Mattie + Kevin | Engaged

Jason — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:17:43 +0000

Gina’s Take:
Maggie is a Cincinnati girl. Kevin is a Nashville guy. She was raised with family ski trips to Breckenridge and adventures at King’s Island Amusement Park. He hails from Music City and still loves the art of listening to a record. While both their hometowns boast respectable universities, they each had a desire to head west to Colorado. Although I’m partial, I honestly can’t blame them. Their paths immediately crossed at CU Boulder during their freshman year. However, it wasn’t until they reconnected in their Sophomore year that things heated up for this duo. Their backgrounds are different, but Maggie and Kevin share a love of music, movies, and the arts. Their Boulder wedding will incorporate all these passions with their reception at none other than the Boulder Theater.

Jason’s Take:
We love our home. Tucked in the suburbs of Denver, we live at the end of a cul de sack. Our backyard is home to more than enough grass, plenty of trees, a trampoline, and a respectable vegetable garden. Our neighbors are salt of the earth. In fact, during last week’s snowstorm I looked outside and thought, “I should shovel the 18 inches of snow from our driveway”… and found that our neighbor had already done it for us. An ice-cold Fat Tire microbrew, a conversation about Apple products, and a handshake was all the thanks necessary for our generous neighbor. We’ll never leave.

We may, however, add another home to the mix someday. A home just like Maggie’s parent’s vacation home in Breckenridge. Maggie’s family has traveled to their home in the woods for as long as she can remember. Within walking distance to town and a 5 minute drive to the slopes, their gorgeous log cabin is perfect. Exactly what we dream for; a gravel driveway, walking trails, no fences, surrounded by trees, and just far enough from everything to feel wonderfully secluded. It’s a perfect place to ski or hike by day, and snuggle in the evening in front of a favorite movie… with a local brew, of course.

Malorie+John | Engaged

Jason — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:18:40 +0000

Gina’s Take:
An adventurer at heart, John plays hard whether here in Colorado or around the world. Skiing, traveling, hiking, diving… you name it and I’m sure he’s done it! Meet Malorie. She travels, skis, hikes… wait a minute… yep, they’re a perfect match! Whether they’re on top of a mountain, out at sea, or studying at CSU, they’re home because they’re together. John and Malorie are both Colorado kids. Who would have thought that back in high school that this cute girl would be John’s future bride? They love our Denver sports teams and you can find them enjoying a lazy summer day at a Rockies game, a brisk autumn afternoon at a Broncos game, or a chilly evening supporting the Colorado Av’s.

As Colorado natives, it is only fitting that they attend CSU, were engaged in Vail, had their engagement session in Boulder, and are getting married at a beautiful venue in Castle Rock.

Jason’s Take:
Malorie and John had one request for their engagement session… to throw on their CSU jerseys and take a quick picture on the CU campus. Since Gina and I don’t have any particular history or loyalty to CSU or CU, we were totally open to the idea. However, we didn’t realize that CU had a football game on that sunny afternoon in Boulder. To make matters worse, CU got slaughtered. After we spent some time shooting around Pearl Street Mall and in Boulder Canyon, we ventured onto the CU campus about a half an hour after the game was over. Malorie and John dawned their CSU jerseys, Gina stayed with the cars (supposedly to watch the cars, but I think she was just too scared to venture into ‘enemy territory’), and we snuck out for a few pics. Malorie and John had a blast with it!! Thankfully, there were no confrontations, no injuries, and we got the heck out of there!

Carrie+Derek | Married

Jason — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 22:33:38 +0000

Gina’s Take:
Wow, it just hit me that the 2011 wedding season is over! I know that revelation may seem delayed to some of you…well, probably all of you… but it is totally just sinking in for me. Just when I’m feeling like I’ve hit my stride, that year’s gone. It’s over before I know it. One of these years, I’m going to get our Christmas presents bought before the last-minute! Or get around to scrapbooking the thousands of pictures I have waiting. Or keep a running routine all year-long. Or be completely caught up on laundry, dishes, and work all at the same time! Blah, blah blah. The list goes on and on and I didn’t achieve everything I expected of myself this year. Now, I could get all legalistic on myself for not being perfect, and definitely have gone that route in the past. However, this year instead of resolving to try try try harder, I’m resolving to let go. Our lives are rich, full, imperfect, and slightly chaotic. This year I’m cool with that.

Jason’s Take:
Estes Park is an unbelievable hidden gem in Colorado. When I was a kid, my grandparents took my sister and me to Estes Park every year. We had a blast buying touristy toys and eating salt water taffy. As an adult, I easily skip the toys, the touristy areas, and the taffy (although I usually have to stop with Gina for taffy)… and instead, I marvel at the beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park. Having grown up in Colorado, I often take this magnificent state for granted. I admire the sharp edges of the mountains that explode out of the ground with awe and wonder. The magnitude of the scenery punches me in the chest every time we drive over the pass into Estes.

Carrie and Derek selected a stellar location for their wedding in Estes Park. This adorably affectionate and lighthearted couple enjoyed their gorgeous October wedding with friends and family at the Della Terra Mountain Chateau. Nestled in the forest on the side of a rather steep slope, this outdoor wedding venue supplied a perfect rustic, elegant experience.

Thank you to all of the fantastic wedding vendors that orchestrated this amazing afternoon: Brynn and Amber with Save the Date Events, Jenny from Plum Sage Flowers, Samantha with Lady Charm Artistry, Herbie (the Love Judge), Raising Cain (Band), Pink Posy Design (Candy Buffet), Dbar Deserts (Cakes).

Cassie+Luke | Married

Jason — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:53:03 +0000

Gina’s Take:

I’ve never seen a New England Autumn. From what I hear they’re overwhelming. I have to experience this explosion of colors (*translation: Jason, I’d like to go to New England in the fall – lol)! However, I must admit, I’m partial to Colorado Autumns. I love the Rocky Mountains. Seeing them ablaze with golden aspens is more invigorating than a day at the spa. September and October weddings have become some of my favorites with the lingering Summer warmth and brilliant Autumn light. Cassie and Luke had one such October wedding at the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield. With an outside ceremony, cocktail hour, and a tented reception, Jason and I were in paradise!

Jason’s Take:

I had just spent a week out-of-town, photographing Lacey and Nick’s wedding in Hawaii. As much as I love the beach, I have to completely agree with Gina. I was so happy to back home in Colorado, just in time for Cassie and Luke’s wedding. The vibrant Autumn sun and warm dry heat reminded me of lazy afternoons spent fly-fishing deep in the mountains. Thank you, Cassie and Luke, for choosing us as your wedding photographers and for spending the afternoon in a field with the people who mean the most to you. We enjoyed every minute of it with you.

Thank you to all of the vendors that made for an absolutely beautiful day! (Brynn with Save the Date Events, Shawn with Event Rents, Colbert with Footers Catering, Mary with the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, Nate with A Music Plus, and Samantha with Lady Charm Artistry (hair and makeup).

Emily+Mike | Engaged

Jason — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:21:02 +0000

Jason’s Take:

Santa delivered snowboards to our home this year!!! We love the outdoors – and always have an excuse to get out there! Gina’s snowboard came on Christmas morning. Mine came about two months early (thank you Gina!).

We’re both new to snowboarding. As a Colorado native, I’ve been skiing for over 20 years. Last year, however, I called it quits on ski boots. There had to be a better way! During Spring Break (when the mountains got epic snow every day) we took a family snowboarding trip. After one lesson, we were all converts (sorry skiers – we still love you, and feel sorry for your feet in those boots).

Emily and Mike live in Breckenridge, they’re getting married in Breckenridge next year, and they both work for the Breck ski resort! Naturally, it only makes perfect sense for this adventurous couple to have their engagement session up on the mountain, too. Gina wasn’t quite ready to take her camera gear up the hill on a snowboard. I was willing, relatively able, and totally excited to do it! Emily and Mike were very patient with me. As a snowboarding instructor supervisor, Mike lives in a world of being patient with newbies. Their engagement session was incredibly fun and spontaneous. Their natural affection and love was as radiant as the unfiltered sun.

Thankfully, I didn’t destroy my gear in an epic crash. Emily and Mike both complimented me on my progress (especially for this being my 5th time on a board). We can’t wait for their wedding next summer – different look, but perfect location!

Turtle Bay Resort Wedding Photography | Lacey + Nick

Jason — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:22:40 +0000

Jason’s Take:

I arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii at 2:30 on Monday afternoon with Julie Gambrell (fantastic wedding designer – Classic Creations). Honestly, all I wanted was Chipotle. I quickly discovered that the nearest Chipotle was an ocean away. After a few deep, calming, breaths of warm Pacific air, I settled on the fact that it is ‘okay’ that there’s not my perfect restaurant in Hawaii. Rather, on the North Shore, there were these little trucks (or permanently placed school busses) with the world’s best fresh shrimp plates. I couldn’t believe how satisfying a plate of shrimp could be, served out of the back of a bus, after a surfing lesson.

On another note… During the surfing lesson, while I was paddling back out to the breakers, I spotted a monk seal right next to me and my board. Surreal to say the least! When I told Gina about the seal spotting (instead of being excited) she gasped, paused, and said, “You know… sharks love seals.” Gina may not have entered the water. Period. She has a fierce fear of sharks (yet watches every episode of Shark Week). The last picture of this post is of a monk seal that came up onto the beach during the trash the dress session. I’m pretty sure Gina would have locked herself in the car right about then.

Lacey and Nick were the most gracious couple I think I’ve ever met. When Gina and I travel for weddings, we give our time to the couple. Whatever they want/need – we’re committed to it. During this solo trip, Lacey and Nick continually checked in to make sure I was having a wonderful time and made sure that I took all the time in the world to explore the North Shore.

Thank you – Lacy and Nick. I had a wonderful experience in Hawaii – and have even fonder memories of our times together on the beach, documenting the beginning of your new chapter in life.

Thank you – Julie Gambrell (Classic Creations). We share some really fun experiences spotting turtles, exploring shrimp stands, surfing, walking in volcanic craters, and of course Skyping home to our families while driving on the North Shore highway.

Gina’s Take:

Sharks terrify me.
