Boulder Colorado Engagement Shoot, Portfolio | Chase + Jaime

Friday, April 1, 2011

Chase & Jaime are a down to earth couple.  They love exploring this earth as well.  So when they asked to head up into the mountains above Colorado for a backcountry camping shoot I was all in.  We’ve been planning this shoot for a few weeks now and it was actually my 1st time to Boulder.  They love coffee shops and so that was a perfect place to start.  Jaime loves reading, and thats fitting since she’s a teacher, so this coffeeshop was connected to a bookstore next door.  They are both wedding photographers as well from the midwest.

Later we headed up to the 8,000 feet and found a peaceful patch of woods to explore.  They set up camp and had a relaxing afternoon & evening. We shot until the sun’s warmth left and nightfall became.  Today was a fun day!

Chase & Jaime are getting married later this year at a vineyard in Virginia.  I can’t wait to share that story in early summer.

Santa Barbara Engagement Shoot | Doug & Elizabeth

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Meet Doug, I’d consider him a bold, friendly, and very much in love with his wife.  Not only that but he has the coolest, most clean looking Cherry red, smooth finished authentic sounding 1967 Cherry Red Mustang Convertible.  What a sweet car!  The perfect car to take his Elizabeth on a date.  Elizabeth is a perfect match.  She is sweet, always smiling and loves to have fun.  I enjoyed following them around Santa Barbara as they went on a date.  They are big ice cream lovers, so they headed and got some of their toppings.  Sometimes, toppings can tell a lot about a person. Cruising down state street and then up to the top of East Camino Cielo, a beautiful drive for those who love open roads and beautiful views.  Its always empty up there and yet the views are spectacular, you can see all of the channel islands and into the central coast mountain range, which has peaks that are up to 7,000 in elevation.  The Sierra Nevada isn’t’ the only range in the state.  Driving past all the various vegetation on a warm day brings out the difference scents and smells.  The higher we went, the warmer it got as the subversion air layer from the valley swept over the ridge and made it an amazing afternoon.  Wine aficionados they were, and as the day ended, they chilled on the top of the warm hood of their car and watched the last bit of the sunset going down.  You know those warm evenings where the air seems to still have the warmth of the sun long into the dusk hour?  Yea this was that kind of night.

San Luis Obispo Engagement Shoot | { Anthony & Allie }

Wednesday, December 22, 2010

I can’t get enough of the sunrises in my life.  To me a sunrise is peaceful, quiet, and a new beginning.  Getting ahead of everyone else and watching the sun rise up as the warm rays hit your face.  Just after Thanksgiving this year we lucked out on a beautiful warm sunrise morning and Anthony & Ali drove up from LA and we headed up Madonna mountain to grab these shots.  Its a 40 minute hike up to the top, and as we had to start out with flashlights.  But it was a perfect time to connect as we hiked.  Did I mention I like to hike?  Anthony and Allie love the outdoors and thanks to Jamie our stylist, we came up with this for our shoot.  At the end we cruised down to the beach and grabbed some shots there as well.  Anthony & Allie are getting married at Dolphin Bay Resort later in 2011, a beautiful resort in Pismo Beach.  Enjoy these images!
