Unfortunately, I don’t usually get to photograph to many locals from Breckenridge, Colorado. So when I can’t tell you how pleased I was when Lindsay and Charlie approached me about photographing their wedding. I was equally excited to photograph a Dry Gulch Placer that was recently renovated last year by another local, John Cooney. Please enjoy the photos.

Helen called me about photographing their small intimate ceremony this past August in Vail. As much as I like smaller ceremonies, I normally do not have the time to fit them into my busy wedding schedule in the summer. However, when Helen told me that her and Matt were getting married that the Alpine Gardens in Vail, she got my attention.
The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens are gorgeous, and I had never had the opportunity to photograph a wedding there before. I agreed to shoot the wedding as long as they let me work on some of the more experimental ideas I had, and they enthusiastically agreed. The following are some of my favorites from the wedding day.
Location: Vail Racquet Club, Vail, Colorado
It is always fun to have another photographer ask to me to photograph his or her wedding. In this case, Ace has been working as a professional photographer for many years and I was honored when he asked me to photograph his and Gwen’s wedding. Here are some photos from their wedding in Vail, Colorado.
Regular readers of my blog know how I feel helping emerging photographers find their way is my way of giving back to the photographic community. I regular answer questions regarding photographing in several forums across the internet. Recently, I cam across this post:
My external hard drive crashed, how can I get the pictures off anyways?
I am a photographer and lost a couple’s wedding because of the crash, I really need to get them back. I heard you can download some programs that can do it? I have an iMac and it’s a ==brand name withheld== external hard drive.
Often “shoot and burn” photographers will burn the images on to a CD, send them to a client, and then delete the images. Well what happens when that CD gets lost in the mail, or if the client loses it? Unfortunately hard drive crashes are just part of the nature of digital photography. However, loosing a couples wedding photos is completely unacceptable and completely preventable. In the next few paragraphs I want to point out possible ways digital images can be lost, and explain my workflow which, in over a decade of professional photography, has not resulted in the loss of a single image.

Sara and Paul traveled from Phoenix, Arizona last week for their gorgeous Vail, Colorado wedding. This was another couple that really let me experiment with some ideas that I had, and a result, I think we got some amazing photos. From portraits among the wildflowers in Officer’s Gulch, just outside of Frisco, to an amazing sunset at the wedding deck on the top of Vail Ski Area, everything went great.
Images from this wedding will be available shortly at pictage.com.
I love weddings. I know a lot of photographers that get burnt out on photographing weddings, or only do them because “they pay the bills.” Personally, I can’t get enough. All weddings are cultural events. Often the weddings we attend share a culture similar to our own, and the best we can hope for is a different religion, or maybe a different family background to change things up. But last year I had the opportunity to photograph two weddings that were unlike any I had been to before. This is the story of my second wedding in Nepal in Himalayas of Asia.

The concept of a love marriage versus an arranged marriage seems to be of a lot more interest to foreigners than it is to Nepalis. One person I talked to accused American parents of being un loving for not trying harder to find the right spouse for their children. I had never really looked at it that way before. And when I think back to how difficult it was for me to pursue my wife, maybe letting the parents do all the work isn’t such a bad idea. Regardless, I was relieved to know that most Nepali’s do not think an arranged marriage is such a bad thing, and generally the ones that do are free to pursue a love marriage if they like. Read More…
On June 4th, I photographed the Drew and Ashley’s Breckenridge wedding at the Lodge and Spa at Breckenridge. The weather was great, and I got to work with some great vendors including DJ Jay Kacik from Standing Room Only, Julie from Classic Creating Wedding Planning and Design, and the wonderful food from Summit County local, Bill Gilchrist at Gilchrist Catering.
It was my first summer wedding in Summit this season, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Below are some sample images. If you would like to see the rest of the images from their wedding, they will be available soon at: http://pictage.com/1035410
It is always fun when you get to show up to a photograph a wedding on cross country skis. Samantha and Derrick had their wedding at the Tennessee Pass Cookhouse over looking Ski Cooper and Leadville, Colorado as well at the fourteener, Mount Elbert.
You can view the rest of the photos from Samantha and Derrick’s wedding here.
