Portraiture Photography

I was asked to come to a beautiful venue in Evergreen, Colorado to shoot for this bride and groom.  These are their engagement portraits.  We traveled to Evergreen Lake in the Rocky Mountains at dawn.  The beautiful log cabin, where they will say their vows, sits on the lake.  When we were driving up to the venue, there were about 20 elk standing off the side of the road.  If my car window was opened, one of them would have stuck his head right in my door.  I didn't know their eyeballs were so big.  LOL.  As I took these shots, the elk were running thru the water in the background. It was pretty fascinating and peaceful.  This is going to be an amazing wedding because the bride and groom are very contemporary.  She has several tattoos that she wanted to highlight.  The next image shows her extraordinary uniqueness, as well as, her femininity.   They both have amazing eyes and eyelashes that go on for days.  I was able to capture sun bursts thru my frame.  Their body position, as it relates to the sun light allows perfect casts of the "magical hour" of light around the edges of their bodies.  They were very please with these portraits, which makes me happy.  I love that people like my work enough to compensate me for traveling across the nation to shoot for them.  It seems that I work even harder to give them custom works of art.  I am inspired by the different cultures and beauty that each of these clients bring to the table.  It is a challenge that I welcome.
