This past August, I had the honor of photographing Taylor and Matt's wedding at the Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen, Colorado. Although I had been somewhat familiar with the location (after all, I am a native of the front range), I have never had an opportunity to visit the club. Shooting a wedding there was a dream come true for me.
I was contacted the day before, to shoot this wedding. The original photographer called the bride as she was going to the rehearsal, to cancel her services for the next day. Needless to say, it was quite a shock to the couple and their families. Now, I don't want to make it sound like it's all about the photography, and nothing else matters, but... um, well, it kind of is. So much planning, preparation and investment goes into a wedding, and the last thing a bride wants to hear as she's happily going to rehearse for the biggest day of her life, is that "I'm sorry, but I can't shoot your wedding, TOMORROW..." I can't imagine ever, ever doing that to a bride. A professional always has a backup plan, including equipment, and a backup photographer, in case something unforeseen happens.
Fortunately, I was contacted. It was very late notice, but I jumped at the opportunity to shoot a wedding at Hiwan. Although I had never met the bride, it turned out that she is a nurse at the hospital where I worked in the finance department. Kind of a small world.
The concept of giving away his beautiful daughter was a tough one to accept for the father of the bride, but all in all, it was a wonderful wedding. They got married right on one of the tee boxes. Hiwan was everything I'd always imagined it to be. Here are a few random images from that day...
Happy New Year everyone!
It's been a long time since I did a blog posting. I resolve to create posts more often in 2011. I must admit that I'm not real fond of writing. It reminds me of having to do homework, and I hated doing homework. I need to get over that before old age and senility sets in, because I really want to use this forum as a way to share my photography. My kids will probably tell you that senility has already set in, but I guess that's a topic for another day. Oh, and my kids will probably tell you that senility has... wait, I just said that...
Anyway, I was thinking about some of my favorite shoots in 2010. I got to meet and photograph a few seniors; hopefully we'll get the opportunity to shoot a few more in 2011. Seniors have an energy and passion all their own, and it's really fun to be around them.
However, looking back, I think I had the most fun, getting to know Megan and Jordan. We had the privilege of shooting their engagement photos and their Halloween wedding. I think that was one of the really cool things; it's not very often you get to shoot a wedding on Halloween. They really did it up first class, and they made us feel as if we were part of the family. We had a blast!
We shot their engagement photos at Red Rocks, and on the CU campus. The reception was a Mile High Station which is very old and historic in it's own right.
Here are a few of my favorite images of Jordan and Megan...
