Thank you ~ Buchalter Wedding

Happy Halloween everyone! We just also received this note in the mail from Brian & Jessa... This has been a wedding that we were almost as involved in as doing our own! It was awesome being more a part of the planning and execution then we usually are... I think it brought us closer to your family and friends and allowed us to share in special moments that we otherwise would not have captured! Jessa you have an amazing place from where you come from and you both have wonderful friends and family... I hope your wedding was everything you ever dreamed it could be... I'm looking forward to working on your wedding video next! So please be patient it is going to be awesome!

Thank you ~ Mesko Wedding

Audra stopped by to pick up her photos today and brought us this cute card with a little extra tip for us! Thank you so much you two. After sharing this with my husband, Mike, he told me that he received one of the greatest compliments he could have received the night he was DJing your wedding... He said Grant came up to him and was so impressed that almost every guest was dancing... Grant said he had never been at a wedding where everyone was so involved with the dancing! Mike was very happy.... I always say he reads crowds very well... and can tell what is going to work the best for them! Case in point a full dance floor all night long! Best wishes to you both.... I'll be looking for your call after the first of the year if you want to do those family photos! Thanks again!

Portrait ~ Nickel Family





Happy Birthday Mr. Nickel! Stephanie, the daughter-in-law called me just two days before the 80th birthday celebration of her husband's father... the entire family was due to be in town for the celebration and would I be able to do a family portrait?! Sure!
Well, the weather wasn't really cooperating for the outdoor photo with the mountains that we planned, but we managed. I set up a backdrop at their home instead. What a charming and hospitable family! I hope they will enjoy these photos for years to come!

Engagement ~ Julie & Carl

Julie and Carl have gotten a jump start on their summer wedding plans. We just booked them for our three service package deal: photo, video, & DJ with my husband's company Digital DJ. It's an awesome deal... so if you are thinking of having all three services at your wedding give us a call... you'll regret it if you don't!
We added on the engagement session so they could have one of our amazing photo guest books! So look for their sample book to appear on our website soon. Another great couple who are going to be a lot of fun to work with! They picked the amazing Della Terra Mtn. Chateau for their wedding in July!
They are saving some bucks by having their wedding on a Thursday. Just thought I would put that tip out there for any of you who are planning a wedding and want to find ways to save money! See if the venue and other vendors will give you a discount for having a weekday wedding. Another great option in a tough economy!

Portrait ~ RHCC Board Members


I was asked to fill in on this one since we do a lot of work out here and Rolling Hills Country Club had the photographer they booked canceled on them at the last minute. I was pleased to be of assistance! Thanks gentlemen for being such easy subjects to work with!

Engagement ~ Jillian & Mark


I met Jillian & Mark in Boulder after they got off work today to take some fun engagement photos! These guys are corny and fun! I can't wait to do their wedding in February! We do have a few winter weddings booked this year, quite unusual... but maybe becoming more of the norm as it is a great way to get off season rates at venues! Should be a lot of fun! We even have a "snow angel" photo in mind! Look for their guest book to appear on our website soon!

Wedding ~ Brian & Jessa





We have just returned from covering our first destination wedding in St. John, Virgin Islands. Our friend and fellow photographer Jessa married Brian on the most beautiful white sand beach imaginable! We were privileged to be a part of the entire week's activities including multiple trips to the beach, sailing, a pig roast, snorkeling and more! Not only was it a dream wedding, but also a dream vacation for us (Mike and I never took a honeymoon!) We faced new challenges like traveling with all of our gear and trying to keep the sand out of our cameras and lenses, but all in all everything worked out great. We have some amazing photos from the couple's special day as well as from the week of the trip!
We hope this leads to new adventures... Mike and I had so much fun we are thinking of pursing destination weddings on a grandeur scale for other couple's from Colorado that are planning on a wedding out of state or out of the country. The nice thing about hiring a local to cover your destination event is that you can deal with all the other things at home like ordering prints and albums. In some cases doing a destination wedding means you may not get a chance to meet all of your vendors... which in regards to photo and video could end up very badly! So hopefully we can help out a few of you beach bound couples in the future!
