Angela & Devon’s album

December 29, 2008 albums

This holiday season I completed eleven albums under deadline! You may remember Angela and Devon from their wedding back in May. For their personal album they chose a Vision Art 9×12″ album with 15 spreads, and it’s gorgeous! I took a few snaps of it before I handed it over to them on Christmas Eve. Here it is:

The album came tucked inside a luxe black satin drawstring sleeve.

I particularly like this spread — so dramatic! I posed them behind my old studio, just a couple of weeks after I had relocated to my new space. Sadly, the new owners of that building have taken it down to the studs and all that groovy turquoise tile is now gone. I’m glad I got a cool shot of it before it was destroyed!

Below are all the spreads, in order. Devon and Angela were very hands on with choosing the images for their album.

Sue loves Manuel!

November 10, 2008 Hillside Gardens

I love Indian Summer in Colorado! Here’s a happy little wedding that I second shot with my good friend Charlotte Geary. As second photographer I had the luxury of photographing whatever I thought looked good, without having to worry too much about the official portraits. Sue and Manuel’s wedding ceremony and reception took place at Hillside Gardens on October 4th, a patented bright and sunny Colorado day. There were tons of really adorable kids there, plus lots of sunshine, flowers and even butterflies! They couldn’t have asked for a prettier day to say their vows. Congrats Sue and Manuel, and Charlotte it was fun working with you as always!

Posing for Charlotte’s camera. Sue’s bridesmaids were her two sisters.

For some reason I am obsessed with this fountain at Hillside Gardens. Every time I shoot a wedding there I have to take a picture of it.

Manuel got a little emotional when his sister read from Khalil Gibran during the ceremony.

Sue’s sisters react to the kiss.

This beautiful timepiece was Sue’s wedding gift to Manuel.

Manuel and Sue are fantastic dancers!

A meaningful look exchanged during the toast.

This little girl is obviously a budding photography talent!

Devon & Angela

June 4, 2008 family

Here’s a great wedding I shot on May 17th. Angela and Devon actually booked me over a year ago so there’s been a big build up, and they didn’t disappoint! Their wedding was colorful and fun, and at the end of the night I hated to go home because the party was bumpin’! These two have great taste, in fact they’re one of the most stylish couples I’ve ever worked with. I knew their wedding would follow suit! They couldn’t have asked for a better day to tie the knot — the weather was perfect. Not too hot, not too cold. Their ceremony took place at Hillside Gardens, one of my favorite outdoor venues, then cocktails at the Warehouse, followed by dinner and dancing at Tre Luna.

What a wonderful day! Angela and Devon, you guys were great. Happy honeymoon!

Angela wore these incredible hot pink shoes by Betsey Johnson, a gift from Devon.

This photo was taken behind my old studio! I had just moved into my new studio space the week before, so this was kind of a “farewell to my old place” picture.
