New WPJA Award Winner
The latest WPJA contest results were just announced the other day, and I found that this image placed in the Trash the Dress portrait category. I had a lot of fun with the shots from this series — I took them last year in the Mexican Riviera Maya in Tulum, at Todd and Malissa’s wedding. We actually go to go into a cenote and shoot in a huge underground river. Wow! I brought along my underwater housing and snorkeled around shooting these two. Totally fun.

Meet Chris, one of our Associate Photographers
As promised, I’m going to introduce some new faces behind the scenes. We’ll start with Chris, one of our Associate Photographers. I met Chris about 6 years ago in California. He’s an avid outdoor nut and also one of the funniest people I know — and both these qualities wind up in his photographs. When he’s not shooting weddings, he’s working as a mountain guide and taking pictures of climbing and outdoor sports. He spent January guiding Aconcagua, an Argentinian peak that rises up to almost 23,000 feet, and then toured south shooting the mountains of Patagonia. Check out his portfolio by visiting Dreamtime Images, clicking on the ABOUT tab, and scrolling down to his link.
What follows is a brief introductory bio and some of his favorite shots.
First, his self portrait. A few months ago in New Zealand I checked my email and found this ridiculous photo in my inbox. The big winter surf swells were just hitting California, and Chris wasn’t there to partake. I guess he got a little jealous, so he swept a few feet of snow off a rickety hand rail 15 feet off the deck and had at it. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Chris writes:
Stepping into photography as a full-time professional has been a process that started when I was 14. Black and white photography classes in school opened my eyes to a world of technique, timing and creativity. I remember watching chemical mysteries unfold in tubs of smelly fluids. Some pictures I eagerly waited for, watching for the first signs of shadow and highlights. But every so often I would watch an amazing image unfold that I didn’t recognize, a picture that I hardly remembered taking. The joy of taking pictures didn’t end when the camera went back into the bag.
A camera was within reach during all of my life-changing adventures. The first time I went rock climbing. A year studying music in Kathmandu. A sojourn in Sweden studying international human rights law. Travels in Africa, the Mediterranean and Scandanavia were all documented. Whether I am hanging from the side of a cliff waiting for a climber to lean a little to the left, setting up a tripod moments before a sunset turns orange, or holding my breath in anticipation of a bride and groom’s first kiss, the excitement of capturing life’s moments is nothing short of an adventure.
As I’ve said many times before, Jeremy and Johanna’s wedding (above) was a highlight of my summer. From campfires with marshmallows to side-cramping laughter fests, these two threw a party that reminded me of what it means to find your soul-mate. Jeremy’s smile is that of someone truly in love. What could be better than that?
This picture reminds me that some photographs can move. Sarah and Mark had a wedding in a category of its own. The reception started with an improv show and ended with some of the most hilarious dancing I’ve seen. And right before it all began, I caught the two of them realizing that their lives had just changed in a big, wonderful way.
The thing about weddings is that there’s just crazy love flying around everywhere. When Lizzy and her Dad had their moment on the dance floor, it was clear that they share a father-daughter bond unlike any other.
I never planned on taking this picture. I got together with Megan and Peter to do an engagement shoot, and we laughed more in those few hours than I ever expected. Peter got an idea, Megan refined it and I shot it. I still crack up every time I look at this picture. These two are awesome!
I want to make a mega-huge-monster-sized print of this and hang it on the wall. When I’m not taking pictures of weddings, I go ice climbing. Not only do I love the cool colors and tree textures in this, it also happens to be a picture of the best ice climber in the world.
This picture was taken right before I was attacked by an angry elk. Must have been something I said. Sometimes you have to remember that no matter what happens… keep taking pictures!
On Christmas Day I offered to document a holiday meal for the homeless at the Rock Bottom Foundation. Admittedly, I wasn’t sure who would want their picture taken and who would not. As it turned out, most people didn’t mind. In fact, one man in particular wanted his photo taken as much as possible. He introduced himself as “Disco Willie” and told me that he was going to do a headstand. I’d just arrived, and I wasn’t expecting to have people doing gymnastics — but the next thing I know, I’m looking at an upside down Disco Willie, arms outstretched, no hat. A definite favorite.

Jumping for Joy Down Under
Happy Holidays everyone!
I’m writing this note from the West Coast of New Zealand, where I’m traveling at the moment in pursuit of beautiful light, great imagery, and an endless summer. It’s been a fun trip so far, and I’m excited to see what’ll happen next. Before I start the busy 2010 wedding season, I’m headed to Australia, Tasmania and Tonga, three places I’ve never been but have always dreamed of visiting.
2009 has been a wild, wild ride. It’s taken me across continents and oceans, and I’ve photographed almost everything imaginable: climbing in France; coral reefs off the coast of Venezuela; landscapes in New Zealand; and weddings in the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, California wine country, and as far away as Norway. Back in September I added up the days my car had sat at the Denver International Airport parking lot, and was startled to discover the total: nearly 18 weeks. That means I was shooting out of state for about half of the first 9 months of the year. In October I shot weddings in Colorado and California, and climbing in both Zion National Park and Yosemite, and in November I flew to New Zealand. Despite being on the road, I’ve kept busy with new bookings and album designs — and as a cool side note, JenLos’ book, from their Virgin Islands wedding, was picked by Kambara USA as a sample album that the company will bring to trade shows around the country.
It’s been humbling to win awards from the WPJA, it’s been fun to see my shots for Sigma Photo show up in magazine advertisements around the world, and it’s been exciting to grow my studio with the addition of associate photographers (in two different states) and a production manager. Expect to see profiles of Bernd and Chris in upcoming blog posts — we are currently booking them weddings in both California and Colorado, and they do an absolutely rocking job. Both of them have seen it all: Bernd shot a wedding in Vail this year with a reception so bumping that the smoke alarms went off and the Fire Department came, while Chris just recently shot an elopement in Rocky Mountain National Park in the middle of a whiteout. Party on! You’ll love these guys.
I’ve had more fun behind the lens in 2009 than in any other year of my life. It’s been awesome to see the resurgence of break dancing, and I’ve been downright impressed with the all-star partying I’ve encountered at this year’s receptions. Resisting the urge to boogie has been a challenge, especially after watching people bust out award-winning worms, aerial stalls, head spins, and every other dance move invented in the last 40 years. I have realized that I need to learn to break dance. Can someone teach me? It’s also been cool to reconnect with past clients, learn about their lives, and even see their new babies. I love this job.
I’ll try to get a best-of-2009 post up soon, and maybe I’ll put up a few shots of my winter adventure so far. Meanwhile, here’s a shot of me jumping for joy somewhere in countryside in New Zealand, courtesy of Rannveig Aamodt.
Last but not least, please excuse me if I don’t respond to emails immediately. There’s a day or two lag time here, as cell reception is spotty.

Mia and Jeremy – Bachelor Gulch Wedding Photography
Wow, I don’t even know where to begin. I first met Mia and Jeremy last year and knew immediately that their wedding was going to be off the hook. For the wedding weekend I brought along two great photographers to shoot with me, Brett Butterstein and my associate photographer Chris. Jeremia tied the knot in Beaver Creek with a smaller rehearsal dinner at Beano’s Cabin and a huge night before party (with a mechanical bull) at the nearby Lazy J Ranch. The wedding was a jaw-dropper — Anuschka at Bloom did a fantastic job with a flower wall and flower huppah in the tent — and the ensuing reception was simply epic. The party knob was turned way past full blast until 3 am, and the flames were stoked by an 80s band called the Spazmatics. People were dancing on the stage all night — or on the chairs, tables, or on top of everyone else. It was the most amazing party I’ve ever been to. I’ve always wondered what if I could organize some sort of all-star wedding and put all the most amped partiers I’ve photographed in a room together and blast the tunes for hours… and then I realized that Jeremia basically did just that. I actually couldn’t sleep that night because I was so adrenalized and at the same time so exhausted. Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO!!! YOU ROCK! A big shout out to Michael and his LA-based planning team at Along Came Mary, the NY singers in Groundstone, the Jerry Barnett Orchestra, David at Design Works, Mia’s sisters Megan and Melissa at Planit Events, and the rest of the absolutely fabulous vendors that made the wedding oh-so-awesome. Here are a few favorites, along with a slideshow containing a mixture of shots from myself, Brett and Chris.
Here’s a great shot by Brett of Mia getting her hair done.
And an awesome shot by Chris of the first dance

British Virgin Islands Wedding Photography: Adam & Dana
Dana decided that she wanted her wedding weekend to be something of a commune, so she designed what was one of the coolest weddings ever in the British Virgin Islands. Her, Adam and their friends converged on Villa Aquamare in the British Virgin Islands for a few days of pool parties, yachting and hanging out. I arrived the first night after traveling by plane, boat, bus and car to get there. It was a super fun adventure. The crowd was a ton of fun, and I had a blast shooting the festivities. I brought along an underwater housing for my camera, and spent half the time in the pool with everyone. A definite highlight was a trip to The Baths, an incredible jumble of boulders the size of houses, all scattered on the beach. The surf comes in between the boulders and forms a series of caves, pools and passageways. Great place. Anyway, congrats to Adam and Dana! You guys rock. I’ll never forget your rad hip-hop pool parties, your great senses of humor your absolutely beautiful wedding ceremony. Here are some favorite shots as well as a slideshow.

Wedding featured in Wedvert
Check it out ! Malisa and Todd’s wedding in Tulum, in Mexico’s Riviera Maya, is now one of the featured weddings in Wedvert Magazine, a publication all about green weddings.
Oh, and FYI — if you’re looking for a wedding coordinator for a destination wedding, check out Malisa’s site. She’s become a destination wedding planner!
Here’s some of what Malisa has to say:
Too beautiful to be true, Tulum, located on the eastern coast of the Yucatan peninsula, is one of Mexico’s most treasured national preserves and a nesting ground for turtles. It’s also the location and inspiration behind Malisa and Todd’s intimate seaside wedding. “I had a vision of white sand beaches, which are very hard to find in today’s environment of the mega resort,” Malisa says. “I stuck with my vision, though, and it led us to Tulum, where sea turtles nest and hotels are solar-powered in order to avoid light pollution and keep the turtles happy.”

Cozumel Wedding Photography – Yani and Ken
Yani and Ken were married in Cozumel in a heartfelt wedding with fantastic guests. I had an absolute blast hanging out these guys, and you can see from the photos that they never stopped laughing. They’re two of the most good-natured, happy people I’ve ever met. Their ceremony was so genuinely emotional that I almost started crying.
They had their rehearsal dinner in the garden at Pancho’s Backyard in downtown Cozumel. The place came alive with tiny palm trees, live music and christmas lights, and a definite highlight was a personalized wedding song sung by relatives dressed as Mexican food — including a 6′6″ taco. The next day started off with all the guys heading to a beach bar and tossing a football around dressed in ridiculous tourist shirts, which you can see in the slideshow at the bottom of this post. They had an extra one that I inherited that says “National Pimp Association.” I’m extremely proud of it. 
Mr. Sancho’s played host to the ceremony and reception — it’s a super cool little beach bar with a fantastic wedding garden off to the side. I loved the bright colors and super mellow vibe. Big fan!
Anyway, Yani, Ken, you guys are a great match. I’m super psyched for you. Congratulations!
Oh, PS: I don’t think I’ll ever forget playing Farkle with everyone till the wee hours of the morning every night. Thank you so much for the Farkle kit you sent me in the mail. I love it. I’m a fan for life. I promise to spread the game far and wide, and I hope to Farkle with you again one day.

Vail wedding photography – Sonnenalp – Christen and Todd
Christen and Todd were married at the Sonnenalp in Vail recently and had an awesome ceremony and reception. I had a blast photographing the reception — rockin party, with good times had by all. Emotions ran high, too, and there were countless tender moments between everyone. I was really touched by the strong bond Christen and Todd obviously have with each other, as well as with their families. Basically it was a photographer’s dream! Congratulations, you two. Here are a few favorites, followed by a slideshow.

WPJA Contest Awards, 2009
Just got the results back from the most recent WPJA contest, and I had three images place. Cool stuff. Members were only allowed to submit black and white images, which made it pretty unique. I had a fun time going through my shots looking for the patterns, textures and moments that translate well into black and white. The first shot was from Yani and Ken’s wedding in Cozumel, which was an incredible event (stay tuned for a slideshow). It won seventh place in the found details category. The judges wrote: “I love the attention to detail here, from the texture of the seersucker fabric and the pattern on the tie to the flower on the lapel.”
The next shot was actually just featured on my blog from Emily and Brian’s wedding at the One and Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas. It’s a cool reflection I captured of Emily right before the ceremony.
And then there’s this shot from Danelle and Matt’s wedding in Vail, which placed in the Emotion category. The judges wrote: “A fairly standard view at a wedding but so well done! The photographer really captured the groom so well and the long row of groomsmen sharing in the moment completes the whole picture. Not easy to choose to photograph the groom in the big moment but it paid off well here.”

Bahamas wedding photography: One and Only Ocean Club
Emily and Brian got married at the One and Only Ocean Club on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, and wow, What a celebration! It must be one of the most beautiful weddings ever. I was super psyched for them that they as many friends and family down there as they did. It’s always so cool to see the love surrounding a couple, and it really shows when you have guests traveling from far away to be a part of the celebration. I can see why they had such a turnout, too
I learned at the rehearsal dinner that Brian, within a few hours of meeting Emily, made a $1000 bet with a friend that he’d marry her. And here we are! How cool is that?
The day after the wedding, Emily and Brian braved some stifling heat for a fun portrait session that included everything from the sunken Versailles gardens of the Ocean Club to… yes… a banana tube ride. These guys know how to get down.
Congats! Emily, Brian, you rock!
Below are a few highlights of the wedding, as well as a slideshow.

Della Terra Mountain Chateau Wedding Photography
Della Terra is open, and wow does it look awesome! Pam let Sarah, her mom, her brother and myself in for a bridal portrait shoot, and we had full run of the property for a few hours. I think Della Terra is one of the best wedding venues in the state — no kidding. The rooms are incredibly well appointed, complete with walk-through showers and hot tubs on the porch! Inside there is a super cozy fireplace and a huge two-story waterfall. And the wedding deck itself looks up onto MacGregor Slab in Rocky Mountain National Park. Good stuff. Sarah and I had fun shooting all over the place — and yes, she did get into a bathtub full of water in her wedding dress. Can’t wait to shoot her and Mark’s wedding next month!

Colorado Wedding Photography – Meadows at Marshdalle, Evergreen
Associate Photographer Bernd Z. just finished up with Jen and Brian’s wedding at the Meadows at Marshdale in Evergreen. Beautiful wedding! Here’s what he had to say:
The weather was.. let’s say… “not cooperative” when I got there, yet both of you were so positive and relaxed that nothing could sour your wedding day. It was simple and elegant, timeless and classic, and reflected the care and love you have for each other. To have your two families come together from all across the country to celebrate with you was especially meaningful. I am so pleased to have been part of your wedding and I would spend any day with the two of you in the mountains climbing and taking pictures.
Here are a few favorites from the day, along with a slideshow.

Tulum, Mexico Wedding Photography: Malisa and Todd
Epic! Malisa and Todd had the most incredible wedding in Tulum last week, and I had the honor to shoot the whole four days of festivities. It was an amazing time — we did everything from zip lines to snorkeling in cenotes to partying at Carnival in Cancun. I got back three days ago and I’m still recovering.
We had all sorts of awesome photo excursions — one day we actually took some strobes and went down into a cenote before the place opened, and had full run of a massive underground cave with a crystal clear river running through it. Absolutely fantastic. Check out the pictures below.
Also, they managed to find one of the coolest venues I’ve ever been to anywhere: the Mil Amores hotel, way off the beaten path in Tulum. It was the house of the infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar, who was listed by Forbes Magazine as the world’s 7th richest man in 1989. We had a tour and were shown the “yoga room” and I had visions of a dozen of the world’s biggest cocaine kingpins in there involved in all sorts of debauchery. Anyway, if you’re considering getting married in Mexico, I can’t recommend this place enough. The staff’s just super nice and accommodating and the building and location are both just incredible. And if anyone reading this winds up there, give their Doberman a pat for me. The poor dog had an ear infection when it was a pup and has no sense of balance: it walks like a drunk and runs into stationary objects.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself: is this job for real? I had so much fun hanging out with Todd and Malisa and getting to know their family and friends. It’s great getting to spend time with everyone and meeting new people. After a little while, we all are at ease and I think that shows up in the photos.
Anyway, Todd, Malisa: CONGRATULATIONS! I wish you guys the very best, and can’t wait to see you again one of these day. If you come to Colorado, you’ve always got a place to stay and rocks to climb

Brett and Ryan get married in California
I am soooo behind on blogging right now, so in the next week or two I’m going to *try* to give a snapshot of what I’ve been up to in the last few months. These posts will be in no particular order, but anyway.
Brett and Ryan flew out to California to get married just before the November election, and I jetted out as well as a surprise. You may recognize them from earlier in the year, when I shot Brandy and Tony’s wedding in the Bahamas. Brandy is Brett’s sister. I met Ryan and Brett at that wedding and had an awesome time hanging out with them and the rest of their fam, so it was really fun to have Brett’s mom call me up the week before their wedding to ask if I was available to shoot it. At the last minute I flew back to California and had a little reunion of sorts at the beach in Santa Barbara — the guys had no clue I was going to be there! — and then we took off to do a little engagement type of portrait session at sunset. The next day they had a private ceremony in an herb garden at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa with 2 friends, Brandy and Tony, and Brett’s parents. Couldn’t have been more perfect.
Congratulations to Brett and Ryan!
And a big fat shameful thumbs down to California for the Prop 8 vote. What an embarrassment.

Liz and Kyle get married at Wild Basin Lodge
I had a great time shooting Liz and Kyle’s wedding at Wild Basin Lodge up in Allenspark, at the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park. It was a peaceful, misty September day, which gave a really cool feel to the outdoor photos. Liz mentioned that Kyle could get a little emotional at times, so I was on the lookout during the ceremony. Sure enough, as soon as he saw Liz he broke down. Their affection for each other is palpable.
I also loved how they had a “flower girl” (dressed up literally as a flower) and a “ring bearer” who was dressed as a little bear. About the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
Congrats you two!!

Cordillera Wedding Photography: The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera
I had an awesome time shooting Dan and Natasha’s wedding at the Lodge and Spa at Cordillera recently. The Lodge is perched high on a hill overlooking some of Colorado’s most beautiful mountains, which made for some gorgeous images, but the event design was even more spectacular thanks to Carolyn Moorman at Artisan Events.
Lots of cool things about the wedding. First, Dan’s brother is in a band, and traveled all the way out from Texas to play for the wedding. He spiced it up a little by bringing along a Russian folk band — in honor of Natasha’s heritage — to play as well. So the reception got off to a great start as Natasha and her family started dancing to these amazing songs. And the reception tent was just off the charts too. I can’t describe how cool it was with all the rich red colors in the drapes, table clothes, etc — just check out the photos. Super fun photographic opportunity.
One of my favorite shots of the year is the image of Natasha’s dad standing in front of the Lodge’s massive glass windows with an incredible reflection of the sky.
Anyway, Natasha, Dan, congratulations!

Always look on the bright side of life!
I got to photograph Amy and Rob’s wedding recently in Sonoma, California, at the Jacuzzi Vineyard. Amy and Rob were laughing together all day long — it’s so obvious why they made a great couple. On the way down the aisle, they whistled the Monty Python song “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” — and had all their guests join them. Ha! I also loved that they chose their ceremony spot right in the middle of the grapevines. It was so cool. Everything about the afternoon was just about perfect. Here are a few shots from the day, followed by a slideshow.
Congratulations Amy and Rob!

A few weeks ago, Susan and Chris got married at Beano’s Cabin, a really cool rustic venue up in the mountains in Beaver Creek. Susan was full of sass on the dance floor and I had an awesome time shooting the evening. Among several highlights were fantastic toasts by Chris’ buddies and Susan’s sisters and mom, a hilarious father-daughter dancing surprise, and a couple of bears wandering around outside Beano’s during the toasting. I’m still trying to figure out how wedding coordinator Jen Hammond organized that! All in all, an awesome evening that went well into the night. Scroll on down for some favorites, as well as a slideshow at the end. Susan, Chris, a huge congrats!

We wandered around Lumpy Ridge for a while and found some of the most beautiful aspen groves, and then we headed up into the Alluvial Fan area of the park for some more engagement photos. I’m so excited to photograph their wedding in August — it’ll be at an amazing overlook in Colorado National Monument, which is one of my most favorite places in Colorado. Awesome!

New Wedding Venue in Estes Park
I am so excited to be writing about the Della Terra Mountain Chateau, a fantastic new Estes Park wedding venue. Pam and her team are in the middle of construction, and I got to take a tour the other day — and I have to say I’m super impressed.
The Chateau is up on Highway 34 about 100 yards from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, and the whole property borders the park. Pam’s pretty interested interested in green weddings, and as a result, the construction has taken environmentally friendly building practices into consideration. Yay! And della terra is Italian for “of the earth.”
The property is located just below Macgregor Slab, a huge, 300 foot rock formation (with great climbing, by the way!) that’s super beautiful. The views up to the formation are outstanding, as are the views across the the valley. Della Tera is replacing an old campground, and instead of building a huge parking lot, Pam’s decided to convert each campground space into a mini parking lot. So instead of having a huge patch of asphalt littered with cars, all guests will be parking in tiny spaces hidden amongst the trees. It will do a lot to maintain the natural feel that makes the property so special. Then the guests can get up to the chalet on battery-powered golf carts, or on foot.
At the top of the lot is where the ceremony site and building are. The ceremony site is going to be out of this world! There’s a natural spring that forms during the summer, which will feed a series of streams, ponds and water features on the grounds. When brides and grooms say their vows, they’ll be perfectly framed by the Macgregor Slab behind them, and the guests, sitting in a little amphitheater with stadium seating, will be able to see straight up into the park. It’s awesome. Afterward, everyone will walk along a little cobblestone pathway (along the spring-fed stream) back to the Chateau for the reception.
And wow, the inside of the building is going to be amazing. When you enter, there’ll be a little wine tasting nook, a huge fireplace in the middle of the foyer (surrounded by couches), a two-story waterfall, a private downstairs movie theater, and even rooms for guests to sleep in (complete with in-room waterfalls), the list goes on and on. It’s just awesome. I was so blown away by the tour. I can’t wait until it’s finished. I think it has sleeping for around 100 people in the Chateau itself and in some of the on-site cottages, with a capacity for up to 200 wedding and event guests.
Anyway, I gotta say, if you’re planning a wedding in Estes Park, check out Della Terra. It should be finished by next April, with weddings starting in June (I think). Word is still spreading about this place, but I have a feeling that once people learn about it, Pam’s going to be booked up pretty quickly.

Inside the Album, Part VI
So a while back I mentioned I was going to have some nice up close and personal tours with PictoBooks. Well, here’s a tour! Another one will come soon — that album will have a wood cover.
This is a sample album I made based on Amy and TJ’s wedding last year in Estes Park. They were married at the Taharaa Mountain Lodge, which is a stone’s throw away from my home office, and before the wedding we spent some time at Bear and Lilly Lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park.
They had some bold colors going on in their wedding and they came up with a really cool album — so cool that I had to make my own version of it. Their book had a green metallic cover, while this one has a green leather binding. Can’t go wrong either way!
So, without further ado, here’s a PictoBook. They’re beyond cool… and they even come in that awesome box! You can check out a full tour with little comments here.
