Andy & I have had some amazing opportunities the last few years in our photography career and we have discovered how much we love to teach! One of the things we find very important to ourselves and the growth of our business is constant learning. I’m a strong believer that you can learn from almost anyone anywhere if you are open to it. Through our passion to learn we discovered our passion to teach; to share some of the valuable things we have learned ourselves and how we have grown our business into what it is today. Starting at a local level we spent about 2 years teaching at a local community college here in Denver about photography and digital cameras. Last year we spoke at WPPI in Las Vegas and in the trade show there for WHCC (white house custom color). Because of these amazing experiences we have developed our own teaching style and have put together some awesome workshops.
So, we are announcing our first workshop here in Colorado! It will be 3 days, there will be several models and it will be somewhere you will never expect! We are so excited because this will be unlike any other workshop! Have I intruged you????? Well stay posted because details are coming soon!
We are so excited about the Colorado workshop but we also have some very exciting things planned for the other states! We have spoken to a few of you about a workshop in your city, but are open to anywhere! If you are interested in helping us with a workshop in your city send us an email and we’ll talk!!!!!
Andy & I work really hard together and love to share milestones and achievements with all of our friends, family and clients. Without any of these people we wouldn’t be where we are today and they continue to give us the support we need every year. I am so proud of Andy, this is an amazing achievement in his career:) Getting this from an organization that puts on the largest convention and trade show in the world for wedding photographers. We found out a few weeks ago Andy is going to receive two certifications from WPPI next year. Andy is the first photographer in the state of Colorado to receive these. Now onto making sure I am the first female in colorado

Dave & Jen were married in McCall, Idaho at the Whitetail Resort. Although Dave & Jen had a small destination wedding there were still plenty of details with a lot of meaning. Jen had a beautiful emerald broach she added to her dress and her grandmother helped put on. She also had a short, white fur coat that belonged to her grandmother that was perfect later in the evening when the breeze picked up off of the lake. she wore gold ballet shoes that shined in the sun. Her flowers were made with red roses and red orchids mixed with some pink and green. It was simple elegance!
We had the awesome opportunity to fly to McCall, Idaho for Dave & Jen’s wedding. When we first got the call about the wedding in Idaho we were curious why these Californians were going all the way there for the wedding, but once we arrived and saw how beautiful it is, there was no more wondering. Having never been to Idaho, we didn’t know what to expect but we were excited for the adventure. It all started with a smaller plane where the propeller is right outside the window and its loud enough you can’t hear each other well in conversation. There were only about 15 rows on this plane and 2 seats on each side. Once we got there we had to rent a car and we drove about 2 /12 hours to the little resort town of McCall. It sits on a huge lake with other lakes not far away and a mountain atmosphere much like Colorado.
Dave & Jen were married on the dock at the lake amongst a handful of family and friends who had all flown out from California for their wedding. The scenery was amazing and the view off of the dock were perfect for the ceremony. Afterwards they had an intimate dinner with the friends and family inside. They even had a beautiful hotel suite with a large window
We had a great time traveling to Idaho and working with this wonderful couple and their family!
