Weddings Worldwide Since 2006Aruba Wedding | Jen + Scott
Just got back from a fantastic weekend wedding in Aruba, where Jen and Scott decided to have a small, intimate wedding with a best friend and close family at the Aruba Marriott. A huge highlight: once they were married, they cruised out into the ocean in their wedding...
How to have a green wedding
I might be buying a home soon, and I've been really concerned having one that's energy-efficient and sustainable. The place that we might make an offer on is way cool, but it's got some issues such as a lot of enormous single-pane windows. Ideally we'd like to invest...
Mother of all rope swings
Here's a crazy shot I just came across while organizing my Web site. I shot a Montana wedding last summer at the Holland Lake Lodge, which is on Holland Lake outside of Missoula. Really cool place, really beautiful setting. The lodge is on a tiny little peninsula...
Spire Banner!
So I do a lot of outdoor sports and adventure photography when I'm not shooting weddings, and one of my clients is Spire USA, makers of probably the best laptop bags on the planet -- so I have to do a little plug for them on my blog. They rock. I'm an avid Apple user,...
Random headshots
It's always cool to see what graphic designers do to your work once it's in their hands. Here are two head shots I took recently, and then the resulting pages/ads designed by Andrea Russell at Optasia Graphics. I think she's pretty good! I was psyched to be able to...
New Coastal Woman Cover
So this is kinda neat -- Coastal Woman's new summer 2007 issue features a shot I took a few weeks ago on its cover. An honor! Check it out! For the camera geeks in the house (hi Dad!) I lit the shot with two off-camera Canon 580 flashes. I didn't need to break out the...
Abaco Club Wedding | Bahamas | Rudi + Russell
Rudi and Russell... Wow. Congratulations, you two! What a weekend. Words can't do their wedding much justice, so for now (while I'm sitting on a lounge chair on a beach in the Bahamas, surfing the web over wifi) I'll just post a few pictures. More to come -- these are...

New Routing in Wanaka
Okay, this is pretty rad. We stayed at a friend of a friend's house in Wanaka for about a week, and part way through our visit, Ben decided to let us in on a little secret. Way up on a hill above a river he'd discovered a huge crag that he was trying to develop. The...
Routeburn Track
Ten days ago we backpacked into the Routeburn Track, a beautiful trail in the Mt Aspiring & Fjordlands area. The Routeburn is considered the little brother of the Milford Track, and it's where everyone winds up who can't get a Milford Track reservation (which we...
Wedding photography awards
Great news! The results of the Wedding Photojournalist Association's 2006 year-end contest are in, and I picked up a few awards for images in the scene setting, getting ready and first dance categories. Only a handful of photographers in Colorado have received awards...
Rain, rain, go away
Right now we're in the town of Wanaka. Climbed yesterday and are weathering out a storm in the comfort of the van. Apparently the Milford Track is due for 200mm of rain today. Good thing we left when we did. Last night we watched a movie in the car on the laptop, and...
Rest Day in Milford
We were feeling lethargic -- a little ill, perhaps, or maybe just beat from working an impossible climb the day before -- so we all decided to have a rest day in and around Milford Sound. Here's a picture of that impossible climb. It's a ridiculous 5.12c that's got a...
Those Milford Track pictures…
So here are some of those Milford Track pictures I promised...
Milford!
After our last little adventure, we decided to have some R&R on the Milford Track, often called the finest walk in the world. Though it's a 4-day, 55-km hike, you get to stay in well-equipped huts (no tents allowed!) complete with beds and gas cookers. Pretty...
