Shawn and Gretchen were married at a home in Avon in front of close friends and family. Gretchen’s son and Shawn’s two daughters were the only people in the bridal party. I felt fortunate to be part of such an intimate wedding.

Zombie Prom 2009
We had an epic party this weekend at the ware-home. I set up a photo booth (it is prom after all). Here are some of my favorites from the evening.

The Eagle County Fair
Some photos made back in July with my Canonet QL 17 a film rangefinder from the 70’s that I like to make “snapshots” with.

Lucha Libre
I photographed Lucha Libre two Sunday’s ago but have been too busy editing wedding photos to post this. As I was getting onto I-70 one day, I saw a sign that said “Lucha Parking 48th and Humbolt” I thought to myself hmm… that seems interesting. It has been a while since I have photographed an event other than a wedding in fact it was at the beginning of June at the Teva Mountain Games. Later that night I went on the internet and found out that the wrestling match was on a Sunday at the National Western Complex only about 8 blocks from my house. After watching the Broncos beat the Cowboys I went home got my camera and headed to the match. I have never been to one of these and they were a blast. The crowd is definitely a part of the show so as a spectator you have to stay on your toes for flying masked men!
P.S. Obviously I am not the first to photograph this so if you want to see more Lucha action check out Denver, photographer Matt Slaby, and former Rocky Mountain News photographer Chris Schneider’s images (click under recent work).

Scott and Crystal, Piney Lake Wedding, Vail, Colorado
I met Scott and Crystal way back in February and photographed their engagement pictures around the same time. Since we first met I had photographed 25 weddings in the time in between. They were the first wedding I booked for this year and I was really looking forward to documenting their wedding day. These guys were high school sweethearts and had carried on long distance for quite sometime before Crystal finally moved out to Colorado. The ceremony was absolutely full of emotion as they were surrounded by their friends and family married at Piney Lake near Vail, Colorado on a beautiful autumn afternoon.

Meaghan and Ian, Winter Park Wedding, Colorado
Meaghan and Ian were married at Snow Mountain Ranch, a few miles North from Winter Park. Meaghan is one of the nicest people I have ever worked with very easy going and she has a great sense of humor. Same with Ian…Ian also plays bagpipes in the Mile Highlanders a Denver bag pipe band. These guys were great to work with and were married outside on a beautiful fall afternoon in front of their two very large families.
Meaghan was getting a little nervous as she was getting her veil put on.
Meaghan was walked down the aisle by her brother.
I told Ian this was my “American Gothic” photo so he did his best impression.

On My Walk
This is a little series I have just started. Using my Polaroid 600 camera I document the area around me while on my walks with my dog Juno. I live in a very industrial neighborhood…I personally wouldn’t even qualify it as a neighborhood. We have a few neighbors on the street but mostly the lots are filled with decaying cars, the Pepsi Factory is just down the street, there is a salvation army between here and Coors Field, the Platte River flows a couple of blocks away. I have lived at a lot of different places the past ten years and I am finding it more and more important to me to document the place that surrounds me. If nothing else it turns theses pictures into memories for me. Five, ten, fifty years from now I can pull out these images and be transported back to this particular time in my life. These are a couple that I like so far.
