Still working the bugs out a bit, but the debut of the Moody Booth (name pending patent or at least final decisions) is nearing. Thanks to the amazing Chris & Sarah for rocking it out at their wedding last weekend. You guys are amazing!

Soooo last weekend I was VERY lucky to meet little Miss J. Steve & Jennifer were two of my earliest wedding clients and now they’re embarking on the adventure of parenthood! Miss J is just the cutest little thing. She’s so full of wonder and wiggles at just 3 weeks old! I can’t wait until her next session to see how she’s grown. Here are a couple pics from her first portrait session, she wouldn’t stop staring down the camera. Do we have a future model on our hands?!

Emily and Dillon had a gorgeous wedding two weeks ago at the picturesque Wild Basin Lodge outside Estes Park Colorado. They had the whole property to themselves for the weekend and had a wedding celebration that radiated with joy and celebratory goodness. Looking at these photos I get a little emotional, because these moments are so full of love. And these are just the preview images I grabbed to show on my laptop during the wedding day! So there’s more bliss to share, check back soon…

So I’m a little excited to share these photos. A little meaning, I can hardly contain myself because I think they’re so cool and I’m going to show you a ton of photos so I hope you don’t mind and enjoy them more than this run on sentence. Got it? Into it? Good!

Sometimes I feel like things are just meant to be. It’s clear Emily and Dillon are one of those things. They have so much love it radiates off of them. I swear. You can almost hear it buzzing. And somehow I had the good fortune to become their wedding photographer. And then to top it all off, they put a ton of trust in me and just let me do my thang. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results, so much so I’m thinking it was meant to be. And I’m super stoked for their wedding on Saturday in Allenspark Colorado at Wild Basin Lodge. It’s going to be fantastic and beautiful and inspiring. Just like these two lovely people.

So, by some definitions I’m totally copping out on anyone that’s reading here. For which I apologize. I’ve been busy and I could make excuses all day. But instead I’m posting another teaser image from Beth & Brad’s lovely mountain wedding.

Soon I’ll be back with three really great engagement posts, multiple weddings and MAYBE a burlesque shoot. Yup burlesque! I’ve been a busy bee, traveling from Grand Junction to Denver, to Estes to Steamboat and back down the hill for weddings galore. It’s been fun, but I’m so busy! So I apologize for the cop out post, but at least its something!

Soooo I’m about to have a backlog of sessions to edit, but that means plenty of eye candy coming soon. Here’s two from an awesome engagement session yesterday! More fun to come!

Last weekend I photographed the lovely Emily and Dillon, who are so natural and true with one another. It’s refreshing. Plus they were willing to do whatever silly thing I asked. Even visit Tatooine and duplicate themselves. More soooon!

Who knew there was there was a gorgeous perfect spot for a wedding nestled in Estes Park at the YMCA? Brad and Beth did. Genius. Here’s a quick teaser photo of these too looking lovely and brilliant and totally smitten at their wedding yesterday. Brad gave the most wonderful speech thanking his family and friends for joining the couple on their special day. Then he thanked god for making Beth just the way she is and I got all teary eyed and it was bliss.

So my last post on albums is a great excuse to share some of my favorite album designs. A word about album design first.

The current trend that’s prevalent in wedding album design is simplicity. If you were to seek out some of the most notable wedding photographers in the world you’d stumble across loads of albums laid out mostly in rectangle and square formats with photos on white or black backgrounds. One of my favorite photographers, Jerry Ghionis, creates gorgeous, award-winning albums. They’re noted in the industry for their class and elegance. Jerry’s albums are about the photos, letting each one speak for itself and creating a cohesive story–which is what I hope to achieve in my albums. Below is Holly and Bill’s album from their 2009 wedding at Meadow Creek Bed & Breakfast in Pine Colorado. All but the first and last image are 2 page spreads, designed for a 10″ x 10″ square album. Enjoy!
