Laura & Chris

2011-11-02T16:33:00.004-06:00

Here is a small album from Laura & Chris's wedding a few weekends ago at Mission Hills Church in Littleton and Maggiano's. Mother Nature didn't cooperate early on. By mid day the rain and snow stopped which allowed us to capture the wedding party images outside. The amazing floral work was by again provided by Abloom in Highlands Ranch. Congratulations to Laura & Chris!!

Laura's comment!

Perfect Day. Unforgettable Moments. And Incredible Pictures. All thanks to Denver Photographer - Bowers Photographics for capturing the beauty of the day. Now we will have those memories with us forever. Thanks Mitch!!! ~Laura and Chris

Jackie & Dave Wedding at Grant Humphreys Mansion Denver Colorado

2011-03-31T10:12:00.002-06:00

Last weekend I was part of a great wedding for Jackie and Dave at Denver's Grant Humphrey's Mansion. They both work for Frontier Airlines, I have no idea how Frontier was able to operate that night because so many of the guests and people in the wedding party were pilots. With the aviation theme, the rings were flown down the aisle by remote control helicopter! It was a great evening. Congratulations Jackie and Dave!

gs were flown down the aisle by remote control helicopter! It was a great evening. Congratulations Jackie and Dave!

It was a beautiful evening ceremony on the rooftop then down to the grand ballroom for a great reception! Congratulations to Amy & Mike!

Awesome testimonial!

2010-08-16T11:58:00.005-06:00

Here is a recent testimonial from Nique. Her wedding was this Spring at The Sanctuary!

As the bride, I was so busy that I feel like I missed the entire night. Through your photography, I am able to tell the story of my wedding. I cannot believe that you were able to be as present as you were and yet seem so invisible. The images are fantastic, and really embody the vintage theme that I envisioned. The second best decision I made on that day was having you there to capture it (the first was the marriage itself).

Thanks.

Nique Mancuso-Sadler

Saturday night I was the official photographer for a private concert featuring Lyle Lovett! Colorado Academy, one of the private schools that I provide photography for held a financial aid fundraiser with over 800 guests. It was quite an experience.

Wedding New Orleans Style! Last weekend we were in New Orleans to shoot Chris and Chris's wedding at the Historic French Quarter Inn. With about 40 family and friends on hand. It was a beautiful and intimate ceremony. After some posed family and friend shot in the courtyard we headed off to dinner then Jackson Square and the banks of the Mississippi River for some bridal party shots. Then it was off to Bourbon Street. Wedding parties get a lot of attention and beads on Bourbon St. Saturday morning we headed out for a bridal party shoot around the French Quarter and even had time for a Bloody Mary stop in Pirate's Alley. Enjoy

Monique & Lee's Winter Wedding

2010-02-25T14:45:00.006-07:00

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Monique & Lee's wedding at Dollitle Hall at The Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was truly a winter wonderland! We had a snowstorm the night before that continued into most of the wedding day. It made for a beautiful but cold backdrop. We were able to go outside for about 10 minutes for a few wedding party shots and a few portraits. With the dense fog and cold outside it made for very unique light! I love the deep blue and snow on the trees in the background.

Enjoy!

Winter Engagement Session

2010-02-17T10:01:00.003-07:00

On Valentine's day I shot the engagement session for Nique & Simon who's wedding will be in April at The Sanctuary. This shoot was at Harlequin Plaza in the Denver Tech Center. We had been waiting for snow for this shoot and the night before we got it. I love the contrast between the glass buildings and all of the trees around Harlequin.

Why hire an experienced professional?

2010-02-12T11:48:00.003-07:00

Your wedding story is the culmination of two lives coming together. Each bride and groom has chosen to trust each other with marriage, a very critical life decision. The wedding is a celebration of this trust. Once the wedding is over, the food and decorations are gone and the wedding day is a memory.

So a beautifully photographed wedding can be a way to relive the wedding day. With this in mind it is important to understand that photographing a wedding is a very skilled and technically demanding task. Professional photographers such as myself are very seasoned and prepared to capture your wedding memories. Sometimes couples elect to hire an amateur for a couple of hundred dollars or give the job to a uncle who has a good camera. A quality camera does not ensure that quality photographs can be taken.

I hear too often of couples who tell me that they regret letting a friend or amateur photograph their wedding. Your wedding happens once in a lifetime. For me, weddings happen nearly every Saturday and some Fridays and Sundays beginning May through October and have since 1995. Photography is a craft, art, and passion of mine and I take pride in making sure your wedding story is carefully captured. As a photographer I am constantly thinking 3 steps ahead during every moment of a wedding.

Lighting conditions, events, composition opportunities, interactions on a wedding day change quickly. A good camera cannot just take over and capture these fleeting moments accurately. 2000 snapshots are not the way to capture a wedding. A trained and seasoned wedding professional can capture the wedding day as it should.

A few 2009 Wedding Favorites

2010-01-04T17:27:00.006-07:00

Here are a few of my favorite images from the busy 2009 wedding season. Enjoy!

Katie & David's wedding at Chief Hosa Lodge

2009-12-16T20:15:00.006-07:00

One of this weekend's weddings was Katie and David's wedding at Chief Hosa Lodge in the foothills West of Denver. The day started out a little overcast and ended with a few strong snow showers by the end of the night. This was truly a great day. Everything went like clockwork! Hair and makeup was done by Rachael owner of Girls and Curls. www.girlsandcurls.com. The catering was by Carte d' Or. Holly and the others were awesome!! Cartedorcatering.com. This was one of those weddings that the couple did most of the work and it truly showed! Katie and her bridesmaids did all of their own flowers and and arrangements. And I have to say they looked as professional as any I have seen in all of my years of shooting weddings! I heard that a few of the guests from Texas had never seen snow! Well, they got a taste of Colorado in December. During the reception a strong snow shower started and they wanted shots of them in the snow to show their friends back in Texas. I'm sure they will get some mileage out of those.

Enjoy!

Jennifer & Brandon's wedding at Pax Christi & The Sanctuary

2009-12-01T15:30:00.006-07:00

One of last weekends weddings was at Pax Christi Catholic Church in Highlands Ranch, CO and the reception was at The Sanctuary. We had beautiful weather, although a bit chilly for the sunset shots. The day started at Jennifer's parents house for some getting ready candid's and a quick game of air hockey. Then I was off to Pax Christi to meet up with Brandon and his groom's men. due to sunset being so early this time of year we didn't spend too much time after the ceremony shooting inside. We were in a hurry to get to The Sanctuary for some outdoor portraits with families, wedding party and Jennifer and Brandon's portraits. We had a great sunset! The Sanctuary had just put up all of the holiday decoration and it looks great! Enjoy the images!

Heather & Jon's wedding in Parker CO

2009-11-25T11:09:00.010-07:00

Friday afternoon it was my pleasure working with Heather and Jon. They had a small, intimate ceremony at the Ruth Memorial Chapel on Main Street in Parker Colorado. They arrived in a 1928 Ford Model A!!

We did all of the family portraits inside the chapel then some group shots on the steps outside. It was a beautiful November day. With the sun so low in the Southern sky it was challenging to shoot facing south as the sun came around the back of the chapel. Then we spent some time around sunset shooting the wedding party and Heather and Jon's portraits. I love the historic feel of this wedding. Enjoy some samples.

Katie & Jeremy's wedding at Our Lady of Loreto and The Sanctuary

2009-11-16T10:09:00.012-07:00

On Saturday, Katie and Jeremy had their wedding ceremony at Our Lady of Loreto Church in Foxfield, CO. Then we were off to The Sanctuary in Sedalia, CO for the snowy reception. The day started off overcast and by the end of the reception there was a good 6 inches of snow. Everyone had a great time with the weather. I love the images of the wedding party standing out on the #1 tee box and the night images in the snow. Enjoy!

Here are a few images from Andrea & Dan's wedding a few weeks ago at the amazing Cherry Hills Community Church Chapel and Terrace Gardens. It was another great wedding day. Too bad it was raining after the ceremony. We had plans to stop for some portraits on the way to the reception but that didn't happen due to the rain. It did stop raining long enough during the reception that we were able to use the gazebo at Terrace Gardens for a few shots with the bridal party.

2009-09-12T16:17:00.005-06:00

Here are a few images from Sarah & Zeke's wedding a couple of weeks ago at the Inverness Hotel. It was a great event! The light was a difficult as it gets. Not a cloud in the sky. The ceremony was held on the East side of the hotel in deep shade. Just beyond the ceremony site it was as bright as could be. I had to bring out 2 studio lights to throw light on the guests, wedding party and Sarah & Zeke during the ceremony. Almost all of the portraits were shot in shade out on the golf course. I have to say the images come out very well!

You captured some great candid shots and I was amazed by all the locations you used when I didn’t even know you had taken the wedding party away.

This was a very intimate wedding with a few friends and family. Since Realization point is not yet open for season we had to walk up to the shelter. I got some great images on everyone walking along in the fog. Enjoy!

Why hire a professional?

I hear too often of couples who tell me that they regret letting a friend or amateur photograph their wedding. Your wedding happens once in a lifetime. For me, weddings happen nearly every Saturday beginning May through October and have since 1995. Photography is a craft, art, and passion of mine and I take pride in making sure your wedding story is carefully captured. As a photographer I am constantly thinking 3 steps ahead during every moment of a wedding.

Denver Marriott West Remodel

2009-04-10T16:56:00.006-06:00

On Thursday I shot the open house event for the Denver Marriott West. This was an event to celebrate their major hotel remodel. They went all out. There were business leaders from all over the metro area. I overheard many positive remarks about the updates to the hotel. The grand ballroom looks amazing. I shot a corporate event here in early December, before the remodel and I must say it did need some updates. Well, they did a fantastic job. Just check out the images. If you are looking for a venue you might give them a call. The amazing ice sculpture was provided by Michael Campe - www.coloradoicesculptures.com

Nicole & Chip's Colorado Wedding

2009-03-31T13:56:00.005-06:00

Greetings, this weekend I shot Nicole and Chip's wedding at St. Francis of Assisi in Castle Rock, Colorado and they held the reception at the spectacular Sanctuary Golf Course in Sedalia, Colorado.

The wedding was 2 days after the blizzard. Fortunately, the sun came out on Friday and melted much of the snow. Saturday was beautiful with temps in the 50's. Shooting outside in the middle of the day was a challenge. I had a studio light and the battery pack with me for the outdoor shots. For the wedding party shots at The Sanctuary we had to go with plan B and shoot on the west side of the terrace. The pavilion area was still covered in a snow drift. The studio light came in very handy as I needed to throw a lot of light on the wedding party and families due to the fact that I had to shoot directly into the sun. The images came out great. After dinner I grabbed Nicole and Chip to head back outside for a few sunset portraits. During the reception the guests danced until the very end. Nicole and Chip headed off to Costa Rica for their honeymoon on Sunday night. Upon their return I will have their DVD ready for our viewing meeting in Bowers Photographics viewing room. Enjoy!

Megan Senior Portraits

2009-03-08T15:45:00.003-06:00

Today we shot Megan's senior portraits. Megan will be a senior at Cherokee Trail High School in Aurora. We shot in the middle of the day when the light was very harsh to get blown out backgrounds to focus on Megan's face. We used a diffusion reflector and a portable studio light to get the right skin tones and highlights in her hair. Then we went to the studio to get some more variety. Megan was a great model!!
