Zoe and Scott - Wedding Highlight

I have been so exited to get to Zoe and Scott's wedding film ever since I started looking through the footage as I backed it up 3 months ago. It was just one of those weddings where everything that was out of our control went absolutely perfectly -- the settings, the weather, the lighting, and the authentic and expressive love shared by all. 

The day started with lightly drizzling rain and soft white light. By late morning, as we got in the car and drove to nearby Horsetooth Reservoir for the first look,  the rain had ceased and turned into this breathtakingly ethereal scene. There were banks of low-hanging clouds and mist all around the reservoir. Occasionally a golden ray of sunlight would pierce through the clouds and light up the rolling foothills in the distance. The reservoir itself has steeply sloping banks and rocky outcroppings all around it, which make for beautiful vistas in any weather. The entire setting was spectacular. It was truly a moving moment to watch Zoe and Scott get to share their first private moment together in this special place. Their nervous excitement gave way to pure joy and love as they embraced each other, and it didn't leave for the entire rest of the day. By the time that the ceremony started, the clouds had cleared up revealing a classic Colorado blue sky, which continued into the late afternoon as these two celebrated surrounded by their family and friends. It was truly everything that you could hope for in a wedding. 

Zoe and Scott, Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding day. It is such an honor for us, and we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Jillian and Ramit Wedding Preview

This past Saturday I got to shoot my best friend's wedding. Jill and I met in middle school, and she has been one of my closest friends ever since. It was such an amazing honor to get to spend the day capturing her beautiful mountain wedding. She couldn't have found a better match, and I couldn't be happier for her or her new husband Ramit. I wish them all the best in their lives together!

The venue was the picturesque Ten Mile Station, and the wedding planner was Bella Event Design and Planning.

David and Victoria Wedding Highlights

In December, I had the joy of shooting Victoria and David's wedding in Telluride, Colorado. I have shot a lot of beautiful wedding videos in Denver, but the city cannot compare to the absolute magnificence of a mountain town like Telluride. On the day of the wedding, it snowed 8" of snow, making the already gorgeous backdrop even more serene and perfect. 

Victoria and David were a fantastic couple to work with, and their daughter Ava is one of the most adorable babies I've ever seen. This may be my favorite wedding I shot in 2015, and it was the perfect way to close out a great year of weddings. 

Bailey and Jonah - Wedding Photography

This past weekend I had the privilege of shooting stills for my brother-in-law's wedding in Breckenridge, Colorado. The wedding was entirely DIY, with my wife, my in-laws, and the bride-to-be taking on most of the preparation all by themselves, which made capturing all of the small details of the day that much more special. This is the sort of wedding that reminds me just why I love shooting them so much.

In addition to the photography, I streamed this wedding for Bailey and Jonah's friends and family that couldn't make the trip. We had more than 20 people watching from 16 computers around the country. Both Jonah's grandmother in Washington and Bailey's grandmother in Arizona, neither of whom were able to attend, were able to watch the ceremony online. I am so excited to be able to offer that service to other couples, because i saw how much it meant to my wife's family. 

I ordinarily list the names of the various vendors involved in the wedding, and here, that means listing just about my wife's entire family. The flower bouquets were put together by my mother-in-law. The tent for the dinner and dancing, as well as the tables, and the arbor the bride and groom stood in front of were made by my brother and father in law. The officiant was the groom's grandfather.  The catering was provided by my mother-in-law, her sister (aunt-in-law?), and the non-cake desserts were baked by my mom. The groom even forged the wedding bands himself. Every single aspect of the wedding was DIY. There were so many incredible details, and they all just fit perfectly with the attitude of the couple so perfectly. 

Congratulations to my little brother, and my now official little sister!

Gwen and Gianmarco - Denver Wedding Highlight Reel

One of my greatest joys of wedding video is when I get to  capture the wedding of someone dear to me. Gwen has been one of my closest friends since we met at the University of Denver. A few years after that, she and her then brand new boyfriend Gianmarco were guests at my wedding in 2010. I have been privileged to watch their love grow and to see their story unfold. It was an enormous honor when they contacted me in March and asked me to help capture one of the most important chapters in that story.

They were a wonderful couple to work with. Gwen was an absolutely gorgeous bride, and Gianmarco is probably the warmest, most unabashedly smiley groom I've ever gotten to shoot. I could not be happier for them.

The wedding took place at the beautiful Hudson Gardens Event Center in Denver Colorado. 

Adrian and Heather at Riverbend - Preview

Here's a sneak peek of a wedding I shot two weekends ago at one of my all-time favorite venues: Riverbend, in Lyons Colorado.  it was a perfect Colorado day and Heather and Adrian made such a beautiful couple. I'm really looking forward to getting to do a longer edit. 

Special thanks to the amazing Laura Murray for all of her help and wonderful direction throughout the day, to Elite DJ for awesome audio, and to Jenna Jaeger from Table 6 Productions for a smooth, stunning wedding. 

Wedding Live Streaming has arrived!

I'm really excited to announce that I am now offering live streaming of weddings anywhere with 4G cell service! When I'm not shooting weddings, live streaming is a large part of my business, and the technology has finally reached the point where the two can be combined. 

I started looking into live streaming weddings in preparation for my brother-in-law's wedding this August. My wife and my brother-in-law's grandmother is not going to be able to attend the wedding in person for health reasons, which is a major blow to the family. Being the resident family video guy, I set to work to figure out how to downsize my large multi-camera streaming setup to be portable and non-intrusive for weddings. After months of tinkering and testing, and a few wonderful couples who were willing to be my guinea pigs, I finally have live streaming for weddings. All I need for it to work is wifi or a decent 4G cell signal. In addition, I can stream to YouTube,, which is familiar to couples, their families, and even their not so tech-savvy grandparents. 

I truly believe this will be  revolutionary for many my couples, as I know most of them have similar situations with loved ones who cannot attend the weddings.  I'm also pleased to announce that the pricing for this starts at $1199 for single camera streaming with venue provided wifi, when bundled with a full wedding package. While I know this isn't inexpensive, I recently heard a story from a planner about a company that charged $2500 for a same day upload of a single camera ceremony shoot to YouTube, and I'm really excited to be able to offer so much more affordable of an option. I am not in the business of overcharging couples, so it's very rewarding to have a solution that is worthwhile for me while still being accessible. 

As a standalone service, the service starts at $1599. 

That's all for now!
