So I’ve been shooting a lot of e-session lately, the most recent with Caroline and Ty, who are getting married next month at Beano’s Cabin up in Beaver Creek. We decided to head over to the Betty Ford Alpine Garden for their photos, which was a ton of fun. There were some really dramatic storm clouds in the sky, and all the way there it rained on me — but as soon as we started shooting, the weather cleared and we had some good conditions to shoot in. Super excited for the wedding — Caroline and Ty are awesome! Here are some faves from the day.

Jen and Nick are getting married in September up in Wyoming, so we got to do an engagement session recently. They’re awesome! They were high school sweethearts and they’ve got this great vibe between them, which makes them a ton of fun to photograph. We did the whole engagement shoot at Lumpy Ridge, which is up here in Estes Park in Rocky Mountain National Park. Their two boxers, Doyl and Betsy, came along for the adventure, but couldn’t come into the park. Still, we got a few fun shots of their dogs right at the park boundary. I really wanted to bring Toots and have them play together, but that could have been out of control. Here are a few faves from the afternoon. Can’t wait for the wedding!

Craziness! I just finished up an epic trip to California, highlighted by a few days of climbing in Yosemite, followed by Amy and Rob’s wedding in Sonoma, followed by Joanna and Jason’s engagement session all over the Bay Area. It was an exhausting but absolutely awesome week.

I think I’ll work backwards here and post shots of Joanna and Jason’s e-session, which was super fun. The morning after I shot the wedding, Joanna and Jason picked me up in a coffee shop in Sonoma and we headed all over the place — it made for a super fun afternoon. First we cruised through the wine country, to some vineyards, fields and an abandoned barn, and later we headed into the city to shoot at Fort Point, throughout San Francisco, and Baker Beach. Joanna and Jason sure know their ABCs (ABC: Always Be Charging) — check out the final few images where they ran through the surf in the frigid water and then laid down in it. That’s what I call commitment!

I’m so excited for their wedding next year in Santa Barbara — it’s going to be beautiful, and Joanna and Jason will be charging for sure.

I’ve been neglecting my blog lately! Bad bad bad. But today I decided to update things with a short post. I’m in California right now preparing for a week of photo shoots. 14 corporate head shots, 3 magazine assignments and two weddings. Whoah! I flew in the evening of July 4th, so I managed to see fireworks shows from the airplane from Denver all the way to California. The coolest was flying into San Luis Obispo, where I got to see the fireworks exploding above the thick marine layer that had formed over the ocean. It was amazing watching these bursts illuminate the fog below.

Aaaanyway, a few days ago I shot Allison and Ben’s engagement session. We cruised in and out of Rocky Mountain National Park, and along the scenic Highway 7 with their two pups. Came away with some cool stuff. Congrats, you two! I look forward to the wedding!
