Working on this wedding I came across this image. To be honest this session has so many beautiful images, but I really loved this one. The beautiful sky , the sense of freedom and purpose. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Jon & Leanne were married at the beautiful Hudson Gardens near our studio! The weather was beautiful and the clouds were exactly the way we love them!

We started off doing an engagement session with these two where we learned that Leanne had went to CU in Boulder and Jon had went to CSU in Fort Collins. If you live in Colorado you know that these two universities are rivals even though they are nothing alike and their football teams aren’t even in the same the category. Andy & I both went to CSU and every year we have a great time with our CU friends watching the big Showdown football game between the two schools! So I can only imagine what it is like for the two of them!

For their engagement session they actually brought T-shirts with their own schools and we had a ton of fun playing around with that! Here is a the link to see their fun engagement session

Leanne planned a very pretty and elegant wedding! The two were married in the Rose Garden and had a ton of friends and family there cheering them on. They had a huge bridal party with 8 people on each side and although there were so many of them we still had them climbing on rocks and running around!

This wedding was so pretty and Leanne picked details that were very elegant! Both the bridesmaids and the groomsmen wore all black with a touch of color in the guys boutonnières of green orchids. Each of the bridesmaids carried soft bouquets of white roses, green orchids and were tied with a simple green ribbon. As a small accent piece, the groomsmen had a small green handkerchief in their front pocket.

The reception was outside under a white tent at the gardens. Each table was adorned with a black tablecloth, green accent pieces and a lit candle as the centerpiece. Leanne also had small white and black planters at each place setting for the guests to take with them.

Their cake was white with a modern feel and was topped with a big silver “M” on the top for their new last name.

Everything about this wedding was so pretty! Here are a few more of our favorite photos from the day!

Alternative Processes

andy — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 07:05:30 +0000

I have been working with a lot of alternative processes this summer. Staying fresh and finding some new products for our customers. To add to the wetplate collodion work we are doing we have also been working with encaustics, negatives from pack film and shooting a lot of 220 medium format color film. I know our brides are like what, and so might a lot of the digital photographers around the country. Basically this means we are going to have some new products to start showing off soon as I stop playing around.

As a side note I wanted to say that tonight has been super sad to be working with analog materials that are being discontinued. Tonight I found out that Fuji Pro 400h 220 has been discontinued. Also FP100b45 which is a great pack film.

The only good news. I saw that the impossible project is expecting to bring back 8×10 instant film early next year.

Of course here are a few pictures from pack film negatives. These don’t have any work on them except a slight tone. The texture is from preparing the negative. It almost gives a look similar to wet plate. They definitely don’t look like digital

Sporting the Cow Seat Covers

We got oh about a dozen emails from friends saying hey. You forgot to share Angie’s most embarrassing cow story. For those that don’t know Angie and I started dating in high school. Angie drove a little white geo. You know the one, it had a few gerbils for a motor. She used to fill it up once a month. Well this little white Geo sported some really cool seat covers. Yes you guessed it. Faux cow seat covers. Someone, please check on me later this week to make sure I am still alive for telling the story?

To make things worse she now drives one of these, with leather seats. Don’t tell her apparently she hasn’t figured out where leather comes from?

Are these cows for sale?

Anyone that knows Angie and me can tell you were a goof balls. We have been together so long that we can have fun doing just about anything as long as its with each other. This video is going to prove it. We can have a conversation with cows. You probably need a back story or two to help you with this video. First story. Angie loves cows, she stops to take pictures of them and say hello no matter where we are. We have been traveling through Kansas and heard here say “stop stop stop here”. I am thinking to myself I either just blew past a cop or she is about to get sick. Well neither was true. She saw some cows, and apparently it was a big deal that we stop to say hello lol. Second, a story laughed at by Angies Aunt and told frequently, is when Angie was a child she asked how much the cows were. Why ? because they had tags in there ears. It’s been a joke ever since. After our wedding last week in Estes Park at the Stanley we decided to go to Rocky Mountain National Park for the day. I saw a stand that rented scooters and thought. That’s hilarious, lets do this. So hopefully you will laugh at our warped sense of humor and fun.

Video and images were taken with the Iphone since we didn’t want to take our expensive gear along

Don’t forget to have fun

andy — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:31:35 +0000

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing today, remember to have some fun. I don’t mean you have to leave work, I mean while you are there have a little fun. Maybe it’s playing a joke on the guy/gal that sits behind you. If you are a bride, which there is a good chance this is a good lesson for your wedding day. Stop, breath, have fun and soak in the experience because it’s a crazy day you are about to have. The emotion, the love and all the excitement. It can be easy to get carried away with all the details, but don’t let it. Weddings always work out from our experience. There is but one goal, to get you and your fiance married. It’s going to happen and its going to be wonderful in your way.

Chris and Mindy who will be staring on the blog hopefully soon. Taking time to have that fun in Cancun Mexico at their destination wedding.

Littleton Wedding

I wanted to share a quick sneak peak of this wedding in Littleton, Colorado. I will be sharing more images from this lovely wedding later this week.

I chose to share this image because I just love it’s leading lines and storytelling. I like to think I know their whole story by looking at this image.

Children and Family Portraits

andy — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:35:56 +0000

A few weeks ago we headed out to take some pictures of Jackson. We shoot a decent amount of family portraits, senior portraits and family portraits but have not done a very good job of showing them on the blog over the last few years. So I am trying to get better. Plus I think many of you will enjoy them. As you can tell jackson is a very happy baby, and he is 7 months old in these photograph’s. We had a great time Allison and Jackson, thanks for letting us take some portraits.
