Mike & Brandy: Breckenridge Mountain Wedding

Peter — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:39:03 +0000

Mike and Brandy love to ski, they also love the Colorado mountains. They planed a ski wedding on the last week that the Breckenridge Ski Resort was open. Little did they know that mid April this year would feel like a normal May. Colorado has had a VERY dry and warm winter and spring. Although one advantage is the unusually warm and sunny weather. The week before the wedding they skied and enjoyed friends and family in the mountains. Mike hoped for snow on his wedding day and that is just what he got. The day started warm and sunny then mid-day a snow storm moved in. It was just nice puffy spring snow, nothing to harm the plans for an outdoor ceremony at the Sevens but just enough to add to the mountain feel. It was perfect, then the warm reception went into the night as the snow piled up outside. A great day to be married!

You never know what new friends you will make on a desert trip. I met Malachi and Zach back at Delicate Arch. As Poi performers they were looking to create light and I was looking to capture some. It was the perfect partnership! Then Delicate Arch just did it’s thing and we ended up with this!

Jim & Andrea’s wedding was at Mountain Thunder Lodge on a very warm spring day in Summit County. A small gathering with large heart. It was a union of a couple and joining of families, I was so happy to be a part of this celebration. We photographed up on Loveland Pass it really gave a sense of the mountains even more that Breckenridge could offer making for some of the most powerful and dramatic images. Enjoy!

Boulder Winter Engagement Portraits: Brandy and Mike

I had a great time creating Brandy & Mike’s engagement portraits in the snowy mountains west of Boulder, Colorado. It was eventually clear that they were going to have to make snow angels and give in to the fact that no matter how old you are it is fun to play in the snow. Below is their engagement story book, Just click play to check it out.

Evergreen, Colorado: Adam + Lynne’s Wedding Day

Peter — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 16:00:09 +0000

I had a great first wedding of 2012. We started with some snowshoeing…….Really we started the day snowshoeing. Let me explain, for the first two hours of Adam & lynne’s wedding photography coverage we photographed them on top of a mountain in two foot deep snow. I used snowshoes to create a trail that Lynne could use to access the locations we were photographing in. With all the fresh snow the Evergreen area has recently received this made for a beautiful setting for the images.

From the mountain we went on to Rockland Community Church for a wonderful wedding ceremony then on to Hiwan Country Club for the warm and fun reception. Enjoy the images below and leave a comment to let me know what you think or if you have any questions!

Winter can be one of the most dramatic times to the year to photograph, especially with the large red sandstone rock formations contrasting with the snow. Their storybook will feature many of the images from this session, It can be viewed below.

Peter — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:14:38 +0000

The Utah desert is one of my favorite places. I love to climb the rocks, paddle the rivers that carve the canyons and photograph the amazing colors and forms. I was so happy to spend two days photographing the Holmes family in this amazing environment. We are going to be offering a few more Moab area photo shoots in 2012. Please let us know if you are interested in joining us to create desert images for your family. I hope you enjoy these images as I had a great time creating them.
