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!

Take Care – Jessica (and Andrew too)

Katie and Troy | Married

Jessica — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 06:24:56 +0000

A couple of weekends ago Andrew and I photographed Katie and Troy’s gorgeous vintage-inspired wedding at the Lakewood Country Club. The day was filled with amazing details thanks in part to Kerri Butler with A Touch of Bliss and Katie and Troy’s exceptional LA taste! We had such a great time photographing Katie and Troy…here are a few bunch of our favorites from the day. Enjoy and be sure to leave a comment and let us know what you think!

The couple spent the morning relaxing and getting ready for the big day at the Westin Tabor Center in downtown Denver. Katie’s gorgeous Christian Louboutin shoes paired with her handmade purse were to die for!

Janine Schmenk of Makeup by Janine did a fabulous job with all of the girls makeup…Katie looked gorgeous!

Katie is an animal-lover…so her family pets made an appearance before she got into her wedding gown.

Katie’s “something borrowed” was a stunning pair of Harry Winston diamond earrings that belong to her sister-in-law.

Troy and all of the groomsmen wore Converse shoes with their gray suits!

A special moment between mother and daughter…

I loved Troy’s expression when he saw Katie for the first time…

They did it!

I love this moment of the two of them as they were walking back down the aisle…

The whole wedding party…

The groomsmen looked awesome in their gray suits and pastel-colored ties, but were not to be outdone by the gorgeous bridesmaids in their mint-colored dresses.

One of my absolute favorites from the day…the picture of Katie on the left.

So flippin’ cute together…

This was a funny moment between Katie and Andrew. Andrew was instructing her to place her hand with the bouquet down at her side, but instead he said to “drop the bouquet” to her side. Well, Katie took him literally and she threw her bouquet on the ground…it was pretty funny!

The ballroom at the Lakewood Country Club was stunning with touches of citrus all over the place. Heidi with the Swiss Flower and Gift Cottage did a fantastic job with all of the flowers for the day!

Katie and Troy are both vegan…so the dinner and dessert served at the reception was entirely vegan! It looked delicious!

Denver Design Works did a fantastic job with all of the lighting and decor for the room. The hanging flowers and candles made the dance floor really beautiful…

Katie and Troy danced the night away…

A huge thanks to Kerri and Bridget with a Touch of Bliss for all of their hard work during the day! Everything turned out amazingly!

Katie and Troy – Congratulations! We are so happy and excited for you. Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your very special day. It was such a great pleasure to work with you both and we can’t wait to see where this life takes you! Best wishes!

Hugs ~ Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Jessica — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 05:02:48 +0000

This weekend Andrew and I had the great pleasure of photographing Katie and Troy’s fabulous wedding at the Lakewood Country Club. We first met Katie and Troy in LA for their West Hollywood engagement session…and we knew automatically upon meeting them that they were going to be so much fun to work with! Their amazing sense of style paired with their undeniable love and gratitude for each other made Katie and Troy’s wedding day nothing short of spectacular. Here are just a few sneak peek pictures…check back later for more photos from Katie and Troy’s big day.

Ta Ta for now!

Sarah and Matthias | Married

Jessica — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 03:07:25 +0000

A couple of weekends ago Andrew and I headed down to Black Forest, CO – just outside of Colorado Springs for Sarah and Matthias’ wedding. The entire day fit them to a tee…fun-loving, relaxed and laid back. Sarah and Matthias live in Germany, so they celebrated their first wedding back in May in Minden…surrounded by Matthias’ wonderful family. Sarah and Matthias decided to celebrate their American wedding at the beautiful La Foret Conference and Retreat Center. Andrew and I had such a great time photographing these two…and we feel so grateful to have been part of their very special day. Here are a few of our favorites from the day…enjoy!

Of course Sarah and Matthias had to represent with the German flag!

Sarah chose these shoes partly because of the name, Eloise – the name of her grandmother.

Sarah and Matthias roasted s’mores the night before with their guests…so we pulled a few of the ingredients for this ring shot. Yum!

Lisa Anderson with Sweet Pea Flowers did a fantastic job (as always) with all of the flowers for the day.

A few finishing touches…

Sarah and Matthias’ ceremony was held at the Taylor Memorial Chapel on the La Foret grounds…it was such a cool little chapel.

Sarah’s sister carried a candle in remembrance of their grandmother down the aisle and placed it on the altar. It was a beautiful way to pay tribute to a very special member of their family.

I love the way Sarah is looking at Matthias in this picture.

A few of their portraits…

Their reception was held at the Ponderosa Lodge on the La Foret grounds. Ponderosa was a warm, rustic, log-cabin feeling lodge…it was gorgeous!

As favors for their guests, Sarah and Matthias created these picture holders. The faces of the cube were covered with pictures of Sarah and Matthias in different locations around the world…and the bottom showed their two wedding dates! Very cool idea!

I snagged this one as Andrew was taking the group shot from above…love the German flag again!

Many of Sarah’s closest friends came from all over the country to La Foret for the wedding…

As the reception was starting, Sarah and Matthias told the story of how they met in the form of a poem…it was adorable.

Sarah surprised Matthias with red balloons falling from the ceiling during the famous song “99 Red Balloons.”

Sarah and Matthias – it was such a great pleasure to work with both of you! We feel so fortunate to have been part of your very special day. Have a safe trip back to Germany and keep in touch!

Take Care – Jessica (and Andrew too!)

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 | Married

Jessica — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 21:33:58 +0000

This weekend Andrew and I had the great pleasure of photographing Sarah and Matthias’ “American Wedding” at the beautiful La Foret Conference Center in Black Forest, Colorado. The day fit Sarah and Matthias to a tee…fun, laid-back and relaxed. Here are just a few sneak peek pictures…be sure to check back next week for more photos! Enjoy!

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!

Lisa and Josh | Married

Jessica — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:09:48 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, Andrew and I had the great pleasure of photographing Lisa and Josh’s beautiful wedding at the Boettcher Mansion in Golden, Colorado. Lisa and Josh are quite possibly one of the easiest couples that we’ve ever worked with. They are so full of energy, laughter and fun…you can’t help but love being around them! This was also evident by their amazing family and friends that joined in the celebration of the day. The entire wedding day turned out beautifully thanks to Emily Lenich of Particulars Planning and all of Lisa and Josh’s awesome vendors! Here are some of our favorite pictures from their big day…enjoy!

Lisa’s wedding dress was stunning, adorned with handmade flowers. I loved her dramatic earrings…they tied the whole thing together!

Bling, bling…

Can’t you just feel the excitement as Lisa was getting her veil just right?!?

STUNNING…Seriously woman, you should model!

Their “first look” was very sweet. I think Josh was crying before he even made it to her!

Gorgeous bride…

All of the guys…

And of course, the beautiful ladies…

Josh is an avid runner, so he bought all of this guys a sweet pair of Saucony running shoes.

I loved the girls plummy-purple bridesmaids dresses.

Instead of having “flower girls” Lisa and Josh had “flower men!” Two of their buddies tossed flower petals out of manly silver buckets on their way down the aisle…it was classic! :)

Awwwwwww…

The beautiful back patio at the Boettcher Mansion served as the perfect location for the ceremony.

They did it!

A little off-camera flash…

Lisa and Josh grew up in Kansas…so I think the John Deere fits in quite perfectly!

A few details from the reception…

Lisa and Josh really wanted to do their first dance outside…despite the evening rain. I think the falling rain gives this picture a very whimsical feeling.

Get down…

Lisa and Josh – Congratulations! We feel so lucky to have met both of you and we are so appreciative for allowing us to be part of your very special day. We wish you the absolute best…forever.

Take Care – Jessica (and Andrew too!)

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!)
