Here you’ll find all of my latest photographic outings with the couples, families, seniors and small businesses that I get to work with and make beautiful photographs for.

Beautiful Springtime Jewish Wedding at Red Rocks Trading Post Backyard

May 15, 2023

Spring Wedding at Red Rocks

Last weekend I met Brittany and Samuel on their wedding day at Red Rocks. It was an absolute joy for me to photograph their wedding because they were so clearly head over heels for each other. They had friends and family fly in from all over the US to celebrate their wedding day with them at Red Rocks, one of the world’s most incredible music venues. We’ve had an abnormally large amount of rain this past week (we’ve gotten way more than your typical spring rain this year) but they were so lucky on their wedding day with clouds in the sky but no rain to deal with. So they were able to keep their plans of dinner and dancing on the lawn. Brittany and Samuel’s focus was on celebrating and enjoying their time with their loved ones so we didn’t waste any time heading out onto the surrounding trails and whipped through the family formals as quickly as possible so that they could get on with the fun of their reception. Below is just a small sample of some of my favorite photos we created together on their wedding day.

Mazel Tov to the happy couple!
