What an amazing and insightful year 2012 was!
Here are a few images from the year – so many photos taken and so many beautiful weddings, brides, grooms and families that we were lucky to meet this year! It was hard to choose these images just in the fact that there are so many wonderful parts to a wedding – the families and friends who gather to celebrate, sometimes from thousands of miles away – the beloveds that we give our hearts, our minds and our commitments to, and let’s not forget the dancing and the food and the love! Weddings are truly amazing!
I haven’t gotten to blog about half of my weddings from this year – stay tuned, enjoy and there is more to come!
Happy 2013!
Whew! I can’t believe it – but I am done for the year! All my wonderful clients have come through before deadlines and all wedding albums have been ordered, photo shoots delivered and every wedding backed up!
I recently delivered this gorgeous wedding album and it was fun to see the pure joy on my client’s face when she looked through it, reliving and relishing those moments from her wedding day. It really is an honor to become a witness and official “recordkeeper” of these amazing days in people’s lives. The experience of coming full circle – from planning months in advance, to photographing the wedding day, editing and post-production and then starting a whole entirely different creative experience to delivery of a keepsake that will be loved for generations to come is nothing short of amazing.
After she went home and showed her husband their wedding album, I received a text saying “Thank you for meeting today! I LOVE our wedding book! You’re so incredibly talented…thank you so much for sharing your magic with us”. I’m the lucky one.
Enjoy!
I thought it would be a good idea to offer some helpful wedding photography tips to planning brides and grooms. So, here we go!
I’m a huge fan of variety – in lighting and locations! The more variety in both, the better! So, when helping a bride plan her timeline for the day, I research what time sunset will be and let her know. I suggest taking the bride and groom out of the reception to do some fun and relaxed portraits during sunset or the magic hour – which is right after sunset but before it gets completely dark.
Enjoy this beautiful sunset from a wedding in Steamboat Springs!
When I’m not on high alert photographing weddings, I like to stop, take a deep breath and look around for interesting objects. Recently I photographed three Steamboat Springs weddings in a row – that is a lot of driving! As we journeyed through Colorado, I noticed an area I really wanted to explore and made a mental note of it. The following weekend when we drove through, we allotted time to pull off for just 30 minutes so that I could do just that – explore – of course with a camera in my hand! The water was low and there were so many beautiful things to photograph! Of course, I mixed in a few random photos from Steamboat as well (who can resist horses along a fence in the countryside?).
Doing a bit of personal work really is rejuvenating, even though they are random snapshots!
Enjoy!
While in Steamboat Springs for a wedding, my second photographer and I decided to hit Strawberry Hot Springs for a leisurely soak. What luck to be soaking in such a beautiful setting when a stunning rainbow appeared – and then, to our amazement – it became a double! Nature is truly astonishing!
Enjoy!
I recently photographed a wonderful wedding at the Cheyenne Mountain Country Club – it’s such a lovely venue for weddings!
When selecting ties for the guys, my client Sarah had this wonderful idea of having each groomsmen (along with her Groom) wear a different tie – the only requirement is that it had to be blue! What a cute and clever way to mix it up!
Enjoy!
We can’t seem to get enough of this venue! Meet Kat and David! They had a wonderful fall wedding at Crooked Willow last year. Designed and Coordinated by the super talented Jessica Adler of JA Special Events.
Enjoy!
Happy new year Paige!! Amazing photos. PEACE
These are simply AMAZING!! You are just so talented!
