Colorado is such a beautiful place. Every day, we thank our lucky stars that we have the good fortune to live in this Rocky Mountain paradise. We could spend every minute of every day photographing this state and still not find all the breathtaking views. Don’t even get me started on the weather! We experienced…
Throughout the wedding planning process, there are a ton of decisions that need to be made. Should we get married in the mountains or the city? Do we hire a DJ or a band? What should we serve for dinner? Which song will we play for our first dance? But one question you may not…
Weddings are expensive. And when planning a wedding, it’s only natural to do everything in your power to save money where you can. So you might be asking yourself, “should we negotiate with our wedding photographer?” The short answer? It depends on the photographer. So, what’s the long answer? Some photographers are more than happy…
Another year and another great wedding season in the books! You know what that means. It’s time again to take a look back at the year in weddings (and engagements) with another installment of our annual year-end wrap up. With all of our great couples and venues, we found it extremely difficult to whittle this down to…
We’re behind the Chinese New Year by approximately two years, apparently, because 2016 has been our own Year of the Horse. With Tank and Thunder at Devil’s Thumb Ranch and an unnamed mare at our most recent wedding, we’re starting to sense a trend. One which we happily continued with yesterday’s Colorado horse ranch engagement shoot…
Being avid skiers, Jesse and I absolutely love Vail in the winter; it might possibly be our favorite mountain (shhh, don’t tell Beaver Creek). However, it’s just as spectacular in the summer, especially when you invite your favorite friends and family up to 8,000 ft. for a celebration. So when Andrea and Shawn asked us…
We met Erin and Wade because of a Powerpoint presentation. Erin assembled it to persuade Wade, an analytical type, to book us as their photographers (we hear there were animations involved). And boy are we glad it worked because we got to spend a beautiful Saturday with the couple at their super fun Mon Cheri…
Here’s some life advice: marry someone who will have inflatable raptor fights with you. Leigh and Tyler are lucky to have found their raptor fight partners in each other. Their dinosaur-themed Shadow Mountain Ranch wedding was the perfect laid-back party to celebrate their marriage. The day started with their first look by a quiet stream…
Perhaps the most amazing thing about weddings in Colorado is the fantastic natural beauty of the surroundings. Katy and Adam’s River Bend wedding was no different. Not only was the location impressive, combining red sandstone, a cool river, and bright green trees, they made sure to incorporate Colorado’s wild nature into their wedding details. The…
“Can’t you just Photoshop it?” We get this question at least once per wedding. Maybe it’s an overcast day. Or there are construction cranes in the skyline. Or the ring bearer’s face is red and puffy from crying. One time, a bold groomsman asked if I could “copy and paste” him into the photos later…
I recently read a comment from a bride-to-be on a wedding planning website that caught my attention. The topic of the thread was something along the lines of, “How many wedding photos do I get from my photographer after the wedding?” The bride in question said that she would expect “no fewer than 2,000” photos…
In this article, we’ll be discussing the difference between wedding photo copyright and printing release and talk about which you should expect to receive from your wedding photographer. Let’s dive in. What is a copyright? While the term literally means “the right to copy,” the practical definition is significantly more far-reaching. As an artist –…
