For my last “Wedding Photography Year in Review,” I chose to focus on the lesser seen moments during weddings. This year I want to expand on that to include some of the peripheral scenes and sub-plots that surround weddings. Weddings offer the perfect opportunities to observe new friends meeting for the first time, old friends reconnecting for the first time in a long time, or non-friends hanging out together. Your wedding may be the only time in history where all […]
After the first phone call with Andy, I was excited to photograph his and Desiree’s wedding in Ouray, Colorado. I could tell that these two would be an exceptionally fun couple to spend a day with. Following their small family ceremony at The Beaumont Hotel we had some homemade cake and set out to take some wedding photos around the town of Ouray. We saw Desiree’s grandfather’s former home, the historic Ouray County Courthouse, the famed Ouray Ice Park, and […]
In compiling 2016’s “Year in Review” I wanted to take a somewhat different tack and showcase some photos that are more off-beat. I look at A LOT of wedding images and I grow tired of looking at the expected, formulaic and overly-processed images that seem to decorate the entire wedding industry. So rather than just showing off those perfect moments I’m going to mix in some out-takes, happy accidents, and just fun moments that are often seen at weddings but […]
As we were loading the gondola in Mountain Village for Sarah and Rick’s elopement and commitment ceremony I mentioned that I had never seen a bride on the bungee trampoline. She laughed it off dismissively at first but by the end of the day the bride was flying high over Telluride. So much fun!
Second chances and do-overs are not something we talk much about in the wedding industry. In the case of John and Susan, I’ll make an exception. Their wedding was a second wedding for both of them and they were such a great couple. They had a very small elopement ceremony on the Grand Staircase at the Beaumont Hotel in Ouray, Colorado (in fact it was just the two of them, the officiant and me). Afterwards I drove us all up […]
Matt and Katie wanted to elope and do something that was completely unique. The power station that sits atop Telluride’s Bridal Veil Falls is closed to the public but Matt was able to pull some strings within his company to gain access. It was freezing cold but the couple and guests were in great spirits and the view was incredible! We even did some bridal pushups!
