Back in July we visited San Diego for our annual vacay out there, and had the omni-talented Sara France do a fashion-y shoot with my gorgeous wife, and a short portrait session with my little family (see the pictures here).  I had heard great things about Miss France, and she didn't disappoint!  Sara was so sweet and kind, and creative, and inventive, and exciting, and, and...we just couldn't have been happier with everything we received.

Thank you Sara for giving us such a wonderful experience--and beautiful images of course!

Hope to see you soon!

Sam and Emily came to me through Heather at Calluna Events, and I'm so grateful to have been a part of their day.  Sam and Emily have actually been married for a few years, but decided to celebrate their marriage with friends and family in Boulder, Colorado at the Sacred Hearth church, and Chautauqua Dining Hall. 

We were blessed with absolutely stunning light that afternoon, and a beautiful evening--I'm so happy that they'll have the memories to share forever.

Sam and Emily, I'm so grateful to have meet both of you, and to be part of your wedding day.  I wish you both a life full of wonder and excitement.

Cheers.

I'm so happy to finally be sharing these pictures.  I met up with Brooke and her husband, Hawk, back in September when Brooke was 36 weeks, if I remember correctly.  They've since given birth to a beautiful and healthy little boy.

Brooke and Hawk, thank you for allowing me into your home and getting some beautiful shots of the three of you.  I wish you both the best of the best!

Cheers.

Oh, it's been way too long since my last post.  Lots goin' on here at the Morgan household. 

But, I'm so happy to finally post a wedding from mid-September.  Christa and Jason were one of my most beloved couples this year. The both of them carried themselves with such confidence, and calm energy, and carried with them a great deal of hope for the future. And the fun these two have with each other is inspiring (and cute, too!).

Jason and Christa, I wish you both the very, very best.  The future holds bright things for you!

Cheers.

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real..."

Kelli and John's hands were clenched tight as they listened to a reading from the Velveteen Rabbit, their attention drifting between the reader and each other.  Cool air pushed dangling branches of weeping willows from side to side, the sun poking through every so often to dance on their skin.  It was as graceful as a scene from Gone with the Wind.  It was elegant, touching, and real--especially for me.

Just three years ago, on the same labor day weekend, my wife read that exact passage to me on my wedding day.  So Kelli and John, I wish you the same joy and partnership that I've been graced with, and hope you "lose all your fur."  And that the "sawdust inside you feels like it's going to burst."

Kelli and John were married at the Hudson Gardens in Denver, Colorado.

Thank you to Kevin Von Qualen for assisting me at this wedding.
