BLOGHello! I'm a Colorado Springs wedding photographer and portrait photographer. I travel all over the country to document the important moments in people's lives. My blog showcases some of my favorite photos of my clients and adventures. I update this blog several times a week, so please visit frequently to see my latest images. Tracy and John: Engagement portraits in downtown DenverAugust 26, 2010
Yesterday I photographed the engagement portraits of Tracy and John, who are getting married later this year in Denver. Tracy is a wedding photographer, too, so it was a fun change for her to be on the other side of the camera. She and John completely lit up in each other’s arms, and I can’t wait to see them on their wedding day.

Guestbook: Carrie and PeteJuly 27, 2010
I’ve been so busy this summer that I haven’t stopped to share my recent albums. I’ve had some gorgeous books go through lately! I love this guest book from Carrie and Pete’s ranch engagement session. The book contains white space for guests to sign at the wedding — it’s a personalized and beautiful alternative to the traditional guest book. They are always a huge hit at weddings.

Adriana and Brian: Denver engagement portraitsJuly 15, 2010
Yesterday evening I met up with Adriana and Brian in Lodo for their engagement session. We scheduled the shoot so that we’d end up with some nighttime photos like this one, which of course I loved! Adriana and Brian are a playful and affectionate couple who were so easy to photograph. I can’t wait until their wedding in the mountains next month!

Colorado Springs engagement portraits: Lauren and BrettJune 17, 2010
Lauren and Brett are the owners of the Modbo art gallery in downtown Colorado Springs. They are an artistic, stylish couple — Brett is a painter and bass player, and Lauren is a classical pianist. They’ll get married later this summer, and their reception will take place at the Modbo. I can’t wait to see all the creative touches they’ll have at their wedding.

Denver engagement portraits: Jane and BenJune 11, 2010
Jane and Ben are getting married next month in Denver. We spent yesterday evening wandering around the area of Denver near Confluence Park for their engagement portraits. They are a fun, easy-going couple, and their willingness to shoot in the rain really paid off — the sun came back out with stormy blue clouds and a rainbow!

Colorado engagement portraits: Carrie and PeteMay 5, 2010
Yesterday I drove to the eastern Colorado plains to photograph Carrie and Pete at their home. They raise horses, so it was a great idea for them to include Diesel, Hondo, and many of their other adored animals in their engagement portraits. I had so much fun getting to know them and all the wonderful personalities that surround them at their ranch — horses, dogs, cats, Chuck the cow, Larry the goat, and Peanut the pony. Thank you so much, Carrie and Pete, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Engagement portraits: Stephanie and DaveApril 10, 2010
Yesterday I got together with Stephanie and Dave for their engagement session at Meadowlark Gardens, a botanical park in Vienna, Virginia. It’s such a pretty time of year in Virginia, and a refreshing change from Colorado’s lingering winter weather. Meadowlark Gardens is a beautiful location for portraits in any season — right now it’s full of dogwoods, cherry blossoms, and fresh green maple leaves. Stephanie and Dave are getting married in October at Rust Manor House in Leesburg, Virginia. I can’t wait to photograph them in Virginia’s autumn colors.

Denver engagement portraits: Emily and AndrewMarch 30, 2010
Andrew and Emily are getting married in September the mountains of Colorado near where Andrew grew up. Because their wedding photos will feature the mountains, they wanted their engagement portraits to reflect their urban lifestyle. We met in Lower Downtown Denver and spent a couple hours walking around and enjoying all the fun architecture and dramatic sunlight. Thanks for being up for anything, Emily and Andrew! I look forward to your wedding!

Colorado Springs engagement portraits: Jenna and AaronMarch 2, 2010
On Sunday I photographed Jenna and Aaron at the Siamese Twins rock formation in the Garden of the Gods. They are getting married next spring and wanted their engagement portraits to feature the beautiful landscape of their new hometown of Colorado Springs. Unfortunately Aaron will be deployed overseas later this month. It was such a pleasure for me to to take these photos for them before they have to be separated for a year. I hope the time goes by quickly, Jenna and Aaron!

Engagement portrait guest booksDecember 10, 2009
One of my favorite ways to use engagement portraits is guest signature books. I love to design custom guest books for couples that showcase their portraits. The final result is a photo album with personal notes from friends and family. Love it! What are some of the coolest ways you’ve seen people use engagement portraits?

Pikes Peak engagement portraits: Abby and LanceSeptember 30, 2009
Today I spent a gorgeous autumn afternoon at this lake with Abby and Lance and their dog and cat. Abby and Lance are veterinarians in Woodland Park who get to enjoy this view every day from their home. I was thrilled to discover that they brought their dog, CR, and kitty, Simon, along for some pictures in the forest — how perfect for two vets to be with their animals!

Karen and Jacynda: Engagement portraits in downtown DenverJune 28, 2009
Yesterday evening I met Karen and Jacynda in the riverfront area of Denver for their engagement session. After weeks of rainy photo shoots, I was thrilled with yesterday’s gorgeous sunny weather. It was the perfect day to walk around downtown with this fun couple. I really admire Karen and Jacynda for their work with abused and neglected teenagers. I used to work in an adolescent group home, so I know how challenging and meaningful their careers can be. I had a blast with them yesterday, and I’m really looking forward to their commitment ceremony later this summer!

Leslie and Brian: Engagement portraits at the Denver Center for the Performing ArtsJune 26, 2009
This has been a season of rain here in Colorado! Leslie and Brian had hoped to walk around downtown Denver for their engagement session yesterday, but a heavy rainfall sent us for cover at the Denver performing arts center. It turned out to be a great location for urban-style outdoor portraits, complete with a roof over our heads. Leslie and Brian are getting married next month in Denver, and after yesterday’s fun photo shoot, I know it’s going to be a great wedding.

Liz and Brian: Engagement portraits in Morrison and Red RocksMay 23, 2009
Liz and Brian are getting married next March in Vail. They live in Texas, so their guests are going to love the gorgeous Colorado scenery when they come for the wedding. We decided to showcase some of that scenery for their engagement session yesterday, to give their friends and families an idea of what to expect next year. We started with some photos in the cute little town of Morrison, and then we headed to nearby Red Rocks park. Thank you, Liz and Brian! I can’t wait until the wedding!

Leila and Luke: Engagement portraits in Memorial ParkMay 15, 2009
Leila and Luke have a big week coming up: next week they graduate from medical school and get married! To celebrate these milestones, they met me last night for a portrait session in Memorial Park. We walked around Prospect Lake as the sun set over the mountains. I love how these photos showcase the landscape of their Colorado home as they prepare to move out of state for their medical residencies. Congratulations, Leila and Luke! I can’t wait until the wedding next week!

Meghan and Ryan: Engagement portraits in Red Rock CanyonOctober 18, 2008
My friends Meghan and Ryan are getting married at Christmastime this year! They are planning a dreamy winter wedding in Vail, and I’m thrilled that they asked me to photograph it. Yesterday evening we met at my house and walked to Red Rock Canyon, where we went for a walk/engagement session. Since they’re friends of mine, we decided to bring my dog Ally with us. This part of the park is Ally’s favorite stomping grounds, so she gave Meghan and Ryan a tour while I took their photos.

Amanda and Eric’s guestbookOctober 10, 2008
Tonight and tomorrow I’ll be photographing the wedding of this adorable couple, Amanda and Eric. They will collect their guests’ signatures in this book of their engagement portraits. I love books like these, and they are always a huge hit with wedding guests. The book contains white space for the guests to sign as they browse the photos. I hope they will all love the book as much as I do!
