Sara and Craigs Wedding

My good friends Sara and Craig got married up in Copper Mountain. I was a bridesmaid in the wedding. I didn't do all of the photography, but of course I couldn't leave my camera at home. :) These were some of my favorite images of Sara and Craig. I will post some photographs from their rehearsal dinner in a little while. I know it looks very sunny and nice in these pictures, but believe me it was freezing outside. It was 32 degrees with snow blowing in and out throughout the day. Dzifa and I had a great time dancing the night away with all of the guests at the wedding. I love dancing, so it was a lot of fun to be able to let loose.

Wedded Bliss In The City

Words can't describe how beautiful and elegant Sarah and Brad's wedding was. They had a wedding with 200 guests at the University Club. The University Club miraculously changed over the room from ceremony to a pure elegant dining experience in one hour! Every ounce of detail and thought put into the planning showed with their wedding. We had great weather and fall colors to add to the mix. What a perfect day with a great couple. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to talk about Brad and the best man Steve's "special dance" for everyone at the reception. It was quite a sight to see. I will try to post some of those pictures soon. In the meantime enjoy the slideshow.

Best Wishes-

Ian and Tracy's Wedding

If you haven't been to Devils Thumb Ranch I suggest you do. Ian and Tracy had their wedding at the Devils Thumb Ranch in Tabernash, CO. They did a incredible job at planning every little detail. I thought Liz with Fleur De Liz (florist) and Carolyn French (wedding planner) made the day perfect. There were a lot of toasts given at the wedding. I loved hearing the sentimental stories as well as the hilarious ones. Ian and Tracy I had the best time meeting your family and friends. I hope you are having a great trip in Italy! I think it's fabulous you are taking a three week honeymoon. Here is a slideshow of some of my favorites from your wedding.

My Best Friend Is Getting Married!

My best friend of 25+ years is getting married next summer! Maren, Ben, Dzifa and I headed up to the mountains to do their engagement portrait. We hit the perfect weekend in the mountains for the changing of the leaves. Most of the leaves were bright yellow. It looks pretty warm in the pictures, but believe me it wasn't as warm as it looks. Maren and Ben were willing to bear the cold for some great photographs. Maren and Ben I can't wait to be in your wedding next summer! Here is a sneak peak at their slideshow.

Stacey and Dave's Wedding

Somehow I have been able to work my way around the ever-changing weather in Colorado. Stacey and Dave's wedding is a perfect example. I woke up and looked outside only to see that it was pouring rain and dark clouds in every direction. The wedding was a morning wedding so not a lot of time to let things clear up. As I was on my way to Hudson Gardens the sky began to clear. By the time they began setting up for the wedding it was a beautiful Colorado day. Just as I was leaving the reception it started to pour rain again. What luck! Stacey and Dave were so much fun to photograph. They had the most natural smiles and they showed such sweet compasion for one another. Here are a few of my favorites from the wedding day. If you want to see more check out their slideshow.

A Perfect Day In Paradise

I had such a great time photographing Jim and Courtney's wedding. As I was driving up to Estes Park it was dreary and overcast outside. Right before I dropped into Estes Park the clouds lifted and blue skies prevailed. We lucked out with having great weather and a picture perfect ceremony. It was really neat to see the softspot Jim has for Courtney. I think it shows in the pictures with him. Some of my favorite photographs were when they were trying to be serious and then would burst out in laughter. The Taharaa Mountain Lodge is a great place to have a wedding.

Portraits on the Beach

During my vacation to Cape Cod I did a little work too. It was so wonderful mixing up the scenery and trying something new. There aren't too many beaches here in Denver. Here are four different family portraits that I did. I loved having the opportunity to photograph good friends. Everyone that is in these pictures has been coming to Cape Cod for years. I am lucky to have been able to join in the tradition for the past 3 years. Thanks again for making this such a memorable trip, I am looking forward to next year. Check out Anne and Marks family in this slideshow. Good times and great memories!! Best Wishes- Katie

Senior Portraits

We are just winding down from the busy season of senior portraits. I thought I would put a few images up of a session I had last week. The girls in these photographs are my cousins. While I was photographing them I started feeling so old. I remember when they were born. Where does the time go? Tara and Courtney are twins and look so cute in pictures together because they both have their own unique look. I am hoping to post a slideshow up of them later this week. Girls it was so great spending time with you, I will see you soon. Have a blast during your senior year. Best Wishes - Katie

The Next Best Thing to Family

Here is our Cape Cod family. There are so many wonderful people and families that come here year after year. This year we have been doing theme nights to our potluck dinners. We have had Italian, Mexican and tonight is an American themed dinner. Here are some of last nights photos. We just got back from water skiing this afternoon. While we were on the boat we saw two pods of dolphins, a seal and tons of jelly fish (the friendly kind).

Fun shot of a bird on the beach.

Good times with the "family."
The name of the place we stay is called Linger Longer By The Sea. Here is what it looks like at sunset.
Dzifa and I soaking in the last few rays of the day!

A Perfect Sunset in Cape Cod

I am out in Cape Cod for my 3rd annual vacation. Dzifa has been coming here for 12 years and I am joining in the tradition. We have about 30 people that have been doing the same thing. We have pot luck dinners every night and then we all walk to the beach for the sunset. Here are some photos from my first night that I was here. I will try to post more as the week goes on.

David Jay comes to our Denver PUG!!

Here is a shot we took later in the evening of most of the group.

Sara, DJ and me.
Sara, Emily and me.

For all of my fellow photographers, I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for coming to our Denver PUG meeting. We had such a great turn out 50+ people! David Jay put a lot into his seminar and took a lot of time to make it something great for everyone. I think we also have to thank Pictage for really making it possible. Don't forget to check out DJ's programs, Showit Web and Showit Effects. I really enjoyed seeing familiar faces and meeting a lot of new people too. I was so glad my good friend Sara France was able to make it out to CO for my live forum and for DJ's seminar. It was a whirlwind day, but such a great time.

Molly and Fred's Wedding

Molly and Fred were such a classic couple. They got married at the Immaculate Conception, but chose to do a lot of their photographs at the Oxford Hotel. I thought the rooms were beautiful for the portraits of them. I also loved the way they looked in Sepia, it made them look timeless. I had a great time working with Michelle from Nancy Chase Weddings and Celebrations along with Denise Capelli with Capelli Floral. They helped in making the event spectacular. If you want to see more from their wedding check out their slideshow.

Joslyn and Jayson's Wedding

Joslyn and Jayson's wedding was at the Cheyanne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs. The setting is breath taking. I can see why they chose to have their destination wedding there. Jayson was a groomsmen in a wedding I photographed two years ago. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to work with them. Joslyn and Jayson are so in love and it shows in every photograph. Joslyn has the most enlightening smile. When she laughs and smiles she lights up the entire room. It is obvious to see why Jayson loves her like he does. Their slideshow is incredible, don't forget to check it out.

Steve and Tara's Downtown Adventure

Steve and Tara were so much fun during their engagement portraits. I am really looking forward to their wedding in September. They are both so laid back and easy going. At one point Steve cracked me up because he couldn't stop laughing. Here is a slideshow of thier engagement portrait downtown.
