I had the pleasure of photographing little Annika’s birthday party last Friday in Boulder. She turned 3 and celebrated the day with her entire extended family. We spent a majority of the time taking group photos, but the more natural candid shots were my favorite…. Happy birthday, Annika!
Katie and Geoff tied the knot last Saturday and partied hard at the Ritz Carlton downtown! What a fun couple they are…. Katie is the sweetest, most caring bride I’ve ever met. She was far more concerned that everybody else was doing well and having a good time, than she was about making this “her day”. She was also all emotions! She was so happy all day and ready to marry Geoff that the mention of his name made her eyes swell with tears. I’m so happy for this couple—they really have it going on—and are truly, madly in love.
I love the emotion in Katie and Geoff’s parents in the next three shots. They both have such great families!
We were originally going for the traditional shot of the bride and groom looking through the window of the limo, but as they were getting in, Geoff stepped on Katie’s dress, tripping them both. I love this shot so much more than the planned.
Geoff is a good foot taller than Katie…. I had to show this in a photograph and I love the way it turned out! They are so adorable!
Truly. Francine and John were so urban and edgy, that this session was like a dream shoot for me… we looked for shots in the hidden alleys, empty parking garages, and the seediest bars.
We broke the law for this shot and crossed over to the train tracks by the millenium bridge. I really liked the juxtaposition between these gorgeous yellow wildflowers with the dirty train tracks…. but I guess in the end, what I really liked, were these gorgeous yellow wildflowers! 🙂
Steamy shot!
We went in to this bar to wait for it to get darker so we could do some night shooting. I fell in love with the place !!! We ended up staying for a budweiser or two… I also snuck in a few personal shots for my own collection.
….this is one of them. This guy had such a great face and, of course I love the cigarette!
Check out this beautiful spread that I have to brag about! Jesse and Melissa’s wedding that I shot last September made it into this season’s knot’s “real weddings”. 
About a month ago I photographed Manjari and Sameer’s engagement photos. I loved the way they turned out because the colors were so vibrant…
If color is what I was looking for, then Manjari and Sameer’s wedding was their engagement shoot on crack! I was in a constant, color saturated alpha state! And of course, beyond the beautiful colors, I got to work with this beautiful couple again! Manjari took by breath away!
These two are such sweethearts and I loved being a part of this very important day. I learned a lot about Indian traditions and ceremonies—for example, the ceremony is 2 hours long and people are free to get up, walk around and drink punch. I also learned how important family is, which really tugged at my heart strings. I guess I have to say that Manjari and Sameer, and Manjari and Sameer’s wedding has been one of the highlights of my year thus far….
Indian women don’t go light on jewelry for their wedding ceremonies! I was in love with these bracelets—it made me want to play dress up again, and like a little girl, I was just staring at Manjari like she was a princess…
Classic moment of manjari’s first glimpse of her adorned daughter…
Sameer looked like a regal prince—it was strange for me to remember that his favorite band, like mine is Radiohead!
Simply stunning bride…..
I am in love with this family…. I have been working with Cleo and Jon since their wedding on New Year’s Eve back in 2003/2004 and have been so lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph their family as they “grow”. Teddy is now 2, and Rosie, just three months. Cleo called me a couple weeks ago and asked me to get some images of her little one, and some of the two of them together as a surprise for Jon for Father’s day (hopefully, he doesn’t read my blog)! I am so pleased with these images—-I already ordered an 18×24 gallery wrap of the last one for my studio. It actually brought tears to my eyes.
All I can say, is that I can’t wait to photograph Ashley and Nate’s wedding next October…. They are a riot! And it sounds like all their friends are too…. My question is, will Emmett be in the wedding party? I might as well have named this post “Emmett (and Ashley and Nate of course)”. They are totally in love with their dog, who I might add, is very lovable. It was adorable to see them play with each other –all three of them! They are a fun-loving bunch and they really showed me a good time on Sunday! Thanks you guys–you’re two cool cats (and a dog). 
Ashley and Nate have this game they play with Emmett called an “Emmett sandwich”. They love it… but I’m not so sure about Emmett! 
…Here he is–the apple of their eyes. Speaking of eyes, doesn’t Emmett look as though he has human eyes? Unbelievably cool!
