"Mortgage Team Assemble"

While in Colorado a few weekends back, I took head shots for Peoples Mortgage of Denver.  Lucky for me, they were open to more unique head shots, not plain simple background shots - these are my kind of lenders. I love downtown Denver and their office is located at 15th and Wynkoop - an awesome part of downtown near the Pepsi Center which offered some great buildings to shoot by.  The image to the right was just for kicks and reminds me of Anchor Man when Ron Burgundy calls upon his team for a news team throw down..."news team assemble."  Additionally, Chris and I used Peoples in Kansas City when buying our house, they are an awesome company and I highly recommend them! Thanks guys for a fun shoot.

Photo of the week - Have a great Valentine's weekend

Kona LOVES looking out our front window and barking at: the mail man, squirrels, and birds. We really should walk her more.  In honor of Valentine's Day - this is for Kona...

My favorite wedding details

This post is a look back at the small details that make weddings special. Of course you need to book the venue; find the dress and much more but don't underestimate the details. I personally think it is the small touches that make it unforgettable for you and your guests. The place cards, the programs, the flower in your hair...all small details that can tell your guests so much about your personality, your relationship and what matters the most to you. Here are images of just that; the great details that tell a story and make your wedding truly unique to you. These are comprised from weddings I have shot over the years and I hope they give you some ideas and inspiration for your own wedding! Enjoy.

Everyone remembers their childhood treat - Hostess Cupcakes! Jason decided to incorporate this treat and make it his groom's cake - what a fun idea! Their program was also unique and special to them since they went to rival schools - Mizzou vs. Kansas! This was also their Save the Date, a super cute and different idea. The garter is  a reflection of Erica and her Mizzou background. 


Laura and Matt gave traditional flowers a wow factor by adding fruit to the vase, like lemons and limes. They also included limes on their wedding cake...bringing it all together. Custom invitations and programs gave the wedding a theme and natural progression - have fun with them! Live music during the ceremony and cocktail hour is a great way to set the mood and tone of the wedding

.

Laura spiced up her bouquet by having the florist add something special to her all white bunch. Bridesmaids wore these awesome hair pieces that Sarah (a bridesmaid) found on eBay! For the seating, Laura and Matt used mountains to identify table placements for their guests - a cute idea since the wedding was in Colorado! Drawing ideas from your location is an awesome way to incorporate your interest and personality. Cocktail hour is always a nice transition from the ceremony to the reception and the JW Marriott of Denver had a really neat outdoor courtyard for the wedding guests.


Lighting at a reception can go a long way and really add an elegant touch to the room. Mindy Price with JW Marriott, Denver coordinated Laura and Matt's wedding. I think this pink lighting is really cool and brings everything together. Laura and Matt had guests sign a mat that would then be used to frame a wedding picture of their choice - a neat way to keep those memories forever. Entertainment doesn't always have to be in the form of a DJ or full band, Laura and Matt hired Wes Yoakam (http://www.wesyoakam.com/) and he was an incredible one man band!

Photo of the week - wish I were here!

A couple weeks before Christmas I joined my hubby for a work trip to Clearwater, Florida.  He obviously had to work but I spent most of my time on the beach trying to catch some rays. The sea birds are especially friendly in Clearwater and very curious...most of images include birds that had no problem getting close.  This one in particular waited for me to abandon my bag and towel to swim in the ocean so it could get a better look. As I look back at my stuff from the ocean, it was standing on my towel...awesome.  So here are a few shots of the beach and birds! Cheers.

Picture of the Week...A sign for 2010, I hope!

I was cutting bell peppers the other day and this was on the bottom of one of the peppers...crazy! I have never seen anything like it and it is so clear.  You always hear those stories of people seeing Jesus or the Virgin Mary in their food or on an iron or something strange. - This may not be a sign from above but I'll talk what I can get!

Hearne Family shoot

It had to be the last nice day of 2009...the sun was shining, the last of the leaves were falling and it was a perfect portrait shoot day. Jade and Drew have 3 great little girls who managed to stay involved with the shoot despite dragging them all over Loose Park. They were silly, fun and ready to toss leaves in the air! I especially like the swing pictures because that is when they forgot they were being photographed and I was able to capture their personalities and smiles. Thanks Hearne Family!
