Colorado Wedding Photographer – Amber & Matt Cornwell’s Special Day

June 23, 2012

I had the opportunity to photograph Amber & Matt’s wedding this month.  Amber is so sweet and when I met Matt, it was no surprise that these two are a match. They are so cute, and nice, and you can just feel the love between them.  When I arrived at Pinehurst Country Club in Denver early that afternoon, the sky was dark, it was windy and it started to rain…. I was panicking inside a bit because I had imagined a beautiful outdoor ceremony and bride/groom photos on the golf course.  I just knew the pictures would not be what Amber had dreamed of if we had to move everything inside.  When you’re photographing a wedding you have to be ready for anything (including bad weather) and I was.  I brought umbrellas, flashes, a video light, extra batteries, lots of CF cards, framed chalk boards, big J-U-S-T-M-A-R-R-I-E-D letters, a burlap L-O-V-E banner, lists (lots of lists) and of course, an emergency kit of hair spray, ibuprofen, etc.  Let’s just say I was prepared… but so desperately hoping the weather would clear up.   About an hour before the ceremony it was cloudy but not too windy and not raining.  Amber was asked to make the call, inside or out.  The wedding took place outside and we got out to the golf course in a golf cart limo!! It started raining a bit but we got an adorable shot of the Mr. and Mrs. under my umbrella and under a large tree (there was no lightning).  I feel like I’ve known these two for so much longer than I have and I teared up when I read their story in Amber’s words and she has allowed me to share….. Enjoy!!

“Matt and I both grew up in Littleton and lived two miles apart throughout our childhood.  We went to rival high schools and we knew a lot of the same people, however, we didn’t know of each other and had never met.  Fast forward ten years, Matt and I are established in our careers in commercial lending.  Matt works for a local bank and I work for a non-profit and our companies do business together.  One of Matt’s co-workers and I had been working on a project together and he asked if I wanted to go to lunch.  Little did I know, he secretly wanted to introduce the two of us.  After that lunch, we seemed to always run into each other at work functions or out on the town in Denver.  Finally, one day after a lunch meeting, he asked for my number.  After a little persuasion, I gave it to him.  On our first date, he took me to dinner and a Nuggets game.  That night, I knew there was something special about Matt.  We talked in his car after the game for hours about our families, work and what we want out of life.  We also sang Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” at the top of our lungs and he serenaded me with Aladdin’s “A Whole New World.”  From that night, I knew there was something special about him!  I loved his passion for life, his genuine care for people and his huge heart.  I knew he was one in a million and he swept me off my feet!  I was madly in love shortly after our first date.

Matt and I always knew that marriage was in our future but we never really discussed it seriously.  One weekend in June of 2011, Matt and I were hiking at Red Rocks, which is one of my favorite places.  We were hiking and stopped on one of the rocks that overlooks Denver when Matt got down on his knee and asked me to be his wife.  I was completely surprised and I immediately said YES!  I couldn’t imagine my life without him and was so honored he wanted me to be his wife!  So, the planning began for our special day.  Although I didn’t enjoy a lot of the planning aspect of the wedding, when the day finally got here, I didn’t want it to end.

On the morning of the wedding, I wrote Matt a card.  I wanted to write it the day of the wedding so that my real emotions were expressed.  The minute I started writing, I broke down in tears.  The tears were of joy and happiness for the love and life that Matt and I have shared over the last three plus years….  And the greatest gift is knowing that the best is yet to come!  Matt truly completes me and when he wraps me in his arms, I feel so secure in knowing that we share a very unique love for one another.  He is my soul mate and best friend.

After getting ready all day, I was so nervous for the actual walk down the aisle.  My dad and I shared a very special moment and he calmed my nerves.  The minute I saw Matt waiting for me at the end of the aisle, I was comforted knowing I was marrying the man of my dreams.  Matt’s Uncle Marvin was the officiant of our ceremony and actually married Matt’s parents 37 years ago!  We were delighted he was able to marry us as well. We were so blessed to have many family members travel to be with us for our special day and were surrounded by many of the people who have shaped our lives.   During our first dance, Matt and I had not planned on doing the “Dirty Dancing lift” but halfway through the song, he told me we were going to do it.  So, with no practice and on a whim, we did it!  The wedding was spectacular and was true to what Matt and I believe in…. family, friends and a great time!  We danced the night away and celebrated the love that we share and the start of our new lives together.  We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful friends and family who have been there for us through this wonderful time in our lives and greatly appreciate all of the love and support.”

Colorado Family Photographer – Another Teaser

May 11, 2012

I couldn’t resist posting another teaser of this family photo session.  It looks like we too a trip to the beach but this is actually a lake in Westminster, Colorado!!  I love how Aiden didn’t quite want to put his arm all the way around his mom… he was a great sport even though he totally didn’t want to be taking family photos.

Colorado Family Photographer – Mother’s Day Sneak Peek

May 5, 2012

When I got the email from Sonya about taking family photos, I immediately knew I liked her.  As we exchanged several emails and she told me about her family, I started to feel really connected to her.  God has blessed me with amazing clients and that continued with Sonya.  She is absolutely gorgeous and has such a sweet spirit.   My friend Angela did a fabulous job with hair and makeup and Sonya was just glowing!  I was a little worried about the weather since it was pretty cloudy and windy while we were getting ready.  As I drove up to our destination, I could see clear skies over the mountains and shortly after we started shooting, we got a beautiful golden sunset.  I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect.  Just as we were finishing up, a storm rolled in.  It got really windy and as I drove away, it started to rain.  I couldn’t believe how the weather held out just long enough for our shoot.  God sure is good icon smile Colorado Family Photographer   Mothers Day Sneak Peek

Hello and Welcome to my new Blogsite!!

February 14, 2012

Hello and welcome to my new blogsite (website + blog = blogsite)!!  This is now my one stop shop on the web and I’m SOOO excited!  What better way to start off but with a highlight from 2011… so here goes:

2011 was such a whirlwind for Alvin (my hubby) and me.  My photography business was just starting off at the beginning of the year and then I landed a 1 year contracting job at Google!  Crazy right?!  I worked 40-50 hours a week at Google and took photo shoots on the weekends.  I grew in my photography skills and knowledge oh so much in 2011… I can’t even believe it when I compare pictures I took at the beginning of the year to those from the end.  I have been extremely blessed with how much knowledge I’ve picked up in such a short amount of time and the overwhelming support of my family, friends and clients.  For those of you who don’t know, Alvin is a Mixed Martial Artist (MMA Fighter) and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Instructor (black belt under Royce Gracie).  He had 2 professional matches this year, one 145lb title fight victory for Aggression MMA in Canada.  As if all of this wasn’t enough, about half way through the year Alvin & I were presented with the opportunity to become the Youth Leaders at our church, Bethel Biblical (not something we took lightly).  We realized this would be a huge and long term commitment but ultimately took it on and it’s been such an amazing gift!!

With working for Google full time, managing 3 rental properties, managing my quickly growing business and taking on the youth group (did I mention I was in charge of the decorations for our church too), I realized I was quickly becoming overwhelmed, stressed and plain tired.  I got so excited and flattered by all the inquiries for my photography that I said ‘yes’ too much and ‘no’… um, pretty much never.  One of the hardest things to do was to have to start telling people no.  I have gotten a lot better at pacing myself and putting limits on the number of shoots I take each month.   Since I’m not taking as many clients, I can really put time and planning into the ones I have and put a lot of love into editing (which is half the fun!). I give them my all and learn valuable skills and lessons from each and every one… not to mention I get to make new friends and rekindle old friendships along the way.  2011 is now complete and 2012 is already in full swing… I know there are good things to come!  Here are some of my favorite images from 2011 (there’s a lot of them!)….
