Charles & Cynthia's 1st Baptist Church Wedding!

We photographed Charles & Cynthia's wedding on March 15th at the First Baptist Church downtown. This is one of Colorado Springs most beautiful churches! We first met Cynthia when she was the maid of honor at one of our bride's, Alison's, wedding last June. Now Alison got to be Cythia's Matron of honor! It was chilly outside but, our couple wanted some pretty spring outdoor shots. We had a great reception at the Air Force Academy Officer's Club where John Warren from Complete Music got the party started! You may see all of Charles and Cythia's photos here. Enjoy!

Concert Photography

We were privileged enough to photograph a concert in Denver which include 4 great bands. Nile, Unexpect, Suicide Silence, and Warbringer. We were there primarily to shoot the guitarists from Nile because they play Dean guitars and we were trying to get some good live shots of them for the Dean webpage. Concert photography is such a blast. It is photojournalism at its finest and that is what I thrive in!

DOA 2008

Ryan was lucky enough to go to Florida for the Dean Owners of America Convention. He met and photographed the owner and the founder of Dean Guitars. He was also able to do some live concert photography of Vinnie Moore, Michael Angelo Batio, Bill Peck and some other well known artists. Needless to say, he was like a kid and a candy store! Oh, and he couldn't leave without a new guitar for himself! Hopefully, next year I can join in the fun...

RocknRollPhotography.com

Well, we have started a new website: RocknRollPhotography.com ! We originally were going to add a music catagory to blackforestphoto.com but, decided why not build a whole new website dedicated just too music! Ryan and I love music and go to concerts a lot. We are hoping to do more interviews, CD covers, live performance photography, and musician portraits. But we still love our weddings! Check out the new site! It is still partially under contruction but, you will get the idea. Here are some guitar shoots we have done lately. Enjoy!

Another Thank You!

We received a beautiful email from Tabitha who is serving in Iraq. We photographed Tabitha and Francisco's wedding in November. They had two weeks leave and both were back to war. Thank goodness for internet! They have been able to view their photos online for now until they return. Here is Tabitha's email:

Becky,

I have finally had an opportunity to sit down and look through our wedding photos, and WOW! You did an absolutely wonderful and amazing job. I am so pleased and so grateful for all the work you put into making our day absolutely perfect. What I love the most was how you made so many of our photos candid, relaxed, us being us. You captured US! One of the compliments I received was that you caught all the real emotion on camera and none of it looked posed, all the photos were natural.

Becky, thank you so much for everything. You will be highly recommended by us.

God bless you and your family.

Take care,Tabitha and Francisco"

We are overjoyed to receive such wonderful letters! It is what we strive to do, capture your memories to cherish forever. You may see all of Tabitha & Francisco's photos here.
