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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Earlier this year I was asked to photograph a styled wedding at Gateway Canyons Resort outside of Grand Junction, Colo. In case you are unfamiliar with the town of Gateway, there is not much there except a gas station, amazing vistas and this top notch resort. I had a great time working with our models, Michael and Jenna, our stylists, Elite Events Grand Junction, Wild Rose Cakes, and the great staff at Gateway Canyons! Check out more weddings and engagements […]
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!
As regular attendees of the Telluride Film Festival, Alisha and Graig fell in love with the tiny mountain town. They always wanted to share the charm of Telluride with their friends and family but they had a hard time convincing them to travel to such an isolated location. That changed once they decided to hold a destination wedding over an entire weekend in June. The weekend began with a Thursday evening rehearsal dinner. Friday began with ceremony with catered hors […]
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!
