Julia and Luke | Engaged

Jessica — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:21:41 +0000

A couple of weekends ago we met Julia and Luke for some relaxed Colorado mountain engagement pictures. We started at the top of Berthoud Pass with some spectacular views of the gorgeous Colorado mountains and then headed up to the top of the mountain at Winter Park. Julia and Luke are getting married next summer at the Meadows of Marshdale and are having their reception at the Evergreen Lake House. We can’t wait for their wedding…it’s going to be a fun one! Here are a few of our favorites from their session…enjoy!

Julia and Luke’s adorable pup Hailey came along for some camera time. She did a great job!

I love when our couples make each other laugh…it makes our job way easier!

Hailey almost looks like she’s smiling in the photo on the left…too cute!

We headed up to the top of the mountain at Winter Park for a few more photos. I love this picture of Julia and Luke as we were traveling up the chair lift.

And of course, Winter Park was purely spectacular with views of the mountains as far as you could see…

Love this sequence…

Julia and Luke – We can’t wait for next June! It’s going to be a blast!

Ashley and Scott | Anytime

Jessica — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:10:34 +0000

Last week Andrew and I headed out in downtown Denver to shoot some portraits for my cousin Scott and his wife Ashley. Scott and Ashley just celebrated their 5th anniversary so it was the perfect timing for some new pictures of the two of them! Their fun, playful nature certainly made them easy to photograph too! Here are a few of our favorites from their session…enjoy!

So stinkin’ cute…

Ashley…you are seriously gorgeous!

Looking bad a*@ on the left…

Scott and Ashley – Congratulations of reaching 5 years! Here’s to many more years of wedded bliss!

Love – Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Sarah and Matthias | Portraits

Jessica — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 06:01:34 +0000

After traveling thousands of miles from their home in Germany to Colorado, Sarah and Matthias celebrated their “American Wedding” yesterday at the beautiful La Foret Conference Center in Black Forest, Colorado. When we first “met” Sarah and Matthias over a Skype video call, we knew that they were going to be so much fun to work with…and meeting them in person this week definitely solidified our first impressions! Sarah and Matthias celebrated their first wedding this May in Germany, so this session wasn’t exactly an “engagement shoot” but it was still fun to go out and shoot some laid-back, relaxed portraits. Here are a few of our favorites from their session. Be sure to check back for some of their beautiful wedding photos! Enjoy!

Katie and Par | Engaged

Jessica — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 09:54:11 +0000

A couple of weeks ago we met Katie and Par for the first time near downtown Denver. Katie contacted us about doing some engagement pictures for them here in Denver, as they are getting married in Chicago. It’s always a little strange to photograph people that we’ve just met…it’s kind of like “Hello…my name is Jessica and this is my bearded husband Andrew…and we’re going to take your picture now…just act natural.” But it couldn’t have gone any better when we met Katie and Par. We hit it off right away and had such a great time photographing them! Now we are so bummed that we are going to miss the wedding! :( Here are a few of our favorites from their session…enjoy!

I love this sequence of laughter…

Isn’t Katie gorgeous?!?

You guys are so stinkin’ cute together!

Katie and Par got engaged under the canopy on the right…so we had to make sure to get some pictures there!

I absolutely love this picture! The almost kiss is always the steamiest!

Katie and Par – Congratulations! We are so happy that we were able to get to work with you both. We wish you the absolute best and we can’t wait to see some of your wedding pictures! If the wedding is anything like the invitations, it’s going to be gorgeous! :)

Take Care – Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Tricia and Brian | Engaged

Jessica — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:17:41 +0000

We are so lucky! We get to hang out with fun couples…who are head-over-heels in love with each other! Tricia and Brian are no exception! We met them a couple of weeks ago for some laid-back Colorado engagement pictures. We actually just photographed Tricia’s brother, Joel’s wedding…and we can’t wait to work with the whole family again! We met Tricia and Brian in Morrison and had a blast shooting at Lair O’ the Bear Park…here are a few of our favorites from their session…enjoy!

Awwwwww…aren’t they cute?!?

L.O.V.E., Love, love the picture on the left of Brian kissing Tricia on the forehead.

One of my absolute favorites from the day…

Check out that rock…

Tricia and Brian – You two are absolutely adorable together and we can’t wait for the wedding next year! It’s going to be awesome!

Hugs – Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Brycen | Brand New

Jessica — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 10:49:59 +0000

I can’t even imagine only being 3 weeks old…crazy! Brycen might just be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen…and you can just tell that his parents are overwhelmed with joy! Andrew and I had the great pleasure of photographing Emily, Travis and baby Brycen last week and we couldn’t have had more fun! Emily and Andrew lived in the same dorm freshman year in college up at CSU and have remained friends through the years! Brycen is an adorable, cuddly, bouncing baby boy and we couldn’t be more excited for Emily and Travis! Here are a few of our favorite pictures from their session…enjoy!

I love this one of Mommy and Daddy with tiny baby Brycen…

I love the picture on the left…so cute! And Travis soothing Brycen on the right…priceless!

Teeny, tiny toes…

What a cute family!

Okay seriously…he is one adorable baby!

Emily and Travis – Congratulations! Thank you so much for allowing us to photograph your beautiful little family. We couldn’t be more excited for you both and we can’t wait to see Brycen grow up!

Take Care – Andrew and Jessica

Sarah and Pete | Engaged

Jessica — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:18:29 +0000

We are so lucky! We get to see people one of their happiest days…and we get to work with some really great people – like Sarah and Pete! We met Sarah and Pete for their engagement pictures a couple of weeks ago. We headed up to Idaho Springs and had a blast shooting in the fun alleyways in town. We had intended to then move up to Berthoud Pass to get some cool mountain pictures…but when we arrived at the top of Berthoud Pass it was completely socked in – we could hardly see 20 feet in front of us from all of the fog! So we decided to meet Sarah and Pete later for a few more sunny pictures in downtown Denver. Sarah and Pete are such a fun couple and we can’t wait for their wedding this September at the Cathedral Basilica of Immaculate Conception and the Grand Hyatt downtown! Here are a few of our favorites from their session…enjoy!

Aren’t they the cutest couple?!? I love the one of them laughing on the left…

We headed over to the train in Idaho Springs for a few shots…

Sarah you are freaking gorgeous! I love the picture on the right!

Just before it started to really rain…we looked behind us and found this full rainbow! Must be good luck! :)

We were so happy to meet Sarah and Pete in downtown Denver for a few more pictures! Her green dress was adorable!

I love this sequence of the next several pictures…

Okay…can I officially just say that I love dresses with pockets! So fun!

Sarah and Pete were so easy to work with! They can even make a boring downtown parking lot look amazing!

We happened upon these cool run down buildings…complete with a sweet old green truck that almost matched Sarah’s dress perfectly! I love the contrast of the old buildings and truck and the newer buildings in the far background.

This reminds me of a movie poster…sweet shot, Andrew!

Sarah and Pete’s first date was at a skate park…so we had to stop and take a few with the skaters behind them!

Sarah and Pete – we had such a blast photographing you guys! You certainly make our job quite easy! :) We can’t wait for the wedding…it’s going to be amazing!

Take Care – Jessica (And Andrew too!)

Lisa and Josh | Engaged

Jessica — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:52:15 +0000

A couple of weeks ago the weather was crazy here in Denver! We had scheduled Lisa and Josh’s engagement session and the evening turned out to be quite rainy and cold…but Lisa and Josh were troopers as we played out in the rain for a bit. We walked around the Belmar shopping district and then headed over to Belmar Park. We got some fun pictures in the rain, but decided it would be fun to head out again when Mother Nature was behaving to get some shots that were rain-free! We met Lisa and Josh for some yummy dessert at Little Man Ice Cream and headed out downtown for a few more photos. Lisa and Josh – we had such a blast with you both and we can’t wait for your wedding later this month! Here are a few of our favorite pictures…enjoy!

I love this one of them peeking around the corner at each other!

Aren’t they cutest couple?!?

There’s that crazy rain…I like the off camera flash though!

Hello GORGEOUS! Seriously Lisa, you should model!

Work it! :)

You can’t be serious all of the time! :)

Lisa and Josh – We had such a great time photographing you guys and we are so excited for the wedding! It’s going to be a blast! (And thanks again for the ice cream!)

Meet Izzy | Denver Children’s Photography

Jessica — Fri, 28 May 2010 17:12:53 +0000

Brian and Gina have been good friends of ours since college. About a year ago they were blessed with little miss Izzy…and boy is she a cutie! Andrew and I had such a great time photographing Izzy last week…here are a few of our favorites from the session. Enjoy!

Izzy’s 1st birthday is coming up pretty soon…don’t you just love her polka dot cupcake shirt?

Her cute toes!

Izzy is full of personality and quite the independent little lady! I love the expression on her face in the picture on the right. Maybe that’s her pouty model face?!?

We had some fun playing with the grass.

Isn’t she beautiful?

I love her one little tooth that’s come in!

I’m pretty sure I’ve given this same look to Andrew on numerous occasions!

Izzy with Mommy and Daddy.

Brian and Gina – thank you so much for allowing us to photograph your beautiful family! We can’t wait to see her grow up!

Much Love ~ Andrew and Jess

Lauren and Archie | Engaged

Jessica — Wed, 19 May 2010 18:35:05 +0000

It takes a special couple to give up control on all of the decisions about their wedding. Imagine not being able to chose your wedding gown, venue, flowers, cake, invitations, tuxes…but instead, leaving those decisions in the hands of complete strangers. I certainly couldn’t have given up that much control! But Lauren and Archie, the winners of the Dream Wedding Giveaway with the Everyday Show and VOWS are perfectly content with the decisions that have been made by the shows viewers. Clearly these two understand that all of those little details about a wedding aren’t the most important part…although they certainly are a lot of fun to plan! Lauren and Archie see the bigger picture. Their wedding day won’t be about all of the little things…but instead it will be a huge celebration of their love with their amazing friends and families standing witness.

Most couples spend a year planning their big day. After nearly 20,000 votes had been tallied and Lauren and Archie were chosen as the winners of the dream wedding, the whirlwind began. Lauren was quickly taken to try on wedding dresses, venues were chosen, invitations were picked…and within about two months time every decision will have been made and the wedding day will be here. All the while, Lauren and Archie have been enjoying the ride and getting more and more excited for their big day.

Andrew and I had such a great time photographing Lauren and Archie’s engagement pictures yesterday! We hit the streets of Cherry Creek and must of looked like the paparazzi. Andrew and I were both shooting and we were joined by the very talented Jeff Siebert with 1321 Studios Videography and a camera crew from the Everyday Show. On a side note, definitely go check out Lauren and Archie’s Save the Dave video from 1321 Studios Videography…it’s amazing! Even with all of those cameras, Lauren and Archie were completely comfortable and did such a great job! Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the session…enjoy!

Lauren is gorgeous and she is going to make such a stunning bride!

I love the sly look that Archie is giving the camera in this picture!

Lauren was looking extra beautiful thanks to Janine Schmenk with Makeup by Janine and Bre Osa with Salon by Bre…

I love the picture of them laughing on the left…so cute.

Seriously…you guys are such an adorable couple.

We headed to a nearby park for a few more pictures before the skies opened up…

Lauren and Archie – we couldn’t be happier or more excited for the two of you and we can’t wait for the wedding next month at Cielo at Castle Pines! It’s going to be a blast! :)

Much Love ~ Jessica (and Andrew too!)
