After a six month break, we are back! Really looking forward to booking and shooting weddings again, so drop us a line if you are getting married…

We have been a part of many weddings with dogs as ring bearers, or included in the wedding day in some way or another. Really some of our all time favorites in fact. Usually couples that are psyched about having their dogs as part of the big day are couples that are also super fun to work with. Here are a few photos of our dogs – they are all red river gorge strays. I found Blue and Solar one cold December morning on the way to climb, and they have been with me ever since. Neville and Luna (yes, we are Harry Potter fans) came along a few years later, from a kind local couple that had taken in their pregnant mother, but couldn’t keep all the puppies. Tania went to pick up Luna, and since Neville was the last one left, she did the right thing and brought him home as well. Not always easy to take care of four dogs, but it is (usually!) worthwhile.

Was really looking forward to this wedding for a while, and it fully lived up to the expectations! Maybe a little bit chilly, but a very fun wedding.

Here are some images:

Just a few more images from Saturday’s Wedding. The reception was at Clifview, the cake by our great friends Martine (Bourbon flavored wedding cake is good!) and catering by Miguel’s Pizza

Krista and Peter – Red River Gorge Wedding!

While the weather was a bit funky during the morning, the sun came out right at the end of the ceremony – a great sign for sure! The ceremony was at Torrent Falls – our favorite venue (though I may be a bit biased since we were married there as well). Peter got a bit of climbing in and sent has project on the first try, then walked two minutes down the hill to get ready for the wedding. Not many venues have that option. Here is the first set of images…

Jennifer and Tyler – plus Ruby, Engagement photos!

Had a great time with Jennifer and Tyler and their dog, Ruby, this afternoon in the red river gorge! Fall colors and blue skies combined with a great couple make photography super fun. Started out with a cool field, then mill creek lake, and finished with some twilight images on sky bridge. Tania and I both love it when couples bring their dogs along, and Ruby did great – definitely earned her treat.

More images from the wedding. I probably have at least four full blog posts with just dancing shots as well, so will try to get one of those up in the next couple days. It has been a lot of fun going back over the photos, just so many cool moments and good times.

Had a great time in Estes Park, Colorado with Julie and Kenny! Fun couple, amazing venue, and a whole lot of my climber friends around. A highlight of the year for sure!

RMNP – Wildlife

I haven’t had a chance to do much wildlife photography lately, but since I was going to be in Estes Park photographing a wedding…

Just a a couple hours to get out to the park, but the elk were really starting to get into the swing of things. Also, we caught a break, and they opened the pass to the other side of the park.

Ballet – Fabric of Dance, 09

Just catching up with some non wedding blog posts…

Love the ballet! Love the dramatic lighting, the movement, the grace, and the music. Lexington Ballet now has a professional company, and they did great for their first performance!
