On New Years Eve, Courtney and I had a day of business talk, exploring/adventuring, and obviously taking photos…
You guys! I am sooo flippin’ excited for what 2014 holds, business wise. I changed my pricing structure in June of 2013 for all of those who were requesting 2014 wedding dates. Not only did prices change, but they now reflect an entire different type of business model. One that I am super proud of and can’t wait to put into action with my 2014 weddings! If you remember, these (PRODUCTS) were introduced last year and now almost all of my 2014 brides&grooms will be getting one, full of pretty, printed photographs & much more. I’m thrilled to be offering something I love so much as these beautiful, handmade wooden boxes with prints.
This year, I’m also going to really focus on staying true to myself, in terms of style, creativity, and overall *look+feel* of my photographs. Don’t worry, I’m not drastically changing anything. I’m just going to push myself a little more, try more new things, and really help create (along with all of my wonderful clients) images that I am really proud of and truly reflect my business. Hopefully you’re ok with that 🙂
There will also be a few more little things added here and there, (current 2014 brides–be checking your mailboxes soon for a little surprise!), and I will report on those as they come… or they will just be little secrets between my clients and me… (insert evil laugh)…
Now… For a really, fun new thing!
<<<MY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY BUCKET LIST>>>
In case you were wondering, or couldn’t tell, I like things that are a little unique, a LOT creative, ok and maybe a little bit quirky… That being said, this year I am creating a bucket list of ideas that I would love to see at weddings that I photograph, and if you’re wedding includes any one of these things, I will offer you an exclusive discount! Here’s the list as of now: (I may add things as I think of them…)
> an out of state wedding on the west (from colorado on) or east coast that involve mountains, unique coastline, the desert… (just super spectacular landscape!)
> an outdoor, woodland OR rustic field wedding lit by lanterns, candles, and cafe lights (no tent)
> a wedding with alternative&unique food, or food trucks
> alternative&stylish groom/groomsmen attire, i.e. not rental suits, mismatched outfits
> a bride with a designer/couture/really unique wedding dress & shoes
> a bride wearing a floral crown
> a colorful, modern, geometric themed wedding, or colorful, whimsical, confetti themed wedding
> a rooftop wedding in the city (can also include urban city loft)
> a wedding with a celebrity in attendance or part of the bridal party
That’s it for now! If you know anyone engaged who may be having a unique and creative wedding, send them my way… You will get a super, sweet prize for doing so if they book me! 🙂
Here’s a little Pinterest page I put together to help with wedding day inspiration.

I will leave you with a few photos from our exploring day. And no, we did not plan to wear essentially the same shirt, it just always happens.
