JENNY + LEVIY, ENGAGED! GARDEN OF THE GODS

You may remember Jenny and Leviy as they are our 2010 contest winners.  I have talked to Jenny over the past few months, but had yet to meet her, until their engagement session.  I should note that I feel like I already know this incredible couple since I know their love story, and have truly enjoyed learning about them.

Jenny is kind, sweet, loving, and gorgeous.  Leviy is funny, hilarious, and just awesome.  Together, the two of them are absolutely amazing and a ton of fun!  It was a frigid day as we walked around Garden of the Gods (which was packed) and then we headed for some more alleys and architecture digs.  I had a blast with them {and their SUPER cute pups}.

A super fave series.  Jenny and Leviy met at the gym, and love to work out.  I had to incorporate that in to the shoot somewhere.  I told Leviy to do push ups over Jenny!

LAUREN + BRANDON, ENGAGED! DOWNTOWN URBAN ENGAGEMENT SESSION

It’s all about the click.  In my business, I love that “click”.  It’s the click that I get when I talk to someone, or meet them for the first time, and know that I LOVE THEM!  Lauren and Brandon are that kind of “click”.  They are both from Colorado but currently live in New York City.  When I spoke to Lauren on the phone the first time, I knew that she was fabulous, fun, and my type of girl!  I was SO excited that they chose me to shoot their wedding.  So, they were in town for Christmas and we set up their engagement session.  Seriously … these two rocked my little socks off!  I truly LOVE them :)  We had a ton of fun (on a very cold morning) wandering through Denver.  Lauren, Brandon and I laughed.  A LOT.  They remind me why I love what I do so much everyday.

KRISTIN + MARC WEDDING

Last weekend I shot Kristin and Marc’s wedding in Colorado Springs.  First of all, the weather was beau-ti-ful!  I don’t know how we lucked out with a 60 degree day in January, but we did.  I met Kristin a few years back before leaving my corporate career in pursuit of my business.  Kristin and I just clicked… I seriously love this girl.  She is gorgeous, smart, caring and the list goes on.  I met Marc some time after knowing Kristin and he is Awesome.  I seriously love these two and can’t say enough good things about them.

Kristin and Marc were married at St. Gabrielle’s Church in Colorado Springs.  They had a beautiful traditional ceremony.  I have so many favorite images from their ceremony that I can’t share them all here.  Stay tuned for the slideshow later today.  After that, we headed downtown for a few shots… and their reception was at Jack Quinn’s.  

Kristin and Marc, I hope you are living it up in Mexico right now.  I am so happy for you both and love you guys to death.  Thanks for asking me to capture your day.  You started 2009 off with a bang!
