Matt and Erica’s Garden Wedding at Flying Dog Ranch

September 9, 2011 Leave a Comment

The flowers were in full bloom at Flying Dog Ranch in Carbondale, Colorado for Matt and Erica’s gorgeous garden wedding. Erica was another brilliant DIY bride; one of the best details was the handmade stone centerpiece adorning each table. The sunset was incredible, giving us a chance to capture some great back-lit shots that made the bride glow (even more!).

West Maroon Pass in the Maroon Bells Wilderness a world-class hike. This photograph was taken during the peak of Colorado’s high-country wildflower season near the middle of the 11-mile trek.

Sentinel Spire at Colorado National Monument

February 13, 2011

I had a blast photographing CAMP athlete Rob the Piz and Jesse on Colorado National Monument’s Sentinel Spire. They cruised Fast Draw on the back side of the spire, then rapped down and climbed Medicine Man on the front. Another good day in the desert!

Glenwood Canyon Wilderness, Colorado

December 7, 2010

As much as I love living in Denver, the Western Slope is one of my favorite areas to photograph and I travel there as much as I can (even when it’s only in my daydreams). This series was taken in the Glenwood Canyon area, showing Colorado’s fickle skies.
