Matt and Meredith are awesome, awesome (AWESOME!!) people, and I am so happy to be working with them! I love so many things about this engagement session in downtown (ish) Denver, I don't even know where to begin...
Meredith's blue glass ring is INCREDIBLE.
One of my faves:
A sweet little no - Photoshop trick:
M & M - love you guys! Can't wait for the wedding!!
Just fair warning... if you hire me to shoot your wedding, there's a solid chance that a year later we'll be friends and you'll blindly follow me into the desert for days on end and we might accidentally stumble upon filming of a Will Smith movie in the middle of nowhere and maybe the night before we're supposed to leave for this epic road trip I'll send you a random Facebook message in the middle of the night suggesting that you bring "some cool clothes or something" and we'll rock out the most awesome desert shoot ever while our guys make banana margaritas in the electric blender they've hooked up to the cigarette lighter outlet in the car.Moab is one of my favorite places in the entire world. I've been going there for years, several times a year, since high school - by myself, with Zach, with friends - and it totally feels like a second home. I LOVE the desert so much, and Moab is absolutely one of the most breathtaking, astoundingly beautiful, most surreal places on the planet. Pictures really don't do this place justice at all, and that's coming from a photographer :)
Anyway, this shoot with Shalisa came with little / no prep and little / no styling :) It was HOT and we had all been sleeping on the desert floor for a few days so you better have some mad respect for this girl's beauty! This is the awesome part about my job - I met Nate and Shalisa for the first time when they hired me to shoot their wedding about a year ago, and now we hang out, and awesome things like this happen. Who would have known, a year ago :) I'll probably have to do a separate blog post on the trip itself, because there's just too much goodness going on here. Love you Shalis!
I'm in Moab usually several times a year - if you're from the area and want to schedule a shoot, feel free to be in touch. Or, if you're not from the Moab area but are as in love with it as I am, also feel free to be in touch. Maybe we can coordinate trips! :)
Rachel is another one of my Senior Models and is SO incredibly gorgeous! What a natural in front of the camera :) The whole time we were shooting her mini-session, I kept thinking that she looks like some celebrity, but I couldn't put my finger on who. Any guesses?
This girl is so easy in front of the camera and has the most amazing style. We shot her mini-session along Pearl Street in Boulder on a perfect afternoon, and I can't wait for her full session!
Kara & Matt are two of the sweetest, most easy-to-be-around people ever. Also, they're full of fun ideas. And they're both unfairly gorgeous. I knew I would love these two when Kara mentioned in an email that Matt proposed to her on New Year's... in Bangkok, a place I've spent a ton of time in and is so close to my heart. We had such a great afternoon traveling from location to location, shooting their engagement photos throughout Denver, joined by the fabulous Keegan from Steele The Spotlight - a master with hair and makeup! Kara & Matt - congratulations to you both - I'm so happy for you!Also, thank you to Chatfield Botanic Gardens for being so kind and accommodating to us!
Ooh, I love these two!
These pants are AMAZING. I love the retro feel!
Kara, you are GORGEOUS. Seriously.
I love this series! We started by the fence, and that horse came over right away to check us out - he ended up giving Kara kisses and nibbling on her hair. We were cracking up!
Thanks again, you guys are amazing!
