Ice on Window

The good thing about single pane windows. With the temperature on Thursday @-17f we had an inch of ice in the inside of our old single pane windows. You can click any image to see it bigger... back button to return to blog.

Dressed in Black Rocks Kat & Dom

When I returned from a weekend wedding shoot in Steamboat Springs, I just had to process the images from the rocking reception. The band, Peter Yellen's Dressed in Black, was amazing. Throughout the dinner, I overheard many of the 200 guests comment how wonderful the 8 piece band played........ They had know idea how great it was about to get. The versatility of Dressed in Black is impressive beyond compare. To look at the pictures you would rightly suppose that Dressed in Black is a solid savvy jazz band. But they are so much more. When Peter does David Bowie, he sounds like David bowie.... and Michael Jackson.... and Sting.... and Dave Mathews..... and and and. Don't be fooled by Natalie's sweet voice and elegant charisma. Her depth will leave you breathless. Peter Yellen's group is far more than an event band. The unique style and sound of Dressed in Black motivates a crowd to move like no other.

Kat and Dom's wedding was the dream brides imagine. After the ceremony at the Holy Name catholic church in Steamboat Springs, the couple arrived to their reception at a private residence on Catamount lake by boat.

At the end of the night, the crowd wanted more. Peter Yellen's Dressed in Black always leaves them wanting more.

Last week my son Levi attended super hero academy. Wow ....... what fun. These pictures come from the graduation ceremony.

Wedding Dance Photography

At the Denver Botanic Gardens, this dancer was very impressive.
The Belmar center in Lakewood Colorado is a great venue to capture great wedding dance photos. The band was Peter Yellen's band Dressed in Black. I always recommend them.

The Brown Palace in Denver offers impeccable service and provides several great dance floors.
I love the expressions on all the women.....can you name the song that was playing?
This bride was a professional dancer.
This shot was done at the Grand Hyatt in Denver. Why is that man wearing sunglasses? .....it wasn't very bright reaaly. The picture won 3rd place in the Wedding Photography Directory competition. http://www.weddingphotographydirectory.com/
Beautiful mood, first wedding dance. This comes from the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park.

Even after a long day of wedding photography, I love to capture fun wedding dance pictures. To do great dance photography means you have to go that extra kilometer (or mile) even though your body is fatigued. What makes a truly compelling wedding Dance photograph isn't just lighting and composition. The photographer must anticipate the action and look for expression. Some of my favorite venues for making wedding dance photographs are The Grand Hyatt in Denver, Cherry Hills Country Club and The Denver Country Club. The Grant Humphrey's Mansion has a low ceiling which actually makes for interesting and easy lighting whilst the elegant Sanctuary Golf Course is a challenging but very rewarding dance venue. Tent lighting like at The Hudson Gardens always provides a nice bounce of even light but once you get outside the tent, the black night will suck up your light quickly. So having an assistant to carry a second and even a third light is a big advantage.
