Photography Blog | The Life and Times of Julie Harris Photo Blog | Photography Blogs. Welcome! This is where I show my work and write about what stirs me. Mary Ellen Mark says, "Reality is always extraordinary". I live by this. I'm a documentary photographer with a thirst for love, life and truth... a true bohemian at heart.

It was only about 22 years ago that I went to my cousin Briana’s first wedding when she “married” my brother, Robbie in our front yard. Totally adorable…
But sweet Briana is now marrying her real her sweetheart, Jim whom I couldn’t adore more… Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend their wedding in June because I am already booked up, but I was happy to get to take their engagement photos and play with them a couple of weeks ago! They are too cute and totally in love. I couldn’t have picked a better man for my little cuz. Love you, girlie! Congratulations to you both!
Jim and Briana’s thing is “Rock, paper, scissors”. I love the series of images below—I’d play “rock, paper, scissors” with Jesse all the time, too if we had this much fun!
I of course had to snag this candid moment with Denver’s skyline in the background…
Mandy and Dan were married in September at Piney River Ranch outside of Vail. And it was PERFECT in every way! Mandy is an amazing lady—she pretty much put this entire wedding together herself. When I say, entire wedding I mean everything from the flowers and centerpieces to the invitations to the jewelry and the place cards. I was blown away by her creativity and patience! On top of this, Mandy even remembered that I love scotch and brought me a very, very nice bottle on her own wedding day! Mandy and Dan are just like that—totally gracious, kind and generous. I love these two and hope that we can continue a relationship. Unfortunately, just a month after the wedding, Dan had to move out of state to work indefinitely. Not much of a honeymoon for the two of them… But I’m hoping that they can spend the holidays together here. Much love, Mandy and Dan—let’s go to Root down again next time you are visiting. And Mandy, darlin—the invitation is always open for cocktails!
Look at this stunning view—majestic!
Dan’s father officiated the ceremony. I love the passionate look on his face during this prayer.
I think the groomsman in the background needs a cocktail!
Mandy’s father barely held it together during the father-daughter dance…
Then lost it!
I’m finally in Paris again–my home away from home. It feels so wonderful to be here—the air, the smell, the sounds, the shopping, the walking, the wine… I could on and on, and I will, but I forgot my card reader at home so until I get a new one this photo will have to suffice. It is a photo taken from my iphone of my private terrace overlooking the rooftops of the 1st arr. Nuf said—life is good.
how sweet! They look like they have so much fun together! I LOVE the last picture, amazing!
