KBPI Mass Wedding 2012!

“Hail Nasty!” is what they yell – KBPI-ers from all over Colorado converged at the top of Red Rocks for the Annual Mass Wedding on Valentine’s Day to be married by the one and only, Uncle Nasty.

Uncle Nasty and his side-kick Matt “Cupid” Need asked us to photograph the event for their fans, and we couldn’t be more honored! I (Jewels) love this event and look forward to it every year – what a great way to spend Valentine’s Day – surrounded by so many people celebrating their love! I’m starting to recognize some faces as it’s not only for newlyweds – lots of couples come to renew their vows too.  It’s so fun for me and I get to meet so many awesome people!

I took a lot of portraits and gave away a photography session and an 8×10 to one lucky couple – Penni and Mike. We had the best time messing around and because of it, we were able to give them some fun wedding photos (even though they were renewing their vows after 15 years of marriage). They were so fun to work with!

This was the biggest crowd to date and next year they hope to get the folks from Guiness Book of Records out! Here are a few of my favorites….Hail Nasty!

Love this candid of Mike & Penni!

Who will the lucky winners be next year…?

Mt. Vernon Event Center!

Mt. Vernon Event Center is conveniently located in Golden, and owned by the sweetest couple – Brenda & Tom Major. We had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Clara & Adam there a couple of years ago and thought they had the right idea. They have built a beautiful and lush garden to hold your ceremony complete with a grand gazebo, AND there are so many beautiful spots to take photos! We get out there several times a year to be a part of their monthly Tasting. The food is ALWAYS delicious, the staff and Event Specialist Jean, are ALWAYS so sweet and kind to us – not to mention wonderful to work with! We can’t say enough nice things about them and this venue. Visit them on the web at www.mtvernoneventcenter.com

Here are a few favorites from Clara & Adam’s wedding.  Being so close to Red Rocks, we were able to get away before the ceremony to do some fun Bridal Portraits there and around the town of Morrison…enjoy!

Venue & Catering: Mt. Vernon Event Center

The Indie Six Calendar

The annual Indie Six Calendar is bigger and better than ever! We spent all of 2010 working on it with the girls of Indie Six Salon, from concept, to each shoot, to the final product and presentation at the Calendar Release Party on December 3rd.  All photography is done by Jeff & Jewels and the hair, makeup, body painting, costuming, and models are by the ladies of Indie Six.

We were so excited to be asked to do this project as it let us get back to the fashion industry where Jeff started his photography career, and the avant garde style that Jewels loves.  We were able to try some different things and appreciate the opportunity to work with such a fun group of ladies.  We are so proud to show it off and hope you love it as much as we do!

The INDIE SIX Salon 2011 Calendar Release Party!

Indie Six Salon to Unveil 4th Annual Calendar on December 3rd, 2010

2011 Calendar to Feature Stylist’s One-of-a-Kind Talent and Artistry in Hair, Makeup and Body Painting

DENVER, Oct. 1, 2010 — Indie Six Salon (http://www.indiesix.com) announces the release of their 4th annual calendar that highlights a mix of style, fashion, and cutting edge artistry that the stylists have become known for in the industry. The 2011 calendar will be showcased at a release party on Friday, December 3rd where each of the photos will be finally unveiled to the public.

Indie Six’s trademark style has set the bar for beauty and fashion in Denver since they opened their doors in 2005. Each year the stylists capture the fun, the eclectic, and the down right fashion forward in a collection of photos displaying their rare talents in a calendar format.

The 2011 Calendar is a collaboration of each stylist’s vision. This year’s calendar includes on location shoots all around Denver. They have included iconic Denver locations such as Bandimere Speedway, Grant-Humphrey’s Mansion, and of course Red Rocks.

The Indie Six calendar in 2009 was noticed by Denver Post reporter Elizabeth Aguilera for not only the stunning photos, but also for their ingenuity in staying above other salons in a tough economy (http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_11389609). In addition to 12 months of photos, the calendar also includes a VIP card, which keeps their cult client following continually coming back throughout the year.

For this year’s calendar shoots, Indie Six turned to the creative photography of Gray Photography (http://www.jeffgrayart.com). Gray Photography specializes in wedding and pin-up photography, but has also contributed notable work in classic car magazines.

The location and co-promoter of the Calendar Release Party will be at Casselman’s Bar & Venue in downtown Denver. The new photos will be on display, as well as some of the costuming, props, and creative pieces behind the shoots. Indie Six will be hosting live entertainment and guests will also have the opportunity to enter a raffle to win valuable prizes from additional sponsors. This is a 21+ event.

Indie Six 2011 Calendar – $30 (immediate pre-order available through the salon and is highly recommended since they sell-out every year.) Visit the website for updates at www.indiesix.com.

Lyndsy & John’s Engagement photos at Red Rocks!

Lyndsy & John hired us after a couple of our past brides recommended us to them (thank you Amber Stead & Bailey Smith!!). We hit if off immediately and they hired us to photograph their September wedding! They were also the recipients of one of our VIP Cards so they got their Engagement Session for FREE! We took them up to Red Rocks and hiked around while stopping to make them kiss and hold each other a lot…we had a great time and can’t wait to photograph their wedding day!
