Mountain Wedding with Josh & Melissa

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 Posted in Colorado Wedding Photographer

From the beginning, Josh and Melissa were great to work with!  We started with an engagement session before their wedding where we kept hearing about this infamous Jeep!  We are Jeep owners ourselves, so we understand the love of a Jeep, but with Josh this was a car he spent hours working on and it came in as a very close second to the love of his life.  They had wanted to use it for their engagement session, but it didn’t work out, so we knew it would be at the wedding!

They were married on a beautiful day at Stone Mountain Lodge in Lyons, near Estes Park.  We all arrived around the same time and Andy quickly grabbed the first shot below of Josh and his mom.  At every wedding we do the parents show a lot of emotion and this wedding was no exception.  We love watching how happy and proud parents are on the wedding day.

I spent the first part of the day with Melissa in a little white tent, photographing her getting ready with the help of her mom, sisters and friends.  It was a lot of fun to watch her when her bouquet arrived; she was so excited and it was so pretty!  It was a bigger bouquet filled with pink and white roses and lilies.  When it came time, you could see how emotional she was walking out with her father but the ceremony went off perfectly and afterwards we spent some time taking pictures of the two of them around the cute pond and beautiful scenery.  Here is part 1 of some of our favorite photojournalistic moments from their wedding day!

Find out if you see color like a pro

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 Posted in misc

Pro’s have an advantage taking this test because most of them are working on color calibrated monitors to make sure prints match their labs. Those of you that don’t though can still play. I thought this might be fun for those of you that want to see how you stack up. Feel free to leave your scores as a comment. Click on the picture to take you to the test.

Sneak Peak Jeep Wedding

Monday, July 12, 2010 Posted in wedding photographers

I wanted to share a quick picture of the wedding I am going to post tomorrow. Everyone loves a jeep right? We even have one so we get it. The groom Josh is an avid jeep guy. Getting to take a picture of his two favorite things makes for a really cool wedding portrait.

It’s not about the gear

Sunday, July 11, 2010 Posted in misc

I get a lot of emails, and we got asked a lot when teaching classes at the College, about our gear.  I always felt like I was somehow misleading people though, because its not always about the gear.  It doesn’t allways take thousands of dollars of gear to take a great photograph.  My case and point for saying this is a story about fishing.  My family regularly goes fishing to Wyoming. The best gear is not a prerequisite for fishing.  Its a nice thing to have.  It may help you land the fish faster.  It may help you with precision casting.  Its a nice thing to have, and makes your life easier.  You can catch fish with cheap gear.  The same is true with photography gear.  With experience and knowledge of light and how a camera operates, you can make beautiful images with just about any camera.  Here are some images from a recent gallery show made with a 30.00 dollar  holga camera, which I think are pretty cool.  Any camera even pinhole camera’s can take beautiful images.  A camera is just a box with a hole that lets light in.  It can be made out of a dixie cup, and get images that can inspire.

I wanted to share this video I ran into which shows a fashion shoot done with an Iphone.  The video is both funny and entertaining.  You can see the finished images at Fstoppers
