The 4th quarter of 2results of the Wedding Photojournalists Association photo contest were released last week and Colorado photographers won around 15% of the places! Congratulations to all the winners of this major international competition.
Here are my contributions!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the Special Olympics Colorado 2012 State Basketball Championships at Gold Crown Field House in Lakewood.
True confession here, I’ve never really considered myself a sports photographer. Seriously! I’ve covered sports of all different levels from pro football to little league baseball and everything in between but I’m more of what I consider a feature photographer, or a personal photographer.
Documenting this tournament reminded me of why I enjoy photographing weddings. I get a front row seat. Actually, I got an all access pass allowing me to moved around a lot getting close to athletes and coaches just like I do with families at weddings. The honest emotions and feelings from this perspective feeds my soul.
The Carter-Payne Event Center in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs recently hosted a wedding photo session in the 2,000 square foot Gothic styled church.
There are few things more fun in the middle of winter in Colorado than a warm beach vacation. We recently spent a week visiting our friends Cindy and Dan who rented a hillside villa in Sayulita, Mexico, to celebrate Cindy’s new job. The villa was named Casa Quetzal, after a cool bird with long tail feathers, that flies by in a flock every morning. Sayulita is a small village of about 4,000 people 25 miles north of Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific coast. It’s the crown jewel of the newly designated “Riviera Nayarit”.
