Yup, more weddings!
I had the pleasure of photographing this extremely fun couple in their BEAUTIFUL backyard ceremony last month.
The photos speak for themselves, fun and gorgeous. A photographer’s dream!
My kind of girl!!
Awh <3!

The last month has been an absolute roller coaster for me.
I promise to spare too many details…
In early June I took two back to back trips; the latter of the two was a trip out to California to photograph a beautiful simple beach wedding
^Check out that bride!!
I even got to have my beautiful mom as a second shooter (how cool is that!)
And of course, my little man and I had a blast
Shortly after arriving home (very shortly…like, the next day) I photographed yet ANOTHER wedding
The new Mr. and Mrs. Benneman!
You would think, with all these weddings lately that I’m a wedding photographer. How deceiving I am!
No joke, only the week after we had our grand opening at our new studio.
Honest to goodness, I’m not sure how I haven’t fallen over yet.
The Studio 303 is our cute little spot in Downtown Castle Rock. All of my favorite places to shoot are nearby!
A lot of people have asked me if this means I’m “going back to studio work”
Like the notorious cake smash!
To answer everyone’s questions- no, I’m not “going back to studio work”. But, I do now have a dedicated space to show products, do sales (curse the horrible online shopping cart!!) and have a cake smash that the parents don’t need to clean out of their living room.
(this little cutie was the very first person to christen the new space!)
That being said, I still see the value in studio work and I know that for some clients it’s easier to come to me.
I had just as much fun getting this new adorable gerber baby inside of my studio and I was happy to accommodate.
Have I totally overwhelmed you yet?
I promise that the weddings, the cake cutie, the beautiful gerber baby and all of the oplove sessions I’ve done over the past month will get their own blog post.
In the middle of all of this chaos, I’ve been dealing with my own personal issues at home.
I want to say thank you to every friend, client and colleague who has reached out during our times of struggle.
I believe my business has led me to the most amazing people and kept me strong.
Thank you to all of you for your understanding, patience and love. I’m looking forward to a new month and lots of happiness.

Yup, I’ve been slacking. Slacker might be my middle name…
Not really, I have good reason.
For those of you didn’t know- side note. Debra Dean Photography & I signed a lease on a studio at the end of May (more info to come).
Then, I had a vacation. Right after, I jumped on a plane to photograph a wedding.
So Ames, this has nothing to do with how much I love you. Thankfully, I know you know that.
Now that the explanations on posting are out of the way, I’d LOVE to introduce the new Mr. & Mrs. O!
For some strange reason, this was by far my favorite photo. I think it was her laughing and smiling.
Most of you are aware, I don’t do large weddings. The weddings I do cover are few and far between.
That being said, I’ve known Amy since before she was old enough to drive (no lie)
And Ames, I found it quite ironic that Dashboard came on Pandora while I was posting these….
anyways, it was a huge honor for her to ask me to photograph their wedding.
We never know how we affect and inspire people and Amy was there for me through some pretty rough spots when I was young.
Although we had a very different kind of friendship, I felt like she was a sister at times. Irreplaceable.
Thank you Amy (and Joey!) for letting me share your day. It meant the world to me.
Practicing pre-ceremony
Her laugh has ALWAYS been absolutely infectious.
Impromptu Beloved...works every time!
Ring passing, LOVED it!
A pretty awesome walk back down the aisle!
Bride and Groom- everything screaming vintage to me!
Big sword, cake....awesome.
I overdid it a *little*
This girl rocks all my socks.
Thank you Amy for everything you’ve allowed me to see, be a part of and share with you in your life.
Thank you Joey for trusting Amy with the crazy photographer.
Congrats.
(Yes, there are more previews coming. Promise!)
