Brent and Amy’s Wedding

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:34:18 +0000

Silverthorne, Colorado

Amy and Brent are another really fun couple. I was introduced to Amy through her father, Glen, who volunteered with me for Summit County Search and Rescue. The wedding was at the Silverthorne Pavilion, which is an amazing afternoon wedding location. The inside is a good mix of modern and mountain styles, and their is an amazing iron bridge running over the Blue River just outside which makes a great spot for photos.

Enjoy…

Amber and Daniel’s Wedding

Breckenridge, Colorado

Amber and Daniel used to live here in Colorado before moving back East. They are both adventurous spirits with artistic sensibilities so I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their wedding here in Breckenridge. On the way from the Sapphire Point ceremony to the reception in Blue River, we were able to stop for some photos along the river, and at an old historic building in Breckenridge, just down Main Street from my gallery. Of course a return trip to Breckenridge would not be complete without a stop at the Gold Pan Saloon.

Tripod Trepidations

Anyone who knows me from my writing or has attended one of my photography workshops, knows that I am a bit of a fanatic when it comes to using a tripod. In fact, I would rather have a good tripod than a good camera. A tripod is one of the few toys you can purchase that will instantly make your photography better. Assuming of course that you actually remember to bring it with you.

Which, of course, brings me to my story of a mountain biking trip to Fruita I recently went on with my wife, Carin, last month. We were only planning on doing a little mountain biking and heading back to Breckenridge, but an afternoon storm caused us to cut our plans short. Rather than just give up and leave, we took a drive in to Colorado National Monument hoping to get some photos of the sun setting just as the storm was clearing. I always have my camera bag in my car, but couldn’t find my tripod. I tore the car apart before remembering that I left it in the studio. So here I was, the king of tripod advocacy, without my tripod. To make matters worse, the weather and light came together for some incredible views.

I realized the only way to get a decent photo was going to be to place the camera directly on the ground, but if I do that, I need to make sure there was an interesting subject in the foreground. After a little searching I came across a depression in the sandstone that had filled with water from the afternoon rain. Using my hat, and some nearby stones, I was able to prop the camera up in front of the puddle to compose the shot. I also used the mirror lock up and self timer in order to minimize vibration. The image below was the result.

Andrea and David asked me to be part of their small intimate wedding at the Lodge at Breckenridge. They were a great fun couple to work with and the winter weather really cooperated for us making for some relatively warm temperatures and some great views of the mountains.
