Ireland – old, green, rain and storm – part 1

This year’s wedding season started for me with a trip to Killarney in Ireland. It was dream of mine come true: Going to the Emerald Isle with a camera. – I wanted to discover the mystical beauty of Ireland. After all of the  official work for the wedding was done,  my wife  Tammy  and I took off and explored Ireland’s beauty with my camera.,

Everyone has pictures that pop up in their minds when it comes to Ireland: It’s green, lush and old. There are castles, narrow streets, hedges separating grass pastures to keep  in the sheep and long coastlines. Did you know that Ireland’s coastline is  about 4660 miles long? – … and there is the WEATHER. No one expects sunshine or warm temperatures on the green island. As a matter of fact, I told everyone that I would be deeply disappointed if we have sunshine during our trip. Ireland didn’t disappoint me at all.

What can I tell you,  is that all the preconceived notions came true and I found exactly what I  was wanting to find in Ireland. Unfortunately we only had one week for our trip, because we had a plane to catch in Dublin to bring us back to to Denver. My wife and I made a promise – we will come back.

Check out part 1 of my Irish views.

I felt very honored and proud when I received the news that the creators of Photodoto picked my website for their article about 50 brilliant Photo Sites of Professional Photographers. In their blog post about brilliant photo sites they use my website as on of 50 examples to explain other photographers how to put a professional online portfolio together.

The veil

Last weekend I photographed Tori and Adam’s wedding in Denver at the Brown Palace. I have photographed  Victoria, or Tori, as everyones calls her, since she was 8 years old.  So far I have documented many important moments in her life. It was a special honor for me, when Tori asked me to photograph her wedding. Here is an important moment of her wedding day: the Veil.
