Wedding Year in Review – 2018-2019

2018 was so busy that before I knew it, it was 2019 and I needed a break. In taking that break I only photographed one wedding in 2019 so I’ve included it in the same Year in Review. As a photo editor, selecting a year in pictures collection is one of my most favorite projects. Not only does it give me an opportunity to reflect on my accomplishments over the past year, but it is an entirely different process than […]

An Early Morning Montrose Wedding.

Brittany’s family home was abuzz with activity when I arrived early Saturday morning. Bridesmaids in matching robes frantically brushed each others hair and applied heavy coats of eyeshadow. Siblings zipped around the house collecting cufflinks, corsages and other wedding accessories. Cell phones buzzed and beeped with messages about last-minute details . All the while Brittany smiled calmly. She was more than confident about the man she was about to marry. Caleb and Brittany met through school sports when they were […]

Outdoor wedding on the Grand Mesa

Wyatt and Shelbi wanted an outdoor wedding that was all about them. They planned a low-key affair at Powderhorn Mountain Resort on Colorado’s Grand Mesa and put all the emphasis on having a beautiful, classy ceremony. It was very important to both of them that the event was sober until they left for the evening. Every detail was meticulously planned out and came together perfectly. The ceremony, held outside on a pleasant August afternoon, was perfect. Wyatt, Shelbi and I […]

Kristal and Jonathan’s Grand Junction Garden Wedding

I first met Kristal after an epic powder day in Telluride. I was looking for photography work and I clomped into the magazine offices where she was the lead designer. Telluride being a ski town, I saw no problem showing up to a business meeting in my ski boots. Fortunately, the editor and publisher of the magazine didn’t have a problem with that either and we had a very productive meeting that let to a long-lasting professional relationship. Over the […]

Palisade Wedding Planned

The thing that I love most about engagement sessions is that I get a chance to get to know the bride and groom before the wedding day. The setting is more relaxed and we can take our time and make some great photographs together. I got just that with Lauren and Mike. They will wed this fall at The Wine Country Inn in Palisade and I got to meet them at a mountain park near their home in Denver. Oh […]

2017 Weddings in Review

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 […]

Elegant Montrose Wedding

Ryan and Sierra had a very elegant weeding in Montrose and it was full of a lot of firsts for me as a wedding photographer. While I had worked with Cobble Creek Golf Club a lot in the past for commercial and editorial work, this was my first wedding. They did a great job shuttling guests and the wedding party from the clubhouse to the ceremony location overlooking the San Juan Mountains. The reception was held at The Lark and […]

Surprise! A Church Wedding

I am always happy to help out friends and fellow photographers and that is exactly what I did when my ski school buddy Jim Cox called me the day before Nicole and Keaton’s wedding. Jim was concerned about the lighting inside the First United Methodist Church in Grand Junction and he had been asked not to use a flash during the ceremony. Now I had never been to this church but I figured that it couldn’t be any darker that […]

Western Style Wedding

From the moment I met Sara and Drew I could tell that they were a fun and relaxed couple. They exuded good energy and I new that their western-themed wedding would be a great one! I met Sara and her bridal party at Salon Envy in Ouray to take some photographs of them getting their hair done. I then followed them back to Sara’s family’s home where they, and the groomsmen were getting ready and having lunch and a few […]

Telluride Destination Wedding

Jillian and Khalid held their alpine destination wedding at The Peaks Resort in Telluride, Colo., and it was HOT! I met Jillian in her room at The Peaks and spent some time getting to know and photographing her, her bridal party and soon-to-be mother in law. She was a little nervous but the rosé seemed to help a little. Khalid was getting ready in a room down the hall and it was remarkable how confident and excited he was! They […]
