Conor: Class of 2010

July 26, 2009 – 11:38 am

How does this happen? 20 years ago I graduated high school. Conor wasn’t even born! Really!?!?! WOW! That’s pretty sobering but, what’s inspiring is getting to meet our future. Conor wants to be an orthopedic surgeon. This caught my attention as my father just had hip replacement surgery. It came up in passing and Conor knew more about the surgery than I did! His interest stems from his athletic background and his own personal injuries as a result. Conor is a top notch hockey player and is a part of a nationally ranked hockey team.

I had the good fortune to photograph this young man at his place of employment…that’s right besides being a scholar and an athlete, this young man has a fantastic work ethic as well. He works at a local golf course tending the grounds…not easy labor by any stretch! Conor, I’m excited for you and what your future holds. Continue your hard work and enjoy every minute of it…before you know it…you’ll be attending your 20 year reunion!

Here are some of my favorites. I hope you enjoy.

Dunafon Castle Fairy Tale Wedding

July 9, 2009 – 9:15 pm

She was ear to ear grinning glowing in her love for him. He was quiet and confident in his love for her. As excited as they were for their wedding day they were more excited that they had found each other. Of everyone on the planet…they managed to find their way to one another. The importance of family was palpable every time I had the opportunity to be in the presence of these wonderful people. Pride, passion, and love surrounded them on their most special day and I was fortunate enough to capture it. Blessed was I to say the least.

Of course, people like this and a wedding like this at the Dunafon Castle cannot be done justice without some amazing help. My right hand man Mark Hayes of Mark Hayes Photography was kind enough to lend his services and absolutely knocked it out of the park. An AMAZING photographer and an even better friend I couldn’t have done it without him! The hair and makeup at The Look Salon was AMAZING and the flowers from Denver Blooms were absolutely gorgeous. Kyle from A Music Plus rocked the party with his DJ skills and Walter Mathew from Creative Mountain Images was a true professional videographer and a pleasure to work alongside. Last but certainly not least were the wedding coordinators at the Dunafon Castle, Annie and Annette. If you want an amazing venue and a stellar supporting cast for your wedding definitely give them a call!

Nick and Nikki…I cannot adequately express my gratitude to you both in words. Your love for one another is truly wonderful and I am so excited for what your lives together will bring. Your families were so gracious, kind and welcoming that photographing your most special day was a total joy. Thank you both for just being you and letting me in to document the beginning of your lives together. Here are the first of many more pictures to come. Enjoy!

All my best,
