You can see some previous winners from this competition here, here and here.

Not everyone is a jumper. However, Matthew + Naomi definitely are — or more specifically Matt is a jumper, completely willing to express his exuberance and exhilaration about Naomi with fantastical feats that fly against the fundamentals of physics!! We love Naomi’s stylishly sassy expression, too. The judges of the ISPWP took notice and awarded us a placement in the Engagement Portrait category. We’re jumping with almost as much ebullience as Matt himself!

More with Naomi + Matt.

Melissa contacted me only a few months ago and asked if I’d consider shooting a wedding in NH, and I have to be honest, …. one usually has to convince me to do a November wedding – you just can’t ever predict the weather and I love taking the posed photos outside. BUT I met Melissa & Mat at their friends wedding that I shot last year, and dear I say …. they are BOTH 2 of the nicest couples I’ve ever met … so … how could one EVER resist + who would ever say no to a backdrop like Mount Washington??? – Right.

Well, I am pretty sure it’s safe to say that EVERYBODY had a blast that weekend, what a goooorgeous day they had! Thank you both SO much for having us photograph your very special day – Darcy and I had an absolute blast and I LOVED seeing all the bridesmaids again – how fun!! And thanks also for being up for taking photos outside … in the cold …. and the super bright sunlight (eeek) … we all know how freezing it was that day, haha! :o) You guys are an awesome couple – I’d make the trip any day to have you in front of my lens again!

I hope you guys had a woooooonderful time on St. John (boy did I envy you!!!!) and I hope you enjoy the little sneak peek before you get to see the rest of the photos hopefully later tonight :o)

Melissa & Mat held their ceremony at the St. Rose of Lima, Littleton, NH and had their reception at the gorgeous Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, NH.

Aren’t those flowers absolutely stunning??? I’ve never seen roses like those!

Meet Melissa, the pretty bride:

Love this photo:

Ahh, so pretty!

And doesn’t she just have a beautiful smile? … whole room lights up!

gotta love the Mount Washington Resort and it’s beautiful interior!!

Soooo pretty, right??!!!

And a few Darcy took while she was hanging out with the guys :o)

Meet the handsome groom, Mat:

Love this moment :o)

Loooook at that place!!! What a dream!

Best bridal party!!!

Eeeeeek, sorry for posing you in that bright, bright sunlight, but I had to take advantage of that pretty view! :o) You guys rock!

Told ya!!!! BEST bridal party!! :o)

AND one of the sweetest couple! I’m one lucky photographer! :o)

My favorite of the day! WHAT A PLACE!

I could take photos of you guys every day! SUCH a happy couple!

One from Darcy, LOVE the light!

And two more from Darcy:

Can you believe that place???? We came just in time! PERFECT light – even if it was a *bit* chilly by that time :o))

A few detail / interior shots :o)

And a photo of sweet Jen & Dennis who got married last year :o) Hi guys! :o)

Alright, I’ll confess, I didn’t know which ones to post, so here are a few from their first dance. SO pretty!

Smiles, smiles, smiles!

Way to make even the famous table shot fun! :o))

Party photos!!! And boy did they have a party! Put 200 fuuun people, an awesome band and a really cool DJ in a big room and see what happens! Good times!

And uhm yes …. they had fireworks at their wedding! Way to finish a fun wedding season (for me). Seriously …. who’s gonna top that? THANK YOU GUYS! Wow, wow, wow!

A very special THANK YOU to my second photographer and dear friend: Darcy Babers

I know I don’t get to share photos taken in Colorado often enough, so I think this one is a little treatie for all of us :o) I had the HUGE pleasure to photograph 2 super sweet sisters not too long ago. I don’t get to work with kids that age very often and boy would I know for sure that they’re all as easy to photograph, would I not shoot anything but that age :o)) Thank you for being soooo sweet AND patient that day (you guys would NEVER guess how windy it was! OH MY!)
