Sammie's a Senior

Our friend Karin's daughter is a Senior this year so we recently had the opportunity to take her Senior pictures. I'm pretty sure that Sammie was in elemenatry school when we met her, so it's a bit surreal to be taking her Senior pics already. We shot her older sister's Senior pictures what seems like only a little while ago, but she just graduated from college. We had a good time doing these. We just strolled around Manitou Springs and snapped a few when something struck us.

Congratulations Rich & Kathy

Rich and Kathy were married Saturday August 9th, 2008 at St. Michael's in Aurora, Colorado. The wedding ceremony was followed by an open house at the couples home, and an evening lake-side dinner and reception at the Inverness Hotel in Denver. We had so much fun shooting Rich and Kathy's event. They were so welcoming and eager to include us as guests, as well as vendors.

Congratulations to Jeff & Ying

Jeff and Ying were married this past weekend at the home of one of Jeff's relatives in Colorado Springs. The intimate ceremony was held in the beautifully landscaped backyard, complete with a waterfall and Koi pond. Jeff and Ying are both students at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. They chose a small gathering of famiy and close friends for ther wedding. We were honored to be a part of it.

Congratulations Mike & Mel

They actually got married a while ago, but they finally had the party. Chris and I were honored to shoot the wedding reception of Mike and Mel last month. The luncheon reception was hosted by The Craftwood Inn, in Manitou Springs. It was beautiful day filled with family, friends, and wonderful food. They were a great couple and we had a wonderful time shooting their event. It was a nice departure to not have the pressure of shooting the actual wedding and just having the fun part.

Gaven's First Birthday

Our little Gaven had his first birthday this past Friday July 11th. We had his birthday party a few days earlier to accommodate our shooting schedule and visiting family. My mother, brother, and his family were up from Texas so they got to be a part of the celebration. Gaven got extra excited when the candles were lit and the singing started. He even attempted to blow the out. Maybe eventually I can get some video posted, it was pretty hilarious. For now you can click here for boring old still pictures.

Congratulations Derek & Rebecca

Derek and Rebecca were married Friday July 11th, 2008 at the Penrose House at Turkey Creek. The couple had an outdoor ceremony surrounded by family and friends followed by a "Wisconsin" style reception; complete with burgers, beer, and brats. It was a great party and I'm sure a great time was had by all.
