Just got the results from the 2012 Year End contest from the WPJA, and I found out that I won my 28th, 29th and 30th awards. Two images placed in the Getting Ready category and one in the Rings category.
More shortly — I have been in Costa Rica and Thailand since early January and have a lot of catching up to do! But you can swing over to my Facebook fan page to check out what I’ve been up to in Thailand — lots of rock climbing photography.
Nice! Congrats, great work.
Hi! I think the shot of the groom in his underwear with the tie on is hilarious! David

Liz and Jeff got hitched just after the New Year in Cancun, at an awesome place called Now Sapphire. I posted their day after trash the dress cenote session just after the wedding, and recently wrapped up the entire collection. I loved these guys and had so much fun getting to know them and their family and friends. It was a real privilege to shoot the festivities. I can only hope they soaked up enough sun to last them a while, since they had to return to their home in northern Alberta, which is about the same latitude as… umm… southern Greenland. Congrats, guys — were you able to take a vacation from your vacation when you got home?

Wow! what a stunning set of images, this day looks so much fun, love the drink shots, Steve & Sandra.
Wonderful work as usual. The photos of bridal party drinking at the bar are priceless!
I woke up on the 1st, hopped in the car, and drove to DIA to catch a flight to Mexico to shoot a wedding in Cancun. On the way there, I realized I’m starting my 8th year as a full time wedding photographer. I kind of tripped out at the thought, but it’s been an amazing ride. This year, my resolution is to stay up to date on the blog posts, so without further ado, here are some images from Liz and Jeff’s day after portrait session in some cenotes on the outskirts of Cancun, followed by a trip to Playa del Carmen, which was absolutely hopping. I’ll get the entire wedding online when it’s edited, but here’s a teaser. Happy New Year!

The bubble photo is awesome!
great work as usual, Nathan.
Right at the end of 2012, Meghan and Dom came up to Estes Park for a winter engagement session. Weather was bluebird and beautiful at the start, but it quickly degenerated into cold, windy and overcast — and it began to snow as I drove home. We braved a 30 minute uphill trudge through knee deep snow to get to one of my favorite locations to shoot around here. My hands froze into claws a couple of times and I had the screaming barfies as they warmed up. All in all, a great day, and stoked for the wedding in May.

So this is an unusual Estes Park family portrait session because, well… just look at the first picture.
Mindy, Jacob and the boys came up to Estes Park to get some pictures of the whole fam and we got totally hosed by the weather. Literally. After about 10 minutes, the clouds opened up and it started to dump on us. Amazingly everybody was pretty stoked about it, but the day came to a quick halt. They went home and we had to reschedule a few weeks later when the summer weather was less twitchy. Mindy had seen an image on my landing page and wanted a family picture that was similar, with the Milky Way in the background, so we tromped out one more time and managed to get what we were after. I had a lot of fun bush whacking with these guys up to a really cool location I tend to shoot in a lot.
Here’s some stuff from the rest of the shoot.

Really cool and very impressed! Your photography is amazing I really love the shot of the family in the rain. So many photo shoots are cancelled because of rain, love it. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I absolutly love that the family was down to be in the rain! Awesome series man! Thanks for sharing!
The whole experience was definitely exciting and memorable! Thank you for compensating for the weather and giving us a second, perfect shoot. The pictures are beautiful and we loved meeting and working with you!
beautiful!
Wow! Look at those stars! Incredible photo!
Precious and beautiful images, Congratulations
woh. that last one is unbelievable and as decent of a photographer as I am (if I do say so myself) I’m not at all sure how you pulled that off.
You make any climate look great! Such talent!
Wow,talk about a rain storm… love that you got the shot in the end.
Hey Nathan. Found your work through your “outdoor” site. Top stuff! That last shot is amazing. I don’t live in the biggest of cities but there’s still enough light pollution to make me forget just how amazing the sky at night truly is.
