Sarah and Simon’s wedding was a dream wedding for a photojournalist—to put it simply. The day was an emotional smorgasboard –there was laugher and tears from both the bride and groom, and what looked like every single guest present! I’m a sucker for moments that move people to tears–be it tenderness or a good old fashion roast, and I was completely in my element at this wedding. Sarah and Simon are two extraordinary people who love deeply–not only each other, but their friends and family, as well. They treated me as though we had known each other for years. I’m always blessed by this.
…And well, let’s be honest–I’ve been waiting for a shot of a bride and groom smoking a cigarette together for years…. I finally got this from Simon and Sarah. What a riot!
This image is more of a cautionary tale…. family portraits are not always easy to get through!
Check out the views from cocktail hour, and of course the amazing decor inside the Ritz Carlton ballroom—Sarah and Simon have some serious class!

2 people have commented.The pictures are wonderful and truly do this amazing day justice. It was a beautiful union of two amazing people. We love you Simon and SJ. -you did a spectacular job. the colors are sooo vibrant. what a gorgeous wedding!! -Meet Little Lyla Oliver…. the most sweet, and petite little 15 month old! She was like a little doll to work with–and so beautiful. I can’t believe I’m even going to say this, because the last thing I want to do is perpetuate the celebrity obsession some of us have, but doesn’t Lyla look just like baby Shilo? Anyhow, it was a wonderful evening at Wash park with the Olivers—and I owe the pleasant, easy shoot to Baby Lyla!

2 people have commented.Hello from Playa Del Carmen! We haven’t missed a day of not reading your blog, as they have a PC bar/poolside. Muahahaha! The bartender Fidel makes a mean Pina Colada. Yum alert! These pictures look great. Absolutely love the color–Lyla’s blues are stunning!! -great shots julie! i love her big blue eyes! she looks adorable. -Brooke and Bill were married last Friday at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge, and I had the honor of being there to capture all the gorgeous, sweet moments that these two shared with each other and their guests. Brooke was beautiful—simply stunning. I drooled over her dress from Melissa Sweet and seriously would consider renewing my vows just to wear this spectacular gown. Classic and nostalgic, somehow. Bill didn’t look to bad himself—although he warned me before that he abhors getting his photo taken, so I stuck to catching him in the moment. He’s so in love with Brooke that asking him to tear his eyes away from his lovely bride, would have been a shame. I loved the real emotion at this wedding. It’s so clear that Brook and Bill really love each other…. I walked away very happy and giddy for these two.
Brooke’s sister, Mo was a riot! I loved watching her all day—she really wears her heart on her sleeve…
not a cloud in the sky—and only about 75 degrees. Can you think of better conditions for a lovely mountain ceremony?
I love these next two shots. The first kiss is a “standard” shot that we all have to capture during the ceremony as photographers—but WOW! This is an extraordinarily hot kiss!
….now this is my idea of a “family formal”!
I thought this was a hilarious moment… where are these ladies? Europe?

2 people have commented.Julie! I looooove these! Their embrace after the kiss is just stunning… -Julie– yeah!!! We just got back from our honeymoon this morning and are getting back to real life… and it’s such a treat to see some of the photos! We so thoroughly enjoyed working with you at our wedding and we thank you for your fabulous work. We can’t wait to see the rest when you ‘unveil’ them at your studio. It’s like the next party I look forward to. Seriously. Cheers– Brooke -Shami and Dan are pregnant—well, actually Shami is pregnant, but they are both enjoying the glow! And truly, Shami is glowing—her skin is luminous and dewy. Is this one of the perks of pregnancy? Can I take a vitamin for this? I went over to their home and photographed them (on their wedding anniversary) where they had the most lovely, gigantic yard! They also had just had their wood floors re-done, so we had lots of emtpy rooms to play in! It was a wonderful, summer maternity shoot! Happy anniversary, Shami and Dan—I can’t wait to meet the little baby boy when he arrives…

1 person has commented.Love these shots! It’s like we know them just from these few great images. OK, a request for more trade secrets. On a shoot like this, do your clients decide that they want all black and white, or is that your decision? I miss your vivid colors in a collection like this. Next question! How’d you do those slick, edgy borders? C’mon, don’t keep these things to yourself. - |

•Senior Pictures
I don’t advertise myself as a “senior portrait” photographer—-it’s just not my thing. I don’t really care for straightening necklaces and making sure that my subject is perfectly poised in front of some flowers or hugging a tree. But every now and then, I’ll get an inquiry for someone who thinks outside the box and wants me to do their senior portrait–knowing full well that I may break all the “guidelines for the yearbook”. If all seniors were like Alec, I’d be making half my living doing this—he was so great to work with–a little shy at first, but working it like a champ by the end of the shoot. I told him he should do some modeling…
I had to throw in a photo of Alec and his sister—I loved that they didn’t take the shot too seriously… It fit both of their personalities
This is my favorite shot from the day.

Sweet! I’m diggin’ the fence shot. Great stuff as always.
-Your favorite is mine, too. He looks like he owns the town! Ah, to be young and cool again. Well, mostly the young thing, as I doubt even your def (are the kids still saying “def”?) photographic skills could have made me look this cool.
