End of Year 2012 - Weddings, Seniors and More!

Would you look at that? Another year has come and gone. It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I sat here writing my 2011 Wrapup posts. As I write my End of Year 2012 posts and reflect on what the year has brought, I can't help but feel so amazed and fortunate that I get to do what I love every single day of the year.

Over the first few weeks of 2013 I'll share some of my favorite photos from 2012 with you. You'll see personal photos taken with my digital camera, on film and even with my phone. You'll see photos that I don't normally share from events and family sessions. And of course, you'll see some of my favorite wedding and senior images I created in the past year.

I can't wait to share everything that I've done in this past year with you. It's truly been an amazing year. I can't imagine doing anything else with my life. I truly feel like the luckiest guy in the world. Thank you for an amazing year. I can't wait to see what surprises next year holds!

If you've got a few minutes and want to see how I wrapped up last year, here are my 2011 Wrapup posts:

Janice and Isaias - Denver Wedding Photography

Janice and Isaias got married in September at the amazing Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver. You might remember seeing their Red Rocks engagement session a while back. I'm happy to report that Janice and Isaias were just as happy on their wedding day as they were at their engagement session.

It was a beautiful September day full of light and love. I couldn't believe how beautiful the church was. It was a real treat to go inside and see the light pouring through the stained glass during the ceremony. Afterwards at the reception, friends and family gathered to celebrate the love of Janice and Isaias.

 

Thanks to Cameron Redwine for being a great second photographer!

Tasha and Jeremy - Denver Engagement Photos

Strolling around LoDo with Tasha and Jeremy, I felt more like a friend who just happened to be taking photos of them than a wedding photographer. Maybe it was because we met up at LoDo's before the shoot (which just happens to be where they met) or maybe it was because they're just so easy to talk to, but I just felt like were out having a good time and somehow came back with a camera full of good photos.

Oh yes... we got some good photos. In fact, we got some great photos! Jeremy is just so calm and loving around Tasha and Tasha is just so energetic and fun! I've heard rumors that their wedding is going to be pretty wild, so I'm definitely looking forward to photographing it in October. Until I come back with proof of their wild and crazy wedding, check out Tasha and Jeremy's engagement session!

 

Alexis - Denver High School Senior Photos

When you photograph high school seniors, you meet all kinds of people. Without a doubt, Alexis is one of those people who just instantly impresses you with her personality and confidence. We met up for her Senior Session on a sunny Denver day and just wandered around, finding amazing locations and good light. The entire time we shot, conversation flowed and a smile never left her face.

I feel like I should also point out that this session was shot entirely on film! She wanted something that was creative, original and different. I think we hit all of these with this shoot. I hope you enjoy Alexis' senior photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Bri - Denver High School Senior Photos

Although Denver is one of the sunniest places around (which makes for great senior photo sessions), we do get cloudy days once in a while. That's not a bad thing! You might not be able to tell, but Bri's Senior Session was on an overcast day. Sometimes that makes the light even more beautiful! We took advantage of it and wandered around LoHi, shooting and talking. Her dog, Rogue, even got in on the action!

Denver On Cross Processed Film

I thought I'd share something a little different today. Recently, I wandered around Denver and shot some slide film with the intent of getting it cross processed. It was my first time cross processing film and I really didn't know what to expect. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. Most of the shots came out great! You can be sure I'll be shooting more in the very near future and a few will definitely make an appearance on the blog. Here are a few of my favorites...

These were shot on Fujichrome 100D film on my Nikon F100. Processed at Walgreens and scanned on my Epson V500.
