You know, we just haven’t marketed portrait sessions, but have done our fair share just from word of mouth. So, we figured it was too long overdue and finally started working on it last month. Without further adieu…click here

Yes, Bella has put Kobi in her jacket, legs and all! Just look at his face - poor thing.

2 of our favorite places, Napa and Moab were on the list so we took some gear and hopped onboard! One surprising place was the Salt Flats and Bonneville speedway! The lakebed was filled with water due to a recent snow, but it made for some really great reflection shots! If you’re ever driving out I-80 and you find yourself with nothing to do - which is pretty much anytime that you’re on I-80, make a stop!

For now, enjoy a few…oh, and as a side-note, don’t get your phone stolen at the airport and break your laptop in the same week while on a vacation. NEVER FUN!


Mostly horizons the first day since we got on the road late…





The next afternoon, it was RAINY and COLD! We tooled around the Russian Valley…





Then made an all-night trek to wendover, UT - Here is a passing train next to the salt bed…


Arches is AWESOME! Love this spot…could have hiked for days!






Entering Colorado - Almost a full one…

Starting at Lucky Strike bowling alley downtown and heading around to some great downtown locations, we shared some laughs, a few drinks and of course, a few snaps! We won’t even mention who won the bowling:) Check em out!

The best was spending some time with some of our favorite people…Jessica from JA Special Events and of course Elizabeth and Michael! If you haven’t stayed at the Estes Park Condos…DO IT! The area is so beautiful! We’ve been joking with Jessica about if you want a very sunny blue-bird day, book Jessica and us! The past 4 weddings we’ve done together have been unbelievable! Casey from TwoOne Photography joined us for the fun and as usual, rocked our world! Check it out…

The sun-drenched suite at Della Terra…

Love this shot!






Um, yes please!





We went up the hill for some more scenic shots!




Jessica NAILED it as usual!!

We use this system in our snowboard boots and if you haven’t tried it, you’ve got to get a pair!! SOOOO easy to adjust and while riding you can get a perfect fit without having to sit down or take of your glove (which I particularly hate!) Anyway, here are few shots from their sell sheets for the Bata Industrials shoe line!


Next week, we’ll be in San Fran for North Face’s BOA line with world champion runner Dean Karnazes! Stay tuned for that!

Michael and Elizabeth treated us to an AMAZING breakfast followed by an amazing esession in boulder! Their wedding is coming up in 2 weeks up at Della Terra so stay tuned for that…along with another wedding from Jessica!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much work put into a wedding! They literally transformed a basketball gym into a BEAUTIFUL venue! Un-be-le-vable! Not hard to imagine from a couple who own a catering company, and now a total event company! Great work guys! Now, Greek Orthodox weddings are lengthy, but when it comes to churches, check this one out! Tough to beat as far as setting! The wonderful Steve Tinetti joined us for this one and we can’t thank him enough!!

If you were a guest at this wedding, click here and sign their guestbook to be notified when we post all the images soon! Anyway, take a sneak peek!

A totally different type of dress! The silver was beautiful!Literally all the guys worked on this real bow-tie. To all grooms thinking of doing a real one, try it first!Getting ready to see his bride!Their first moment together!We ventured over to an open parking garage for a little photo time!The dome!What the dome provides!The paintings were beautiful!The entry to the reception hall!I know we’ve said it before, but lighting is the KEY! Uplights, downlights,A new take on the dollar dance. Just a bit more effective!Look at that concentration on her face!More later! Including some of their photobooth!

This was an easy one because AO and I happened to go to college together! We didn’t know that it was either one of us because we never met face to face during the booking time and let’s face it, we both got finance degrees, so why would we cross paths here! Marisa and AO live in North Carolina and are getting married at the wonderful and beautiful Sanctuary! After tooling around downtown for a while, we stumbled across the tattered cover book store for a hilarious idea! Check out some of the session! We’re really looking forward to your guys’ wedding! Call us next time you’re back in town!You know…you gotta start somewhere!All the lights on larimer st. were lit up…made for some decent night light!

First off, check out our new wedding site! Here’s a little screenshot of the new layout. A bit smaller images, but a lot more “fun”, which we’ve realized after many many weddings that is what we are all about!

Then come back in a couple of weeks because we’ll have our new portrait site up, which has been a long time in the making.

More later!

C and T
