I generally don’t take weddings past the 15th of October.  I have to cap my “season” somewhere and mid-October leaves me some time to enjoy a little fall in Paris.  But Danielle and Trevor walked into my studio and sat down and I fell in love with them.  They are super laid back, bourbon drinking, pool playing, local natives—and the plans for their gorgeous fall wedding got me to cross my own boundaries and shoot a wedding on the 22nd of October.  And I’m so glad I did.  The weather was perfect, their venues, The Rysby Chapel and Lone Hawk Farm are two of my favorite places to shoot, and when I heard about Danielle’s dress… well, I’ll just let it speak for itself.  Glad this was the wedding that wrapped up my extended season.

    Gorgeous Julie!! The bride and her Dad before they walked down the aisle is amazing. You really should submit that image, the lighting is perfect and with the picture of Jesus above them... wow!! Has that baby come yet? The end and past the end is so hard because you just want to meet the little person that has existed inside for so long... hang in there, it is so worth the wait.

    I just love her dress! Beautiful capture of the entire day.

    I love how clean your b&w's are. They make the entire image about just the emotions -- the girls sitting during the ceremony, for instance. Really great work...

    Julie, I was logging in for a baby update and came across your latest post. What a nice surprise! I want to express how thankful Trevor and I were to find you, get to know you and have you document this special day for us. In addition to the amazing photos I had seen of yours (causing me to gently stalk you :-)...from the start, with your carefree spirit and fun energy, you just “felt right”. The appreciation you have for life’s moments - from the subtle ones to the silly ones to the heartbreakers - and your ability to capture those moments so tangibly is truly incredible. Thank you SO much for sharing your gift with us -especially with the exciting things you have going on in your own life. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best as you welcome your new baby girl into this world!

I seriously have about 20 weddings left to blog from the 2011 season… They will be trickling in for the next few months in no particular order.  It’s actually nice to go back and look at these weddings after some time has passed.  The “moments” really stand out and I’m inclined to leave some of the more traditional work out.  I think these next posts will tend to be more on the documentary side and trend away from the “pretty, wedding photography” that I often feel I “should” post.  I hope you enjoy…

Sarah and Gabor were married in July at the Grant Humphrey’s mansion in Denver.  It was a hot one, and the light was pretty impossible during the ceremony, but the party was a riot and the cocktail hour lent itself to some great moments.  I don’t even need to mention the fact and Sarah and Gabor look like a couple that stepped out of a magazine…  and to top it all off, they are my neighbors so I especially connected to them.  Oh, and we share the dark and stormy as a favorite cocktail.  Gosh, I miss those…

Dreaming of Ramona
January 03 | 2012

Today is my birthday and I’m taking it easy.  I should probably go for a swim or a long walk to encourage my little monkey to come today–because truly, that’s what I’d really like for my birthday, but alas–I don’t think she’s quite ready.  Some things can only be hoped for and I’m sure Ramona will appreciate having her own birthday.  We’ll still celebrate our January birthdays together.  I’ll pull her out of School for a week and we’ll go to Paris… or we’ll go shopping together and bake each other cakes.  I simply can’t wait.  I can’t believe how transformative these last 9 months have been.  I never knew I even wanted children and now I’m completely in love with a little person in my belly that I haven’t even met yet.  My soul is at peace and I feel different somehow.  I’m a better person.  More alive–like my life has a different purpose other than partying and living for myself.  I can’t wait to meet her.  So today, on my birthday, I’ll keep dreaming of this little bean and spend some time putting the finishing touches on her room…  which happens to be the best room in our home.  Only the best, I guess for Ramona….  Cheers, little lady–to our January birthdays.  I am eagerly awaiting your arrival.

    Oh man, tears just flood to my eyes. I can't believe you're about to have a little baby! Ramona!?!?! My heart can barely take it. I know the feeling you described, which is what got the waterworks going over here. What an amazing feeling that is. I'll be praying she comes quickly and that your experience is amazing. Good Luck Julie! PS the room is just perfect.

    Julie. Your writing, your wording, your lens, your spirit, absolute perfection. The simplicity and depth of sharing the same month of birth as your precious peach and the potential for trips to Paris together... leave me breathless, wordless, and in complete awe of your connection to your sweet Ramona already. I couldn't be more moved by this post. I'm in tears, taking in some of your best work.
