Denver, CO Engagement Photographer – Becky and Jason

admin — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:42:00 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing Becky and Jason in the Hitched in the Highlands race a couple weeks ago. They came in second-place and was awarded an engagement session with me (amongst a ton of other great prizes)!

These two are world travelers…they just returned from a 6 month journey around the world! WOW!! Jason proposed in India and now they are set to be married this September! They brought their golden retriever along for a few shots…his name is Taj (after the Taj Mahal). So fun!

Here are a few of my fave shots from the evening.

Featured! Destination Inspirations, Pursuit 31 and LSI

admin — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 20:36:19 +0000

Wanted to share a couple features from the past couple months that I am totally honored to be a part of!

First, Destination Inspirations is a fabulous blog about inspiring destination weddings from around the world. I was honored to have them feature Danielle and Dave’s Jamaica wedding!! Here is the link to the BLOG POST. Thank you Jessica for sharing my work with others, much appreciated!!

Next, was a branding/marketing feature on the Pursuit 31 blog. Pursuit 31 has an amazing mission…keep God, families and marriages your number one priority in life. When running a small business sometimes it is difficult to remember that the important things in your life should always remain #1. When Karen asked me to share about my branding, I was beyond thrilled. I really enjoy sharing about my business and what a better platform to show people the goods of KDP. :-) Here is a link to that BLOG POST.

Lastly, was a personal interview at LSI (Learn Shoot Inspire). LSI is an amazing group of photographers, who mostly specialize in kiddo and newborn photography, however, there are a few of us wedding photographers. :-) I LOVE doing personal interviews…seems I always learn a little something about myself when really thinking about my answers. I had a fun time pulling up some of my favorite images to showcase, too! If you want to learn about the person behind KDP, here is the link to the BLOG POST.

Big shout-out to everyone who took the time to ask me to contribute to their blogs. I am super honored and LOVE each and everyone of you, you are doing a fantastic job!! Keep on doing what you are doing!!

Denver, CO Wedding Photographer – Hitched in the Highlands 3!

admin — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:02:45 +0000

So, this is my third consecutive year being involved with Hitched In The Highlands and I have to say, it is one of my favorite events of the year! In a nutshell, 13-15 couples race through the Highlands neighborhood for a chance to win a FREE wedding!! The winners, Andrew and Megan, won and are now getting married in TWO months at the beautiful Mile High Station!

This year the couple had PERFECT weather to race 2+ miles while stopping at different businesses to complete a set of tasks. I was stationed at the start line, Happy Cakes Bakeshop, Menchies Frozen Yogurt and Plum Sage Flowers. I had a BLAST photographing the couples as they raced through their tasks! Even got to see a photo-finish for third place, which was oh so exciting!!

Congrats again to everyone who participated! Below are a few images from the race…however, if you’d like to see the entire photo album, just visit the Facebook album Hitched in the Highlands.

Featured on Learn.Shoot.Inspire. today!!

Very excited to share an interview/getting-to-know-you feature on Learn.Shoot.Inspire (aka LSI) today. I was honored when they asked me to be featured on their blog and had a blast putting together all my answers…LSI is a GREAT resource for all types of photographers. The blog is filled with awesome information, but the bulk of the learning is done on the forum, which is subscription-based. They also have some amazing workshops from the likes of Sarah Ulrich and Stephanie Robin. Here is a link to their FACEBOOK PAGE, too.

Wedding Thank You Postcards…

admin — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:48:33 +0000

I just had to share this awesome thank-you card I got in the mail from my fabulous wedding clients, Danielle and Dave. I photographed their Jamaican wedding back in December and just LOVE what they did with their thank-you postcard! Using a collage images from the wedding, they created a postcard to send to all their guests. A fun way to re-live the special day (and less-expensive postage!). Thanks for sending me this, I truly enjoyed being a part of your special day!!

And, for those of you wanting to know where I got the awesome prop holding up the postcard, the glass milk-vase was purchased at Sundance and the light-up branches were purchased in Michigan (don’t know the store name), but THESE are similar.

Denver, CO Engagement Photographer…Brittany and Will

admin — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 09:34:17 +0000

I met Brittany and Will this past weekend at a fantastic bar near downtown Denver called the Candlelight Tavern. This is where Brittany and Will met (at the JuteBox to be exact). They have some amazing beer specials, so if you are thirsty, hit up this bar! :-)

After a few shots at the bar and a quick clothing change, we headed downtown to get some shots down by the museum and meet up with Brittany’s parents to pick up their dog, Murphy. Murphy was an absolute rock star and also an integral part of their engagement (which has a soft-spot in my heart since my dog was part of our proposal, too).

B & W, I had a FANTASTIC time photographing your e-session and Tami is looking forward to shooting your June wedding at the Denver Athletic Club next year! Enjoy the pics!!

Red Rocks Engagement Photographer…Kim and Nick

admin — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:10:42 +0000

This past weekend was absolutely BEAUTIFUL in Colorado!! Upper 70′s to Mid-80′s and sunny!! So, it was a perfect weekend for a few engagement sessions.

First up is Kim and Nick. Kim and Nick were actually runners-up from the Hitched in the Highlands race, which is put on each year by Happy Cakes Bakery. I donate a complimentary engagement session to the runner-up couple each year and was excited that Kim and Nick were my models for the evening. They even brought a very special prop…a ’65 Mustang (comment below if I am incorrect on that date, Kim). :-)

We shot up at Red Rocks and got some beautiful fall-colors…hope you all enjoy the images!!

Mackenzie and Dominic are getting married next July at a beautiful venue called Cielo at Castle Pines.

Denver, CO Engagement Photographer…Cathi and Derek

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:36:32 +0000

I just LOVE this couple! They are so much fun, so full of energy and obviously are so in love! I met Cathi and Derek in downtown Denver this past weekend to shoot their engagement session. It was a perfect almost-fall day and we got some fantastic shots!

We started with a few portraits inside the Tattered Cover Bookstore and then walked around several blocks before ending at Union Station.

Cathi and Derek are getting married at a beautiful boutique hotel called The Inn at Cherry Creek next May, looking forward to photographing your big day! Enjoy the pics!

Cathi and I have a mutual in friend in common. I went to HS with Nancy and Cathi knows Nancy from an online knitting group, small world. So, we thought we’d take a picture of the two of us for Nancy! (nice photo skills Derek!)

Denver, CO Engagement Photographer…Alyssa and Dan

admin — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 15:29:39 +0000

We just love Alyssa! The boys love Alyssa! Once I started downloading all the images to my computer Ryland was just so excited to see Alyssa and Dan on the big screen. :-) See, Aylssa is one of our babysitters here at the Doolittle household. She is actually from Spokane, WA and I met her through Andrea and Craig’s wedding last year. She is so great with the boys, so the least I could do was to take some engagement pictures for them. They are getting married in beautiful Spokane, WA this September and I wish them both all the best!!

We met in Denver, CO (in between rain storms) and had a blast walking around a local park and taking some awesome pictures. They are both naturals in front of the camera, so my job was super easy! Hope you enjoy your images!!

San Francisco Engagement Photographer…Kate and Jesse

admin — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:41:26 +0000

I absolutely love San Francisco! And, when the city is paired with sunshine, it is hard to beat!

I met Kate and Jesse down at The Warming Hut at Crissy Field about a week ago to do their engagement session. The live in the SF area, but are getting married in Denver this summer. We had a great time exploring the area, including a trip to the Wave Organ, which is where they got engaged. Although is was a little chilly outside, you just can’t beat that California sunshine, makes for some pretty beautiful photos!!

Wanted to give props to Veronica, who is a photo-board friend of mine…she helped out on the shoot and suggested some great locations. Thanks girl!

Kate and Jesse…so excited for your wedding this summer!! See you in a few months!

Phoenix Engagement Photographer…Daniela and Case

admin — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 13:27:25 +0000

Daniela and Case were gracious enough to model for us during our mentoring session in Phoenix, AZ. They were SO MUCH FUN!! Seriously, we had them out in the middle of the desert, then had them tag along to the Scottsdale airport for some more pictures. They were upbeat, stylin’, funny and very photogenic!! THANK YOU two sooooo much and I wish you all the best for your upcoming wedding in October! Here are a few images from their shoot:

Lone Tree, CO Engagement Photographer…Melissa and Tom

admin — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 21:57:46 +0000

About a week ago I photographed Melissa and Tom down in the Lone Tree area of Colorado. They are getting married in Cape Cod this December and they were SO MUCH FUN to work with!! They are completely in love and very easy to take pictures of. We had a very laid back session and even played a little Valentine’s Scrabble game with a set I purchased on the way to the shoot. They were such good sports for me, thank you!!

Hair and Make-up done by the talented Rachael of Girls and Curls. Thank you Rachael, Melissa looked BEAUTIFUL!!!

Oh! And, I can’t forget about Chowder!! Chowder is their cute, little dog, he was sooooo good!!!

Barbados Engagement Photographer…Rashid and Rashida

admin — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 15:53:30 +0000

We met Rashid and Rashida early on Thursday morning, in the lobby of the Barbados Hilton, to do a quick engagement session before their big day! Rashida and I have been chatting via email and instant-messenger for the past year, so it was great to finally meet them both in person. They both live in New York City and decided upon a destination wedding in Barbados. They both have family who either live or have-lived in Barbados, which is a BEAUTIFUL island in the Caribbean.

They are also expecting a little one, which made the photos extra-special!! So excited for you both!!

Below are some of my favorite images from the session.

Rashida, I just ADORE this image of you, so beautiful!

Barbados Wedding Photography…Behind the scenes (literally)

admin — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 19:03:37 +0000

We met Rashid and Rashida early on Thursday morning to do their engagement session a couple days before their wedding at the Hilton Barbados. Mark came along and assisted me and got some behind-the-scene shots, literally, as in, you don’t see my face at all. :-) He did a good job at staying out of the scene.

It is always fun seeing working pics, so thank you Mark!

There were tons of big crabs on those rocks! I should have taken a picture of them. Oh well, guess I’ll have to go back. :-)

Dolly and Frank…Littleton, CO Engagement Photographer

admin — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 10:00:00 +0000

Dolly and Frank were my high-bidders in the Wish Upon a Wedding auction that took place about a month ago. The money they spent on my engagement session will go to help someone who is terminally ill get married. Such a neat organization and a BIG thanks to Frank and Dolly for bidding!!!

We met up a few days ago in downtown Littleton on a semi-warm-ish day (about 45 degrees). Dolly must have been freezing in her dress, however, she was in good spirits. These two laughed the entire time, I had a blast photographing them! Best of luck to the both of you on your April wedding, it sounds fantastic!!

On with the pics…

Recently Engaged? Hitched in the Highlands 2 RACE!!!

admin — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 18:31:56 +0000

I can’t tell you how excited I am to, once again, be a part of this AWESOME race!! I am a HUGE fan of The Amazing Race, so this is right up my alley.

Last year I donated a couple engagement sessions to the runner ups of the competition and will do the same this year.

To apply for this amazing race through the Highlands neighborhood of Denver, CO, please visit the Happy Cakes Bakery website and apply online (the link is on the left-hand side of their website).

Steamboat Springs, CO Engagement Photographer…Melissa and Brian

admin — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:24:01 +0000

I have had some pretty rad engagement sessions this season, including this one in Steamboat Springs, CO! This was not only my first time to Steamboat, but also my first e-session in the SNOW!! Phoenix didn’t have much snow, so I was MORE than excited to do a winter wonderland shoot.

Melissa and Brian are getting married next August at the top of the mountain in Steamboat. Melissa owns the Tap House Sports Grill and Brian loves to DJ! During our session we visited Fish Creek Falls, which can also been seen on your Coors beer cans. :-) We had a complete blast playing in the snow and I am so excited for their wedding next summer!

Enjoy the pics!

I think our “mock” snowball fight turned into a for real competition!

Quick clothing and location change! We stopped by Katie’s parents house to get a few inside images. You two look FABULOUS!!

One more stop to get a few snow shots in their snowboard gear. My 4 year old son, Ryland, was very concerned for Melissa. He saw the pictures of Brian coming down the slide and was very worried she was going to get run over. :-)
