A couple weeks ago, I met with Aubrey and Kirk to grab a few engagement photos at Rocky Mountain National Park, despite the weather which had to be around 20 degrees. The original plan was to get some fall colors, but nature did not allow this because of some heavy snow and cold weather in the days leading up to our shoot. I am really looking forward to working with these two next year at their beautiful mountain wedding, and hopefully it will be a lot warmer in June.
Heather and Matt were lucky enough to get a few fall colors, as they did not last long at all this year due to our early snow this year. We met on the Auroria campus which was more of a spin of the wheel for me as I just really needed to shoot at a new place. It ended up being perfect as the place was absolutely empty with the exception of the occasional group of people walking home from the Bronco’s game which was next door. Thanks to Heather and Matt for being so easy to work with as they seemed to keep themselves entertained for most of our shoot.
Chris and Erin had an amazing wedding at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, CO complete with a Banjo player and folk band. There is nothing wrong with a traditional wedding, but to mix it up a little bit from a photographers point of view, I was thrilled to be a part of this fun filled wedding. It was also perfect timing, as I drove by Planet Bluegrass the next weekend and it was covered in snow!!!!! Thanks to Chris and Erin and their wonderful families for an awesome time.
A fellow photographer Scott, recently asked if I would be able to shoot a few family photos for his family, and of course I said Yes! Speaking to Lynn Ann, Scott’s wife, she told me they have hardly any photos of all of them together, which I seem to have the same problem being a photographer and living in a house of non photographers. Here are a few of my favorites….
Recently, I was lucky enough to be a part of a new project that NASA, Boeing, and the FAA are testing called 3D PAM, or Path Arrival Management. To make a long story short, you know when you fly into a busy airport, you feel the aircraft start its descent, then you level off for a bit, then you start down a little more, and next thing you know, you level off again and hear the engines getting loud again as you speed up, only to slow down again. Well this testing was to gather data to see if there is a way for an aircraft to start its descent at a certain point, pull the throttle back to idle, and never have to touch the throttle again during the entire landing sequence. On top of this, the aircraft will automatically communicate with other aircraft so that they stay in one line, keeping equal distance and speed, and making the operations in the sky a lot more efficient. The team was comprised of 3 pilots, 2 technicians, 2 researchers, and 3 Air Traffic Controllers. (Thats Me) Here are a few images of some of the testing during a 5 hour flights around Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska.
Stephanie and Bryce had a beautiful wedding not far outside of Denver, but you would think it was deep in the mountains. The Pines at Gennsee is one of those made for wedding type of places, but has beautiful sites for the wedding itself. It was a blast to work with these two again, as we had a blast at the engagement session, which I think lasted a record braking 3 hours. Enjoy…..
