My best 12 images of 2016!

Colorado Springs wedding photography

I shot my first wedding of 2016 on January 1st, and my last one is this afternoon, December 31st. It’s been an amazing year! I also did tons of portraits: newborn babies, families big and small, couples, high school seniors, and even a dog or two! Here are my best images of the year, month by month. If you’re one of my lovely clients and you don’t see your picture here, don’t feel bad. I chose my best images of the year for this list, not my best clients! (You’re ALL the best!) Not counting yesterday’s wedding and the one I’m doing later today, I delivered 6,840 wedding images and 1,181 portraits in 2016, not to mention all other jobs I did, like head shots, commercial work and fashion stuff! Needless to say, it was tough narrowing all of that down to just 12 images! Enjoy!

Mining Exchange wedding :: Jacqueline + Jon

Mining Exchange wedding downtown Colorado Springs

Another fantastic Mining Exchange wedding! Lovebirds Jackie and Jon tied the proverbial knot on January 1st, New Year’s Day. Since Jon is in the Army, the wedding ceremony was held at Soldiers Chapel on Fort Carson; their reception followed at the Mining Exchange in downtown Colorado Springs.

Jackie took the idea of becoming a military wife (and new stepmother) and ran with it. She even wore a camouflage garter! Meanwhile, Jon looked very handsome in his dress uniform, and Jackie’s dad followed suit. I do love a military wedding since I’m an Air Force brat myself and I think the uniforms always look so nice!

I had a blast celebrating Jackie and Jon’s big day with them and their nice families — and I can officially say I’ve never laughed so much at a wedding. We were all in stitches during Jon’s toast to his beautiful bride. It was hilarious! What a fun group of people and a great Mining Exchange wedding! Congratulations, Jackie and Jon!!!

Just wanted to share a few pics of the gorgeous custom album I created for Kris and Deb’s wedding at the Cliff House last fall. I think it came out beautifully, and it will certainly be a treasure for them and their future children in the years to come.
