I responded to a spammy email with signed up for a lead generation service so I could pull back the curtain on that industry. While I'm committing zero dollars to this endeavor, I want to post this service review of Bark as my initial experience with their service and get more information as time goes then update this post. Did I get suckered into giving a company my email address for their marketing purposes? Will this turn out to be a good thing? Did I use my first .gif in this blog? Read to find out! 

While it doesn't happen as often as I would like it to, I have shot many of my friends' weddings over the years but this was the first that I have shot for my family. Quinten LePlatt and I are 2nd or 3rd cousins and grew up together in Monte Vista, Colorado in the San Luis Valley

On November 22nd, I had the opportunity to shoot Kyle and Julia's beautiful Boulder wedding at the Ravencrest Inn just a couple of miles west of Boulder. I've had the pleasure of getting to know Kyle and Julia during their engagement and had a fantastic session with them at Brainard Lake for their engagement photos!

Chase and Kaci asked me to do engagement photos while we were on our Fall Tour trip while we were in Ouray during September 2014. This fun and energetic couple are good friends of mine and it was a joy to, not only take their photos, but also travel all around the state of Colorado with them.  

Congratulations Josh and Sarah Dayton! This beautiful couple asked me to take a photo of them leaving their amazing Breckenridge wedding at the Breckenridge Nordic Center and it provided me with an opportunity to use my newly acquired Rokinon 14mm lens! 

Josh and Sarah approached me to shoot their engagement photos in the fall of 2014 near Boulder in Erie, Colorado. 

Without a doubt one of the most fun and memorable weddings I've had the pleasure of photographing! Kelly and Adam got married in Crested Butte, Colorado at Uley's Cabin on Mt. Crested Butte and included a chair lift ride to the wedding venue! 

The Canon 85mm f/1.2L is one of the best, most outstanding lenses I have used. Would I recommend buying one, absolutely. Do I own one? Absolutely not, nor will I. Read why inside!

I met Tia and John through a friend and had a great engagement photo session with them in Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park, Colorado last March. One of my favorite engagement sessions that I have had to date, this beautiful couple had some great ideas!
