Betsy and Blake

I had the wonderful privilege to meet Betsy and Blake, and shoot their engagement photos back in September.  We met up, and began our shoot at at Lair 'O the Bear Park, and finished up at O'Fallen Park, along Bear Creek in Jefferson County.  It was a typically beautiful fall afternoon in the Colorado foothills, just west of Denver.  Being a product of Bear Creek High School, I spent my fair share of time in these parks.  I scouted them out for a photo shoot long ago... 

Betsy is a Kansas State alum, and Blake is a die hard Vikings fan from South Dakota.  We spent the afternoon talking about football, Colorado, and their upcoming nuptials in October.  They were very into each other, and I had a great time capturing their images.  I also had the pleasure of shooting their wedding images in downtown Denver.  Definitely one of my favorite couples from 2011; I will share some of their wedding images in my next posting. 

In the meantime here are a few of their engagement images from that day back in September... 

 

Larkspur, Colorado Wedding / Isabel and Matthew

I know, two blog posts in the same week.  Yes, I am feeling ok.  I was able to shoot several weddings this summer, and I've finally been able to find a little time share them.  


Easily one of my favorite weddings of all time, had to be Isabel and Matt's wedding in early September.  Nestled in a picturesque valley south of Larkspur, Colorado, is the beautiful Spruce Mountain Ranch.  I was booked as a second shooter for this one, which gave me plenty of time to hang out with the groom and his buddies.  And, since they decided to stagger the coverage, I was the only shooter after the ceremony ended, which meant that I got to cover the reception.  


I like doing a lot of black and whites, and muted, aged looks, but since there was so much rich color on this day, I decided to leave a lot of the images in their full color.  There was a decidedly Latin flavor which made it feel almost like a destination wedding.  Here are some of their images!
