Welcome to Kent Meireis Photography Blog!

I specialize in wedding photojournalism telling each story from beginning to end. After working as a newspaper staff photographer including 10 years with The Denver Post, I fell in love with photographing weddings and launched Kent Meireis Photography. I want my images to be honest. They should capture expressions, emotions and personalities with a distinct eye for content, light and contrast. Photography is how I communicate with others, how I tell stories that are timeless and truthful, preserving them for future generations. I see my photography as a collaboration - a visual conversation between myself and those who invite me into their lives. My style of photography is dependent on the willingness of those I photograph to allow me in, to be open for my camera. I am interested in recording the nuances that might be missed in this fast-paced world. What intrigues me most is the beauty in everyday life. Whether I am photographing a child, a family, or a wedding celebration; I am attempting to capture those simple, honest moments when the human spirit peeks through.

Scott and Amanda

Scott and Amanda were married at the Maroon Bells Amphitheater near Aspen August 7, 2010.

My first stop was at Salon Tuillo where Amanda was having her hair and makeup done. Then it was on to the Jerome Hotel to meet up with Scott getting ready for their morning wedding. By 11AM everyone had arrived at the amphitheater.

Scott and Amanda had arranged not to see each other before their ceremony and it worked out perfectly. Scott caught his first glimpse of Amanda as her father walked her up the path before about 35 of their friends and family. Amanda’s dog, Tonka, a boxer made a great ring bearer.

It was a beautiful summer morning with a few clouds passing over the ceremony which was following by a luncheon reception at the Pine Creek Cookhouse one valley over in the upper Castle Creek Valley near the silver mining ghost town of Ashcroft. The Pine Creek Cookhouse is legendary in the Roaring Fork Valley as a rustic restaurant with great food.

After the reception Amanda and Scott wanted to go play around and take a few pictures at Ashcroft which still has about 7 buildings standing.

We finished the afternoon off back at the Jerome Hotel in Aspen with cocktails in the world famous J Bar.

Cheers, Kent

Jill and Craig’s Maroon Bells Wedding

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Jill and Craig’s intimate wedding at the Maroon Bells Amphitheater in Aspen, Colorado. The Maroon Bells are said to be the most photographed place on earth! When I showed up to photograph the peaks at sunrise, there were at least 150 photographers lined up around Maroon Lake to capture the fall colors in the morning light.

Jill and Craig’s afternoon ceremony was unbelievably beautiful. Following the newly married couple as they strolled along the beach at Maroon Lake as the sun was setting blew me away. They were having so much fun drinking champagne and taking in the amazing views.

Their reception was held at the Ritz-Carlton Club at Aspen Highlands in the Willow Creek Bistro where Chef De Cuisne, Jami Flatt prepare a wonderful sit down dinner.

Stacy Pisani of Alexan Events not only helped Jill and Craig coordinate their wedding but also designed all of the bouquets and floral arrangements.
