vertical orientation. Nice!

The wedding was at the Chateaux at Fox Meadows in Broomfield, CO. Great place!

I had the good fortune to be joined by my friend Randy Cupps for this wedding. Randy and I shoot together a lot and always come away with a great story of the day as told by the perspective of two photographers. Click the images for a larger view.

Lauren & Matt Evergreen Wedding!

2010-04-21T11:10:00.000-07:00

Meet Lauren and Matt, married on April 10th, 2010 at the Evergreen Lake house in Evergreen CO. Wow, what a beautiful location to be married! I am a huge fan of Log structures and plan to one day own my own log home, so I was really looking forward to photographing at this venue.

Lauren and Matt are the most easy going and laid back couple to work with and it shows in the photos! Today I received a very nice email from Lauren. She writes, "Hi Steve, Matt and I are blown away by our pictures! They are absolutely beautiful and we feel so lucky to have picked you to capture our wedding. We are so appreciative of your attention to detail and can't wait to share them withi everyone we know!"

Here are a few from their wedding. Click the images for a larger version!

Winter Park Wedding!

2010-04-02T20:15:00.000-07:00

Meet April and Gabe, married on Monday March 29th at the Devil's Thumb Ranch in Winter Park, CO. It was an intimate affair featuring only close family and friends. I shot this wedding for Brinton Studios along side Tiffany Brinton. Tiffany's husband and shooting partner, Charles, broke his foot and was laid up so they asked me to step in and help out. What an honor it was for me to represent one of Colorado's premier wedding studios! It is good to know that when life happens, help is just a phone call away. I'm sure CR will be back on his feet in no time, he's a tough guy! Click the images to see a larger version.

Cara & Kyle Engaged!

2010-03-15T22:26:00.000-07:00

Cara and Kyle will be married in September of this year. It's always fun to go out and shoot the engagement session, as it is the first time time we really get to know one another and build a great relationship for wedding day!

Sparkle & Robert

2010-03-15T22:02:00.000-07:00

Sparkle and Robert were actually married 5 years ago, but never had the beautiful ceremony and celebration they dreamed of. So on their five year anniversary, they had their wedding and shared it with their two beautiful children. I was joined on this day by my great friend Randy Cupps. Randy and I always have a great time and between us we always capture many great images. Here are just few!

Here's a fun shot of Randy - not sure exactly what's happening in this shot, but we'll go with it! :)

The project takes shape!

2010-03-15T20:38:00.000-07:00

For the past several weeks, I have been mentoring Emily for her senior project on photography. Last Saturday we had our last official shooting event; the rest is post processing and assembling her project for presentation at school. As shown in the set below, she is becoming quite the "director"! Emily is a typical teenage free spirit - sometimes hard to keep up with and a bit unpredictible. She will freely converse with total strangers one minute and break into dance the next. Often when we start shooting, she will look at me and pout "I'm stuck". After a bit of coaxing, she is snapping away, coming up with one idea after the other. Other than an occasional peak at the back of her camera, I have not seen any of her images, but that is all about to change as we begin the process of going through and picking out a group of images for her presentation.

For me, the experience has been enlightening to say the least. I sometimes only make a few images during our entire outing, but the images I do make are fun, unique, and force me to think outside the box. Here are a couple of images made possible by Emily's direction. Click the images to see a larger size!

Downtown with Emily!

2010-03-06T16:31:00.000-08:00

Today we hit the light rail and headed back down town for some fun photos to round out Emily's senior project. Emily is becoming quite a good photographer and captured some great images today! I took a few for kicks. Here are a couple with Emily, brother Anthony, and friend Jordan. They are so tough! :-) Click the images for a large size version.

More photos with Emily

2010-02-28T00:27:00.000-08:00

I'm mentoring Emily for her senior project on photography. Each week (weather permitting) we go somewhere fun to take photos. On this trip, we were joined by Emily's friends Courtney and Jordan. We had a great time and captured some fun images. Although Emily does most of the shooting, here are a few I took along the way.

Albums - the real thing!

2010-02-09T18:03:00.000-08:00

I have been completing a bunch of albums over the Winter and it occurred to me that rather than just post the design, I should show a few shots of the actual albums as they are displayed on my coffee table. These albums are very nice quality and are the very same albums I offer in my basic package. Unlike some photographers who may offer an inexpensive press printed book as their "starter" album, we start at the top and stay there. Here are a few shots of my latest samples. These books both measure 10x13"; one is oriented horizontal and the other is vertical. Imagine seeing your photos spread across a 20x13 or 10x26" spread for the first time - it's quite a site! Although we offer many stylish cover options, these two books both feature the "Crystal Glance" cover, where the cover photo is printed right into an acrylic cover. Very beautiful indeed! Click the images for larger versions. If you're planning a wedding, I recommend one of these beautiful keepsake albums. These photos may give you a glimps of the quality, but nothing beats an up close and personal viewing. Please contact me to set up a consultation.

Little Wes

2010-02-03T22:22:00.000-08:00

Today I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing little Wesley; son of Angela and James whose wedding I photographed a couple of years ago. Wesley is just over 2 weeks old and a real sweetheart. Angela and James have commissioned me to document Wesley's first year over the course of 4 portrait sessions. What fun! Click the images for to view them big.

Emily's Senior Project

2010-02-01T14:50:00.000-08:00

Last year I mentored Katlyn Buser with her senior project of wanting to learn what it might be like to become a professional phtographer. We had a ton of fun and made some cool photos. Of course she wowed the review panel and passed with flying colors.

This year I'm mentoring Katlyn's best friend Emily. Emily wants to get into modeling and was the subject of much of Katlyn's portfolio last year. So Emily asked me to be her mentor this year, also to learn photography, but her thesis is directed towards modeling from the photographer's perspective. We just had our first outing this past Saturday and it didn't take long before Emily discovered that just because you're not in front of the camera that you have have it easy! The photographer must control all aspects of the resulting image with a specific purpose in mind. It is our job to photograph our subject in their environment and through the use of light, composition, color and posing, create a compelling image that will speak to the eve
n the casual observer.

In this shot, meet Katlyn's little sister, Caylee, who was kind enough to come along as our model. Keeping in mind this is Emily's first time behind the camera and Caylee's first time in front of the camera, we only tried to cover some basics. An important lesson we learned is that sometimes a model is naturually photogenic and may require very little direction from the photographer. Here is a shot I made of Caylee as she relaxed "between takes". :-)

Sisters tough...

They said thanks! :-)

2010-01-15T13:11:00.000-08:00

People tell me thanks all the time and believe me, a simple "thank you" can go a long way. It never hurts to receive any comment that helps keep us on track. Just the other day, Julie and Zygi picked up their wedding album (click here to view their album design) and were genuinely excited to finally see their photos large, printed and bound in a quality family heirloom. What a perfect way to finish their wedding experience. Upon leaving, Julie handed me a "thank you" in the form of a hand-written card. What a nice touch from an even nicer couple. This may be the end of one chapter in our relationship, but the beginning of another, as Julie and Zygi now have a friend and photographer for life.

Erin & Kyle Album

2010-01-12T16:26:00.000-08:00

Erin and Kyle were married at the Aspen Lodge in Estes Park. The Colorado high country is the perfect setting to be married in the Autumn. Check out their album design here.

Amanda & Jon Album

2010-01-12T12:06:00.000-08:00

Amanda and Jon were married at the Red Rocks chapel on September 6th. Red Rocks is a beautiful place anytime, but add a beautiful wedding party and it becomes magic! Check out Amanda and Jon's album design here!

'09 Year in Review

2010-01-09T11:06:00.000-08:00

2009 was a challenging but rewarding year and I have much to be thankful for. I had the pleasure of photographing alongside some of Colorado's finest photographers, both in a lead and 2nd shooter role. My clients have all been wonderful to work with and all seem genuinely happy with the service I provide. As I go back through some of my favorite images from 2009, I am content in the knowledge that the past 12 months have helped me to grow as both a photographer and person. For a slideshow of my 2009 year in review, click here.

Amanda & Brian Album

2009-12-03T13:13:00.001-08:00

Hey look, an album design! Amanda and Brian were married at the Greek Orthodox Church in Denver, CO. Wow, what a beautiful place! I was joined for the day by photographers James Gritz and Autumn Burke. Between the three of us, we were able to be in literally three places at once, which we really needed at this wedding. Check out the slideshow here.

Dianna & Jeremiah Album

2009-12-03T11:59:00.000-08:00

Another album to share! Dianna and Jeremiah were married at the Broadmoor Resort and Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO. Such a beautiful place! Although it rained for most of the day, we made the most of it and managed to get out side when it mattered the most. I was joined on the day by fellow photographer Hardy Klahold. The event was coordinated by Taylor Fry of Eat Dring & Be Married. Check out the slideshow here.

Tiffany & Travis Album

2009-12-03T11:53:00.001-08:00

I've been designing albums like crazy and feel the need to share! Tiffany and Travis were married in City Park in downtown Ft. Collins, CO. The reception was held at Seton Hall. I was joined for the day by fellow photographer John Hudetz. To view Tiffany and Travis' album design, click here. Use the "back" button in your browser to return to this page.

Meg & Andy

2009-12-03T11:16:00.000-08:00

Recently I had the rare pleasure of shooting 2nd for another photographer - Grant Oaks. Grant and I traded off this year; he shot with me on Liza and Alan's wedding (see album post below) and I shot for him for Meg and Andy. I must say, not only is it a lot of fun shooting for someone else; it is challenging, rewarding, and a unique learning experience. I'm all about perspective and relevance in whatever I do. From the images I make to the approach I take, it is important that the resulting imagery is meaningful to me, my clients, and even the casual observer. Here are some of my favorite images from Meg and Andy's wedding. Keep in mind, I hardly spoke to them all day and provided very minimal direction to achieve any of these images. Yes, Grant provided lots of direction, but I tried to stay out of the way and make images that compliment the body of work. Be sure to click the images for a full screen view. To view a slideshow of these images and more, click here.

Liza & Alan - Album

2009-11-10T20:19:00.001-08:00

Another album to check out! Liza and Alan were married at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Denver. I was joined for the day by fellow photographer Grant Oakes. What a great time we had and the album design came out great! For a slideshow of the album design, click here.

Julie & Zygi - Album!

2009-11-05T11:28:00.000-08:00

I'm am full speed ahead on album design from this past year's weddings. I just finished the initial design of Julie and Zygi's album from their wedding in Steamboat Springs December 20, 2008. To view a slideshow if the album, click here.

Jen & Jordy!

2009-10-30T16:03:00.000-07:00

Meet Jen and Jordy! I photographed Jordy's brother James' wedding a couple of years ago and things came out really nice, so here I am again! The wedding was in Minnesota, which is perfect for me. Minnesota is my home state, so it was an opportunity to extend my visit and see family.

Jordy just came home from a Marine Corps deployment and wore his Dress Blues for the ceremony and changed into a tux for the rest of the day. Wow, it was sooo cold, but I have to hand it to those girls, they were toughed it out! Click the photos for larger versions.

We shot all the formals before the ceremony, so we arranged a semi-private meeting between Jen and Jordy so they could see each other for the first time.

Amanda & Jon!

2009-10-30T13:43:00.000-07:00

Meet Amanda and Jon; married at the Chapel at Red Rocks. This venue is really nice because before and after the ceremony we can run around in Red Rocks Park and capture all kinds of cool shots. Beautiful couple, awesome location, great light - no complaints here!

I was joined for the day by photographer Krista Cooley of Cooley Photography. Krista is a great photographer with a very unique and gifted eye for composition and control of light. See the end of this post for more of what I'm talking about... :-)

Photo above by Krista

This is not the most flattering photo of Krista, but I think you will understand why I shot it considering the fact that while I was making the photo above, Krista was making the photo below - wow!

Nikki & Andrew!

2009-10-30T12:41:00.000-07:00

Meet Nikki and Andrew; married at the Mile High Station in downtown Denver. Mile High Station is one of the coolest but most challenging venues I've shot. With its rich Denver history and lo-do charm, it is an ideal venue for a unique and eclectic wedding.

I was joined for the evening by Charlotte Geary or Charlotte Geary Photography. Charlotte is an awesome photographer and real sweetheart!

Photo above by Charlotte

Meet Charlotte Geary - definitely one of the coolest people I know!

John!

2009-10-30T12:08:00.000-07:00

Meet John Hudetz of Hudetz Photography. John was along to shoot with me for Tiffany and Travis' wedding below. John is a great friend and was really a big help to me with his awesome photography! Thanks John!

Tiffany & Travis

2009-10-30T11:09:00.000-07:00

Ok, so if you see snow outside your window and you look at these photos, you'll know that I'm a bit behind on my posting. So, today is the day I get caught up!

Meet Tiffany and Travis; married in Fort Collins, CO. The ceremony was in a public park and was completely beautiful in every way. The reception was at Seton Hall; a very nice venue for a wedding and/or reception! Check it out!

Kathryn, Gary, and Dylan!

2009-09-21T11:52:00.000-07:00

Meet Kathryn, Gary and Dylan. I had the privilege of photographing Kathryn and Gary's wedding in 2007. In fact, Kathryn is featured in many places on my website! Well here it is 2009 and baby makes three! We shot the session at Lake Dillon and although the weather did not cooperate the entire time, we managed to get some really nice shots.

Dylan is the coolest little cruiser I've met since my own Dylan was 6 months old. Dylan is a very happy guy... unless of course... he tips over...

Erika & Jason - Married!

2009-08-26T10:20:00.000-07:00

Erika and Jason were married at the Washington Park UMC on August 1st. This wedding was so unique and beautiful in many ways. Randy and I were like kids in a candy store! The reception was at the Brown Palace. Click the photos for larger versioins - check it out!

Dana & Blake, and Jason!

2009-08-16T09:43:00.000-07:00

Dana and Blake were married at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park on July 24th. I was joined for the day by Kevin Alexander of Quiet West Photography. Kevin was a huge help and captured some awesome images.

Dana's son Jason was a big part of the festivities and stole the show whenver possible. What a great time we had! Congratulations to Dana, Blake and Jason!

Looks like someone is showing some nerves... :-)

Here is our young budding photographer taking his first photography lesson. Judging by the photo below, perhaps the student IS the master!

Emily & Luke Wedding!

2009-08-03T09:58:00.000-07:00

It's been a busy summer and I'm behind on my posting! Here are a few shots of Emily & Luke who were married on July 19th at the Chateaux at Fox Meadows in Broomfield Colorado. The Chateaux is a great place to be married and super fun to photograph! View a slideshow of their wedding by clicking here.

I'm not the prettiest bridesmaid, but I have a nice smile. :-)

Here's a shot Randy snapped of me while making the shot below. Fun!

Liza & Alan!

2009-06-16T00:06:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-13T18:26:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-06-08T09:46:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-06-05T15:08:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-03T20:05:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-05-28T13:00:00.000-07:00

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

2009-05-13T13:02:00.000-07:00

Meet Erika and Jason! I have the privilege of shooting their wedding on August 1st and after we shot their engagement session I can hardly wait for the wedding!

Senior Model Shoot Downtown

2009-05-08T12:14:00.000-07:00

I just finished processing some photos from a recent model shoot downtown with the PPC (Professional Photographers of Colorado). There were over 60 photographers and several models for us to photograph. We broke up into groups of 6-8 photographers per model and each made several images before switching models. For a professional photographer coming into the busy season, an event like this is awesome. Not only do we "get back in the saddle", we learn from each other and have a ton of fun in the process.

For these shots, I went out side my normal comfort zone by using multiple lighting techniques and some fun poses that really came out great. Of the 300+ shots I made that day, these are my favorites.

Road trip to see Daniel

2009-04-22T13:50:00.000-07:00

Our son Daniel is in the Marine Corps and is stationed at Camp Pendleton in Southern California. We have not seen him since Christmas and miss him every day. He misses us too, but REALLY misses his car... So last weekend Cathy and I took a road trip to CA to drive his car out to him. We drove Friday and Saturday, spent the night in San Clemente and then flew back to Denver on Sunday. Although our time together was short, it was so worth the trip. We ate dinner on the pier, watched a movie, walked on the beach, and before we knew it we were back home.

More shots with Katlyn!

2009-03-20T01:13:00.001-07:00

For the past several weeks, I have been going out once a week or so with Katlyn and her friends to have some fun making photos. Kaylyn is preparing a portfolio to present as her senior project on photography and has asked me to mentor her along the way. This has been a ton of fun and let me say right now, Katlyn is not the only one learning here! Katlyn just bought a nice shiny new camera of her own, so these shots are mine. Check it out!

coloradoweddingphotographers.net

2009-03-17T13:51:00.000-07:00

I belong to a small group of photographers who have banded together to pool resources and talents for the purposes of marketing and growth. We meet once a month to network, share ideas, and grow the focus of the group. This month we launched a blog that we will all post to from time to time. Ultimately, the idea is for a perspective bride to feel confident that one of the talented photographers in this group may be a perfect fit for her wedding. Although we are all similarly priced, each of us offers a unique approach to our craft. Yesterday, we took a "team photo", which was both fun and awkward for a bunch of artists who very rarely see this side of the camera! Check out the CWP blog and see if you pick us out! :)

Tag along with Randy!

2009-03-15T19:06:00.000-07:00

I was recently privileged to tag along with my BFF Randy Cupps and his wife Michelle to shoot Rachele and Aaron's wedding. Basically, a tag along is where an extra photographer is invited to shoot, help out where needed, and basically just have fun. There is no compensation involved other than to learn from each other and further grow my skills behind the camera. Randy and Michelle have it covered as far as the images go, so anything that I shoot is pure gravy... FUN gravy! I just purchased a couple of new cameras and was itching for an opportunity to run them through their paces in a live (but uncommitted) shoot - perfect! As promised, a good time was had by all. I stayed three hours and left for home about the time they all headed for the reception. Check it out!

Randy & Michelle in action!

New Website!

2009-03-13T13:17:00.000-07:00

OK, so I finally bit the bullet and put up a new website. Unlike my previous website, this one really features images - meaningful images relative and specific to all aspects of our work. There are tons of galleries with more to come. This new site offers the flexibility and expandability to grow for a long time. The shell is simple and does not detract from the intended purpose of showcasing what I do and perhaps some of the passion behind it. I put up a bio page for the first time ever. This is a risky maneuver for the likes of me, but I a risky kind of guy... :D

Check it out here and drop me a line to let me know what you think!

Shooting with Katlyn

2009-03-02T14:56:00.000-08:00

Ok, so for the thousands who follow my blog, I know you've been anxiously awaiting a new post, so here it is! ;) In my last post, I mentioned Katlyn; a high school senior tasked with shadowing a professional photographer in order to learn and put together a portfolio for her senior project. Well, for the past few weeks, we have been busy making images! Here are a few "Katlyn in action shots", as well as some images she herself made. Check it out!

Recognize this cat? Katlyn took this photo!

Emily & Luke

2009-01-25T21:47:00.000-08:00

Last Thursday I met Emily and Luke downtown to shoot their engagement session and we had a blast. Usually I shoot these sessions on my own, but on this occasion, I was assisted by Katlyn Buser. Katlyn is a senior at ThunderRidge High School and has asked me to mentor her for her senior project which is a requirement for graduation. For her senior project, Katlyn chose to shadow a professional photographer and learn to be a better photographer herself. The project concludes with a presentation before a panel of judges at the high school, where Katlyn plans to present a portfolio of images showing her progress. Our first outing together was to photograph Emily and Luke's engagement session. Thanks to Katlyn's help with lighting, we were able to capture some super cool shots! Although Katlyn did not do any shooting this go around, I can tell she is eager to get started building her portfolio!

My first cover!

2009-01-14T12:54:00.001-08:00

Check it out, my first cover image! I rarely submit images for magazine publications so when the call came for the Colorado Wedding Guide, I just happened to be working on a wedding with some cool shots I thought might work, so I sent them over. Next thing I know, I get the call that one of the images was selected for the cover of the Winter/Spring 2009 Issue.

The Colorado Wedding Guide is an awesome resource for all your wedding planning needs and can be picked up for free at most wedding retailers, i.e. jewelers, dress and tux shops, etc.

This image is from Melanie and David's wedding October 7th of 2007. The event was coordinated by Jessica Adler of JA Special Events and was held at the Phipps Tennis Pavilion. To view Melanie and David's wedding album - CLICK HERE.

Julie & Zygi - Steamboat Springs

2008-12-25T22:26:00.000-08:00

Well, it's official; I'm are done shooting for the year. I had the disctinct pleasure of photographing Julie and Zygi's wedding in Steamboat Springs on Saturday December 20th. The wedding was held at the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel and the reception was at the Perry-Mansfield Pavilion.
I was joined by fellow photographer and friend Kevin Alexander of Quiet West Photography. Kevin is a very creative photographer and super nice guy. Although we have never worked together prior to this event, we had a great time and captured some awesome images!
The wedding was coordinated by Lindsey Grannis of One Fine Day Productions. Lindsey and her staff kept everything running smoothly all day long. Here are a few of my favorite images. For a slideshow of Julie and Zygi's wedding, click here.

Dianna & Jeremiah

2008-12-10T09:25:00.000-08:00

Dianna & Jeremiah will be married at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs on May 24 of '09 and I will have the great honer of photographing their day! We actually just met for the first time when we shot their engagement session and had a great time. Here are just a few.

Thanks for the love!

2008-10-21T11:53:00.000-07:00

I never ask for testimonials. I figure if I've done a good job, I'll hear about it. Besides, the best testimonial is the one that was simply written from the heart to express thanks. Well, last week I sent out Dani & Doug's album from their wedding we shot at The Dove House last year - and today I received this email:

"We received the package last night. STEVE! It's so great! I was so surprised to see it so soon! And, Doug's parents happened to be with us this week so we got to share it with them. It's so much bigger (and unique) than we expected! You were so right- it's just really cool. The calendar was also a special surprise! How beautiful! So yes, we received everything and you, as usual, superceded our expectations. Anyway, wow. If we can write some kind of recommendation for you, let us know. We have been so continuously impressed with your work from start to finish. You have to know how highly we think of you... We'll chat soon... Thanks for the wonderful surprise!
-Dani"

Suzanne & Blue - Wedding!

2008-10-08T22:49:00.000-07:00

Hey, remember these guys from their engagement photos a few months back? Well now they're married and I had the good fortune to be a part of it all. For the third time in as many weddings, I was joined by my bestest friend and awesome shooter Randy Cupps. Randy is quite simply a great photographer and wonderful asset to my success!
Suzanne and Blue were married at the Lakewood Country Club; what a beautiful venue for a wedding!
The wedding was planned and coordinated by Jessica Adler of JA Special Events. Jessica is a treat to work with and did an awesome job of making sure everything ran smoothly.
The flower arrangements and bouquets were provided by Sweet-Pea Flowers. Wow, there is nothing quite like fresh floral arrangements to bring out the beauty of a wedding!

Blue is a Navy Special Ops guy - they make movies about guys like him... Anyway, check out the groomsmen gifts! Arrrrggg!

Here's one of Randy's shots of the bridesmaids getting ready for the ceremony. Very cool indeed!

You can talk all you want about "capturing the moment" or "photo journalism", and as much of that style as we shoot these days, there is nothing quite like the classic beauty of a well made bridal portrait.

Hmmm, wonder where the idea for the shoes came from??

Erin & Kyle in Estes Park!

2008-10-03T12:23:00.000-07:00

Wow, there is nothing better than photographing a beautiful wedding in a beautiful location! It's always a bit dicey when planning an outdoor wedding in late September in the Colorado mountains, but when it works - it really works!

Erin and Kyle's wedding was anything but conventional. From the "bridal boots" to the "ceremony shades", this wedding is one for the books! Check it out!

I don't care who you are - that's just hot!

Bloopers! "Ok guys, looking right here, give her a sqeeze, cheek to cheek and give me a nice smile... perfect... and... DOH!"
Disclaimer: No brides or grooms were injured in the making of this photo...

Senior shoot at CU Boulder

2008-09-26T14:09:00.000-07:00

I've never shot at CU before; nice place! We had a ton of fun and captured many beautiful images in a relatively small area. The skies were dark and rain was threatening much of the time, so we had to make our own light for most of the session. That's ok, with mom's help, we pulled it off!

Jennifer & Ken's wedding

2008-09-18T15:29:00.001-07:00

Saturday, September 13th - wow, what a beautiful weekend we had for a wedding! Jennifer and Ken were married at the Aspen Lodge in Estes Park; a beautiful log structure set among a huge grove of aspens. We are shooing another wedding up there in two weeks; I can hardly wait!

The wedding day planning was coordinated by Wendee Walter of Custom Weddings of Colorado. Wendee did a fantastic job of keeping things running smoothly and was a treat to work with!

I also had the good fortune to shoot along side my very best friend Randy Cupps. Randy is an awesome photographer and we always have a blast when we work together. Here are a few of my favorites from the day! These first two were taken by Randy - nice!

The images below were taken the next morning! Every so often I have a request for a "day-after" session and this was certainly the perfect setting. We drove around in Rocky Mountain National Park and found some cool spots to make some awesome images!

MHDSA Buddy Walk

2008-09-10T16:37:00.000-07:00

For the past three years, I have volunteered my time to photograph the Mile High Down Syndrome Association Buddy Walk. The Buddy Walk is a great time and awesome fundraiser for the MHDSA. For more information on the MHDSA, click here!

Meet Marty and Bob Grant; the grandparents of Rayne Adams. Rayne now lives in Phoenix with her parents BJ Adams and Piper Grant and couldn't make it this year, but Bob and Marty gave Rayne a great showing!

Some of these teams get pretty big! This group is 60+ strong!

Laura & Ryan

2008-08-18T14:28:00.000-07:00

Laura and Ryan were married at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Englewood. The reception was at the Hyatt Regency DTC. This venue proved to be an awesome location for some fun and creative shots during the reception!

A special thanks goes out to April Dietrich, who was with me as a guest photographer for the day. April was a great help and captured some awesome images. She was also instumental in helping me set up some of the creative shots you see here. Here's a test shot of April posing as we conceptualize the image above. Once we had it figured out, we brought Laura & Ryan in for a few quick takes and sent them back off to the party.

Monica & Matt

2008-08-18T13:57:00.000-07:00

Monica and Matt were married at the The Event Center at Church Ranch; a very pretty location with lots of gardens and a great reception hall.

Check out these first three photos. Would you believe we were able to capture these totally different perspectives with the bride in the same position? Working quickly means working efficiently and the less we have to move our subjects around, the better.

Senior shoot downtown

2008-08-18T13:53:00.000-07:00

I've had a blast this summer shooting several senior photo sessions. Meet John. Although we captured many "straight up" shots, these were some of my favorites!

Jennifer & Ken

2008-07-21T20:00:00.000-07:00

Here's a few shots of Jennifer and Ken's engagement session. These guys are a ton of fun and I can't wait for their wedding in September in Estes Park. We shot the session at Elk Meadow Open Space in Evergreen. Beautiful setting for some fun and romantic photos!

I was assisted by Tom Dix of Aberdeen Photo, who did a great job helping out and holding my light. Until the day of the session, Tom and I had never met, but had conversed by email several times. Tom lives in Atlanta and was in town visiting some relatives and emailed me to see if we could connect formally. As you can see , we had a blast! Thanks Tom!

Tom in Action!

United States Marine

2008-07-12T15:09:00.000-07:00

Remember this guy? 13 weeks ago, we said goodbye to our son Daniel as he was sworn in as a member of the Armed Forces and left for the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego. Thursday we saw our new Marine for the first time and let me tell you, it was a very emotional experience. Of course I took lots of photos, but have barely had time to even look at them, let alone post to my blog. Let me just say that this young Marine has never looked so good and we are so proud of him!

Suzanne & Blue

2008-06-21T12:02:00.000-07:00

Meet Suzanne & Blue. We shot this session at Daniel's Park just North of Castle Pines. I'm sure these two have a serious side somewhere, but not on this day! Believe it or not, there was very little direction given by me to create these photos. I like it when I can just point, shoot, & enjoy the show!

Kari & Ryan

2008-06-18T15:48:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, meet Kari & Ryan - married on June 14th. The wedding was at the Historic Crags Lodge in Estes Park. I had the disctinct pleasure of inviting a very special guest photographer - Joe Keum of Studio JK. Joe and I have been trying to get together for some time and we finally pulled it off. I am excited to shoot 2nd for Joe at one of his weddings soon!

Here's Joe, directing Kari and Ryan for a cool shot he himself suggested!

Here's the resulting shot - Hot!

We hear so much these days about "photo journalism". The question is; just how much do you see that is actually captured completely in a journalistic manner - that is, undirected in any way? Let me be the first to tell you - not much! This moment between the bride and her maid of honor certainly was not planned, but we had positioned the bride in the reception hall to capture some shots of her in the room with the beautiful window light coming in. All of a sudden, her maid of honor appears and they share a spontaneous embrace - bam! Journalism? Sure!

Again - journalism? You be the judge!

I love to play with light in every way that I can to add dynamics to a shot. Like or hate it, you can't blame a guy for trying! :-)

The image below is about the 15th in a series designed to portray an environmental portrait of an excited and beautiful bride on her wedding day. My motto is, if I can get it in 15 shots or less - it's journalism! :-)

Colorado Imaging Workshops

2008-05-23T16:12:00.000-07:00

I just returned from the Imaging Workshops of Colorado, held in Breckenridge, CO. For the past 4 years, I have attended the Imaging Workshops of Colorado as part of my continuing education. Along the way, I have had the privilege of studying under some of the world's finest photographers, including Kevin Kuboda, David Ziser, and (this year) Ken Sklute. Although Ken Sklute is an excellent wedding photographer, I was delighted to learn so many wonderful things about this talented master. Ken is a "Canon Explorer of Light"; one of only a handful of photographers chosen by Canon to represent their digital cameras and related products. When he's not shooting a wedding or traveling the world speaking and teaching, you can find Ken walking the streets of Paris or hiking the mountains of China; documenting his experiences through the lens of his camera.

During this 4 day intensive workshop, we studied the source, quality and direction of the light we photograph with. We studied environmental backgrounds, elemental relationships, and compositions that are pleasing to the eye. We spent a lot of time behind our cameras, shooting the most challenging scenarios Ken could throw at us. We had a blast and in the end, our clients benefit the most!

The image below was created in a church we were able to use for a full day of lessons. Our challenge was to find and create a compelling photograph after overcoming the challenges of our environment while showcasing our subjects against the beauty of our surroundings. Although the church was indeed beautiful, it was difficult to photograph due to a strong yellow color cast coming through a large stained glass window. I was able to compensate using the custom white balance in my camera, which presented a pleasing skin tone. I then exposed for the available light to show off the rustic beauty of the church. To add drama to the shot, I fired a flash (held by my trusty assistant - Ken Sklute himself) to rim light our models from behind.
Our models (Kim & Chris) were cute because prior to our workshop, they had never met! Needless to say, we had them in some interesting and sometimes awkward "snuggle" poses, but they were good sports and and were very cooperative for our cameras!

Katy & Lenny - wedding album

2008-05-09T21:25:00.000-07:00

I like designing albums! This is a 10x10 book with each spread designed to span across the spine for a 10x20 layout. These books are produced by Graphi Studio in Italy and are very nice indeed. Check out Katy and Lenny's album design here.

Lesley & Troy

2008-04-25T13:34:00.000-07:00

Meet Lesley and Troy - married on April 12th. Super fun, super beautiful. Click here to check out a slideshow of their rehearsal dinner and wedding!

Is there life after 50?

2008-04-24T12:32:00.000-07:00

Hell yes! I turned 50 on April 5th and last weekend we celebrated with several of our friends. Thanks to David Brenowitz for snapping a few photos.

Stuuuud! :-)

To serve his Country

2008-04-15T12:54:00.000-07:00

If you have never done so, imagine what it might feel like to send your son or daughter off to the Marines. Now take those feelings and multiply them by about 100. Well, today was our day to send Daniel Aric Tinetti off to Recruit Training with the Marine Corps. Packed into a tiny ceremony room, 6 recruits and several family members listened as a commissioned officer expressed his personal encouragement to our sons. He spoke of his admiration of their courage to fight for our freedom. The recruits were then sworn in and the ceremony concluded with "Congratulations and welcome to the United States Armed Forces".

So there we were - after 20 years of raising Daniel to be the best young man we could provide to society and we've managed to boil it down to a 5 minute ceremony, a hug, and a tearful goodbye.
Over the next 13 weeks, our son will be converted into a Marine. Be that as it may, he will always be our Daniel. We are very proud of Daniel and know that he will serve his country with honor.

Hawaii!

2008-03-26T16:46:00.000-07:00

We just returned from Hawaiian "garden" island of Kauai. Wow, what a fantastic place - definitely a photographer's dream! This was likely to be our last family vacation for awhile, as our oldest son, Daniel, joined the Marines and ships off to boot camp April 14th. We had a great time going to the beach, kayaking, going to the beach, hiking, more beach, attending a luau, and we went to the beach... a couple of times... :-) Before I get back to work, I have to show off some images from this island paradise!

First up, my two studly kids; Dylan (13) on the left and Daniel (20) on the right. This was taken at the "secret falls" which is a two mile kayak paddle and one mile hike to get to. Totally worth it, but the water was cold!

The nice thing about going to Hawaii is that since it is 4 hours difference from Denver, you're up to view the sunrise, even if you're not exactly a morning person (me me me...).

So gosh, here I am, wide awake at 6am, watching a wonderful sunrise unfold before my eyes thinking, gee this would make a great pictu... bing bing bing!!! Check out some of my favorite images from our trip in a slide show here.

Erin & Matt - Album

2008-02-03T10:08:00.000-08:00

We have the opportunity to work some pretty awesome weddings; from the rustic beauty of the Colorado mountains to the charm and opulence of downtown Denver.

Erin and Matt's wedding ceremony was in downtown Denver at the Holy Ghost Church and the reception was at the Brown Palace. After the ceremony, we made time to stop off and get some cool shots at the Cheesman Park Pavilion, followed by a quick trip to the honeymoon suite at the Brown before joining the cocktail hour. From start to finish, Erin & Matt's wedding was the picture of elegance and class. I would like to share with you the story of their day. To view the entire album, click here.

Erin & Mitch Album

2008-02-02T15:20:00.000-08:00

Here is another album to view. Erin and Mitch's book is designed as a 10x13 vertical layout with each "spread" spanning across two pages. Check out the complete design by clicking here.

When it is time to design your wedding book, you pick out the images and I design. I honor all change requests until you are ready to print your perfect wedding book!

Lindsay & Charles Album

2008-02-01T08:34:00.000-08:00

I'd like to share another album design from Lindsay & Charles' wedding last summer. Check out the entire layout here.

Photographik.org

2008-01-24T12:08:00.000-08:00

I'm really excited about a relatively new and very recently redesined photo resource called Photographik. Check them out here and be sure to check out my listing on the home page, as well as in the colorado section.

Sonya & Kelly

2008-01-24T11:19:00.000-08:00

I'm still going through the images from Sonya & Kelly's wedding from last Sunday. I was assisted by my good friend and excellent shooter, Larry Winter. On this day, we both captured some great images. Every wedding we look to create something a little different; be it location, environment, lighting, or all three. Here are just a few!

On the way to the reception. Larry was driving and pulled along side so I could hang out the window to get this shot. Let's see... 60mph @ 5 degrees = wind chill of... yikes! And on top of it, now Larry wants stunt driver pay!

This is the 16th street mall in downtown Denver. Man it was cold, but as you can see by Sonya's sleeveless dress, I have nothing to complain about!

Finally - the warmth of the hotel. Larry and I collaborated to come up with this shot. I've seen too may cliche' escalator shots, but I think this one works.

OK, I know what you're thinking - but I did NOT tell this guy to drop trou... Sometimes things just happen! :-)

More Albums!

2008-01-12T22:58:00.001-08:00

Kristen and Andrew's wedding was in beautiful Breckenridge Colorado. Although the ceremony was forced inside by rain, we had a great time! This is a 10 x 13" book designed with double-page spreads. I have the entire layout designed into a slideshow. The first slide in the slideshow will be their cover image; hence the black space to the left. Check it out here!

Album Design!

2008-01-05T10:26:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year! Now that the holidays are over, I'm busy designing albums. This is the perfect time of year to do it, as we don't shoot a bunch in the winter. If you are a future bride and wondering about albums; here is how the process works: You pick the photos and I design the book. You may have as much or little involvement in the process as you wish. Some couples are more hands on than others. I've designed many books where I pick some or even all of the images. Once you've seen the initial design, you are free to request changes until we have the perfect book!

Here are three spreads from Catherine and Ryan's Wedding Book. This book is designed as a 13x10" horizontal layout. To view the entire layout design, click here.

To view my latest album designs, be sure to check back often; there will be plenty to look through in the coming weeks!

Kim & Ryan

2007-12-18T12:07:00.000-08:00

Congratulations to Kim and Ryan, who were recently engaged over the holidays.

These pics were taken at Red Rocks; a spot frequented by many photographers, including myself. The nice thing about Red Rocks in the winter is that it offers some nice color when everything else this time of year is dormant. One challenging aspect of Red Rocks is finding a unique perspective on a heavily shot area. It was cold and there was snow everywhere, but these two toughed it out and we were able to find some great shots.

Although Kim and Ryan's wedding plans (or date) have not yet been set, I hope I get to shoot their wedding! :-)

Melanie and David

2007-12-13T16:23:00.001-08:00

Here are a few shots from Melanie and David's wedding at the Phipps Tennis Pavilion. Very fun - very beautiful.

The first glance! As a photographer, it is one of my favorite moments!

Budding Photographer!

2007-12-04T15:28:00.000-08:00

I know there are a lot of wedding photographers in CO, but now I have 4-year-olds stealing my thunder! This little guy is the our bride's son and was tearing it up with the camera all day!

Ok kiddo... if you're going to be great, the first thing you have to remember is to take the lens cap off. That's right, take it from who has learned the hard way...

Baby K!

2007-10-24T22:03:00.000-07:00

Meet Baby K; the 4 month old daughter of a couple who's wedding I photographed in 2006. I don't photograph many babies but wow did we have a great time. I had even more fun processing the images, chuckling to myself over her many cute and often hilarious expressions. And her eyes - my oh my those wonderful eyes!

Here is our little rocker showing great form. Looks like Rock-n-Roll is here to stay!

Robyn & Eric

2007-10-03T11:05:00.000-07:00

I don't usually post too many "Steve in Action" pics, but this one is kinda fun. Robyn and Eric's wedding was at the Lakeshore Lodge in Estes Park. After the ceremony, we went down by the lake for some fun shots. I managed to get Robyn and Eric out on a rock right over the water. It was a balancing act for all of us, but we got some great shots!

If you have a 13 year-old brother...

2007-09-25T14:32:00.000-07:00

You might want to think twice about allowing him to take part in decorating your get-away car!

More Seniors!

2007-09-21T09:52:00.000-07:00

Here's a few shots of Jared and Kayla. Kayla is a Ballet Dancer with a "gothic" side. When set against the right background, these elements make a unique and beautiful combo! ;-) Jared is into Lacrosse and urban environments - also very cool. Check it out.

Candace!

2007-08-29T23:10:00.000-07:00

Meet Candace, a senior I photographed last week. We shot in a location that was literally crawling with photogrpahers, but I'm pretty sure we got some shots nobody else did! The roses were Candace' idea. Do YOU have a fun idea? Bring it on! :-)

Keise!

2007-08-28T10:14:00.000-07:00

I really like photographing seniors; it's like a fashion shoot! Here are some shots from Keise's senior portrait session. We found the perfect location to capture just what she was after. Check out more of Keise's photos here.

Shooting with Beckstead

2007-08-23T09:51:00.000-07:00

I just finished a two-day workshop with David Beckstead. David is a wonderful photographer with a keen ability for capturing beauty with a fashion edge . The class consisted of 12 photographers, three beautiful models, and some splendid locations! The first day was for shooting and on the second day each of us showed 20 of our favorite images while David offered his critique. Wow, there were so many awesome images by some of Denver's finest wedding photographers! I had a blast, as did we all. Check it out!

Erin & Mitch

2007-08-13T21:16:00.000-07:00

Erin and Mitch were married on August 4th and it was our distinct pleasure to follow them for the day. Mitch is a Naval Aviator and flies the F-18. Now that is cool! Of course I had to tease him that he got stuck with the "slow" plane. That's ok, he got a smokin' hot bride! :-)

Shooting with Charlotte

2007-07-24T10:39:00.000-07:00

I had the recent privilege of shooting "third" for Charlotte and Mike of Charlotte Geary Photography. Erin and Jason's wedding was at Beano's Cabin in Beaver Creek. Charlotte and I have shot together a few times now and we always have a great time. The really fun thing about shooting for someone else is I get to do whatever I want and really let the creative juices flow. I also got a few of Char and Mike in action!

Ever wonder about what the wedding ceremony would look like from the perspective of a shovel? Another great mystery solved!

Love it or hate it, you have to admit - the shot below is different... The point is; we never get any better at our craft if we only go for the safe shot. Let's face it, no reception needs to be covered by three photographers... unless one of them is having a ball playing with some "outside the box" fun stuff!

Gus!

2007-07-20T08:18:00.000-07:00

Meet Meredith and her dog Gus. I photographed Meredith and her husband Steve's wedding last year and we had a great time. I was so happy when Steve purchased a gift certificate and presented it to Meredith for Christmas to have some portraits taken with her pal Gus. Gus is a sweetie as was (mostly) complient for the camera; even though there were plenty of disctractions all around!

Elana!

2007-07-14T15:21:00.000-07:00

I don't shoot a lot of High School Seniors, but I love this style of photography. Elana wanted something different than the rest her class and I hope we were able to deliver. :-)

Katy & Lenny!

2007-07-11T17:44:00.001-07:00

It has been a busy summer! Check out Katy and Lenny's wedding. My guest photographer for the day was none other than the lovely and talented Charlotte Geary. Shooting with other pro photographers is probably the best way to learn, grow, and really push myself. I'll be shooting a wedding with Charlotte as her guest on July 21st up in Beaver Creek, so look for some cool images from that wedding.

Katy and Lenny's wedding was at the Glen Eyrie Castle in Colorado Springs. What a magical place - straight out of a fairytale!

Here's one of Charlotte's images. Charlotte has such a good eye, especially to keep up with our flower girl!

Laura & Gene

2007-07-02T08:13:00.000-07:00

We just return from Aspen last Thursday where my wife Cathy and I photographed the wedding of Laura and Gene at the Little Nell Hotel and Aspen Mountain Club. This wedding was all the things a wedding photographer could wish for; beauty, beauty, and more beauty! The people, the atmosphere, the location, the staff, just everything. It all went way too quickly, but what a memorable experience we had!

Gene and Laura spent the entire day together, including makeup!

Finally, a shot of my lovely assistant for the day - my wife Cathy. I have to give her credit for so much this day, from hauling bags and fluffing dresses, to shooting the ceremony; she was great!

Sarah & Chris - Wedding

2007-06-25T20:34:00.000-07:00

Remember these guy's engagement session from a few posts ago? Well, here's their wedding. Wow, what a grand affair. The entire party was staged on Sarah's parents property. Check it out!

The ring bearer's big moment! Will he come through?

Success!!

Erin & Matt

2007-06-25T20:25:00.001-07:00

Here are a few shots from Erin and Matt's wedding we shot on June 16th. The ceremony was at the Holy Ghost and the reception was at the Brown Palace; both downtown Denver.

Kathleen & Scott

2007-06-25T20:20:00.000-07:00

Sorry I've been so absent of late; the season is really heating up and I'm shooting tons! Here are a few images from Kathleen and Scott's wedding we shot on June 9th.

Small World

2007-06-09T23:25:00.001-07:00

The craziest thing happened at the wedding we shot today! First, we were at the Omni Interlocken Hotel in Broomfield when we ran into my good friends and fellow photographers Charlotte Geary and Mike Prichard. Charlotte and Mike are a husband/wife team and fantastic photographers! Of course I had to grab a shot of Charlotte and Mike in action shootng the guys in their group.

But wait! Later that evening at our reception, who did I run into but two more good friends and fellow photographers Teddi Maul and Paige Eden! Paige was too fast for me, but I managed to snag this shot of Teddi. Now I'm sitting up at 12:30 AM posting these shots to my blog just to say I was the first of us to do it - HA!

Sarah & Chris - Engagement

Hey everyone, meet Sarah and Chris. These two have a great story. They actually met at a concert at Red Rocks, so it seemed only fitting that we shoot their engagement session - not only at Red Rocks, but the same seats they sat in, chatting the night away completely oblivious to the concert going on around them. The "tickets" they are holding are actually their save-the-date cards made up to look like concert tickets. Cool idea! As you can see, these two are jazzed to go to that concert!

You may remember Sharon and Paul's engagement photos from a few weeks ago. We just shot their wedding last Saturday. I was assisted by my trusted 2nd photographer and good friend Larry Winter. As usual, we had a great time and captured some great stuff!
