jackie & mike

It's great to be a guest at a good friend's wedding. We had the wonderful opportunity to be guests at Jackie and Mike's wedding at the Phipps Masion in Denver, CO.
What a beautiful ceremony! And, of course, we had a take a few candid snaps...here are just a few of our favorite.

Just before the vows, Jackie got all welled up and Mike saved the day with a tissue!

This caught us by surprise and totally gave us a good laugh!

After Jackie's bouquet toss, we witnessed a "bachelorette scatter" that was so so so funny!

cars at twilight

Ever wonder how that marvelous twilight can make a car really shine....I had some fun shooting this Chrysler 300B at the Fall 2006 Chrysler 300 International Meet in Lawton, OK. The gala event was hosted by my father, who did such an awesome job. See tons more images here.

One evening in Billings, MT I was out landscape photographing and the light wasn't doing what I thought, but I turned around and headed back to my rental car and got a wonderful idea.... let's see if I can make this Suburu Outback look like a car brochure. I think it came pretty close!

My father's Chrysler PT Cruiser at sunset with a really cool asphalt pit in the background and a little puddle of water to catch some reflection, which was a nice surprise. Note the fuzzy dice!

mom's garden

I've always admired my Mom's wonderful garden.... she spends so much time, really loves it, and the colors, textures, and shapes really show!

However, it is little buggers like this that make a gardener's life a bit more difficult.

Melissa & Drew had such a remarkable Catholic mass wedding followed by a hit of a reception at the Adam's Mark in Denver. Watch the slideshow! Everyone really seemed to enjoy the event and Melissa & Drew were smiles all day long! They told me that at the end of the day, their cheeks were sore from so much smiling (I'm sure everyone had a similar feeling!). A special shout-out to Jacob Ware who helped out with the photography, which was totally great! Thanks, Jake!

Melissa & Drew were headed off to Hawaii for some honeymoon relaxation and had everyone sign their book, which was totally cool!
