Megan-and-Jeff-5814

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Megan and Jeff for over a year now. I first fell in love with them when we met up to take some engagement photos a year ago, May.  Megan and Jeff met me at Pints Pub, and we shared a bear and got to know each other—always a good start to a photo shoot! ;) Megan and Jeff also brought Megan’s son, Tanner to participate in the engagement shoot, which was the cake topper to our first “encounter”.  Watching Megan and Jeff—totally in love with each other, and also in love with little Tanner, I fell head over heels…  Megan and Jeff are a like a happy Cameron Crowe film…  I could watch them day after day, and be inspired by love….

Megan and Jeff tied the knot on June 27th (this should tell you how behind at blogging I am) at Lone Hawk Farms in Boulder. I knew I liked Megan before, but when she picked the venue that I had originally picked out for my  own wedding 5 years ago, I knew we were meant to work together!  The whole day was simply  perfect, from Megan’s knock out dress,  to the dramatic sunset….  It was a midsummer’s  dream, really.

Tanner was a bit overwhelmed with the whole wedding hoopla….  I think he was actually a little afraid of the way his mother looked in a long white gown. But Megan gave Tanner his space and finally enticed him to come in, by bribing him with grapes…

…and then he walked her down the aisle along with Megan’s father—sooooo sweet!

I was so nervous about the harsh light during the ceremony—-but when I was looking over the images a few days later, I started to really appreciate the dramatic light. Aside from the beautiful emotion, I actually think the light adds to the impact of these images.


Koozies have to be the most underrated “party favor” out there.  I’m not even kidding when I say, I’ve been thinking about carrying “julie harris photography” koozies at the studio for awhile now. This is just another reason why I love Megan and Jeff so much!

Sometimes I ask my clients to do silly things for the camera.  When they participate, they generally end up laughing– which lends to a truly authentic image.  Sometimes they don’t participate at all .   And Sometimes half do, and half don’t—I think this is what happened in this image, but I love it!
