Darcy's Baby Belly Photography l Boulder, Colorado

Here are some shots of Darcy's amazing belly near her home in Boulder, Colorado. We used the South Boulder open space for these maternity shots, taking advantage of the changing fall colors and leaves. Her husband John joined us for some of the photos, so they could get a great Christmas card! Darcy is also a great photographer, so it was fun to collaborate with her!

Michelle & Matt's Wedding l Alpenglow Stube l Keystone, Colorado Photographer

Matt and Michelle got hitched at the top of Keystone Mountain, Colorado. All the guest rode up in the River Run gondola to reach the ceremony. It was a lovely overlook deck with a magnificent view of the Rocky Mountains!

These two lovebirds just moved to Colorado Spring and had me shoot their engagement photos in Golden, Colorado. There are also some Baby Belly shots in there, if you didn't notice the little bump! VIEW THEM HERE.

You can tell by the photos how fun this crew was and how much love was all around, way back there in the mountains.

Scot & Nell's Wedding l Rubywood l Breckenrigde, Colorado

Today, I spoke to a local Breckenridge, Colorado bride who is getting married at Rubywood, a private house up on Baldy Mountain in Breck. This inspired me to post these photos of Scot & Nell's wedding there this summer.

Scot runs an amazing photography booth company (Bamboo Booth) and already had a primary wedding photography lined up when I met him (the fabulous and talented Erin Cady from Art & Soul). He asked me to come and shoot to help create his vision of a Stop Motion Animation wedding video like these by Bayly & Moore.

My favorite kind of bride = Adventurous Ones

Though video editing is still in the works by Scot, I was inspired to go through and pick out my favorites from their fantastic wedding. It was a totally different approach shooting for animation- letting subjects go out of focus, not worrying about "the shot." 

I got to animate blueberries jumping into a glass and flowers and salt and pepper shakers dancing and kissing. Seriously. It was really interesting for me and a fun challenge. Stay tuned for the final video. It should be as awesome as the lovely couple!

First look in the woods behind Rubywood.

  

Everyone loves a good shot of the shoes :)
