Kirsten & Nate's Briarhurst Wedding

Kirsten & Nate were married May 10th at the beautiful Briarhurst Manor. All the spring trees were in bloom for their wedding! Kirsten and Nate saw each other before their ceremony and enjoyed an intimate moment on the lawn before we started with photos. It is so special to capture just the couple alone when they see each other for the first time. There is no other moment like it! We had a wonderful time with Kirsten & Nate.

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!

RocknRollPhotography.com

Well, we have started a new website: RocknRollPhotography.com !

It is still partially under contruction but, you will get the idea. Here are some guitar shoots we have done lately. Enjoy!
