Anna and Rob are married!

We photographed Anna and Rob's wedding on Saturday and it was amazing; we really couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Everything came together so well and the love and excitement among everyone was so evident. My sister and Anna have been friends since kindergarten so I've known her for many years and it was so cool to see her so happy. Their wedding was at Pinehurst Country Club, it was our first time shooting there and we hope to go back.

Anna called me about two days after they got engaged in October of last year and was already planning their wedding. I mentioned how wonderful it was that they started the planning so soon. And she said something that has really stuck with me, she said..."He proposed because he wanted to marry me and I said yes because I want to marry him, so there's no reason to wait."

This simple statement is really incredible because you should be excited about your wedding; in fact you should be ecstatic about your wedding. We have been so lucky to work with couples who are truly excited about their wedding and in love with each other.

Thanks Anna and Rob for allowing us to photograph your wedding day and thank you for being such an amazing example of what true love is.

Here's a few of our favorite images from the day...






This is definitely one of my favorite shots from the day.



She was getting a bit nervous right before the ceremony and her hands wouldn't stop moving.


I love watching the parents during the ceremony because they are always so full of emotion. This is Rob's mom.



This was their first private moment right after the ceremony and there was so much emotion. They were hugging each other so tightly I wasn't sure if they were going to let go.





Phoenix was quite the ham all day.




This is my sister who was one of the maids of honor looking over her toast. She found a diary entry from 1993 entitled "Anna's wedding notes," in which she had started writing her toast for the wedding. It was very cool.

LeeAnn and Eric are getting married...

I met LeeAnn and Eric at Chautauqua Park in Boulder a few days ago for their engagement pictures. If you've never been to the park I would definitely recommend going, it's tucked right up against the Flatirons and is a great place for a hike. LeeAnn and Eric couldn't have been easier to work with and we hit it off right away. I know their wedding is going to be amazing and we can't wait for it in August. Here's a few pictures...









Make sure to check back tomorrow for Anna and Rob's amazing wedding photos.

Trashing the Dress...with a bunch of photographers.

There is a great group of photographers in the Denver area and we try to get together regularly. Recently we got about 25 of us together as well as 8 different models and headed to the Denver Art Museum for an afternoon of shooting. All of our models were so kind in giving up their time to come out and pose for a bunch of photographers. We didn't completely trash Nicole's wedding dress, but we did get some awesome shots of her and her husband.

I'm not sure what job field you're in but I think anyone can benefit from forming a group of peers and getting together and sharing information and trying to make your group stronger.

A special thanks of course to all the models who came out. And to Kristy, Erin, Kevin and Jessica, R.J. and Trish for bringing the models.

Here's a few of our favorites from the day...(And to those of you that have been waiting to see pictures, I'm sorry.)















This is Kevin taking a shot of someone between the rocks. (Not a shot of just the rock.)

Congratulations Misa and Dan!

Every time we photograph a wedding we're reminded why we enjoy it so much. Misa and Dan's love for each other and the excitement and love from their family and friends made their wedding day so amazing. We had an incredible time and we are so thankful to have met Misa and Dan and become friends with them. You can click here to watch their slideshow, otherwise here's a few pictures. Enjoy...

By the way their wedding took place at the Flying Horse Country Club in Colorado Springs and the Air Force Academy Chapel. Both are incredible places for a wedding and we're so lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph there.




This is one of my favorite images from the day because this is what weddings are all about. Having your family there with you to support and love you.





This was another great moment, as everyone was watching a slideshow of Misa and Dan's life they were peeking through the door waiting to come in.
