Natalie & Scott: Married!

Erik Spring — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 04:34:10 +0000

In all our correspondence leading up to the wedding, I got the sense that Natalie and Scott's wedding would be a fun night with a pretty wild group of people. The group was small so everyone knew each other well enough to let the smack talking and good times roll! Toss in a western theme, some booze, cigars, and an unbelievable location and I'd say you have the fixings for a night to remember.

Jane & Fletcher: Engaged!

Jane & Fletcher took me to an awesome new location which I plan to visit again in the near future. We also went there at the best possible time of the year. There's just a few weeks here where everything is green, and this was during one of them. The minute I heard Fletcher is a fly fisherman I knew we had to incorporate that into their shoot. Fly fishing is something I've wanted to learn for a long time. It looks so peaceful and zen-like. Their new puppy was also great to have with us as he added a lot of fun to the day.

Jenn & Pete: Married!

I love being introduced to new locations, especially ones like this. Jenn & Pete chose to get married at the Meadows at Marshdale in Evergreen which is a very special spot. The area is beautiful and intimate, the guests were friendly and welcoming, and the whole day was a lot of fun. Congrats you two!

Amy & Will: Married!

Amy & Will chose to get married at the beautiful Sunrise Amphitheater in Boulder. What an amazing view from up there! The venue is nestled in the trees and it really feels like you're in the mountains. The ceremony was followed by a special reception at the Flagstaff House. You can't go wrong at that place!

Jenn and Pete have a great wedding planned in Evergreen, and it's just around the corner! We barely had enough time to do their engagement session, but I'm glad we were able to squeeze it in. Getting to know new people is part of what I love about wedding photography. These guys are no exception. I look forward to spending more time with them in the mountains at their wedding.

Natalie and Scott drove out from Iowa to plan their destination wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch later this summer. While they were in town we drove to a beautiful lake in the mountains for their engagement session. They're a fun couple who are down to earth and want nothing more than a wonderful wedding in the mountains. This was the perfect spot for their engagement photos.

Alli & Alan - part II

I met up with Alli and Alan again for some more photos. Here's the second part to their engagement session.

Alli & Alan - Engaged!

When I first met with Alli a couple of months ago she warned me that their families are a lot of fun and that I'd better watch out. Ha! These two are a lot of fun, and they're up for anything. We had a really great time in the mountains and enjoyed the little bit of snow we have left. I'm excited to shoot their wedding, it's going to be a blast!

Nathan - 4 months

Erik Spring — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 05:06:14 +0000

The past four months have absolutely flown by! It's been an amazing time though, and I'm loving being a daddy. I can't describe the joy Nathan has added to our lives. I'm of course taking way too many photos of him, but I can't help it. Here are some of my favorites from the past few months.

His shirt says it all...

Welcome Nathan Eli Spring

Erik Spring — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:46:48 +0000

We had our beautiful baby boy on October 1st. The birth was truly an amazing thing. I have struggled to get my thoughts in writing and have finally accepted the fact that I will never be able to articulate how it felt to be in that moment and to have our child in our hands for the first time. Maybe I lack the vocabulary but I just can't do it. I think you really have to experience it to feel it. Needless to say it was the most emotionally powerful moment in my life.
I could go on forever about that day.

He was born at 10:57pm at 7lbs-10oz, 19.75in. He's absolutely perfect, and Michele and I are both so in love with him. He doesn't do a whole lot right now but we can't help staring at him all the time. Everything he does is cute: sleeping, squirming, making funny noises, looking around at the world and yes even spitting up and pooping is adorable with this one. :)

Welcome to the world little man!

Love the do!

This is such a classic photo, it represents him so well. He sleeps like this all the time.

Mystery has definitely been affected by the addition to the family. He's been great around Nathan, he gently sniffs around and even gets in a quick lick or two now and again. I like this shot of big brother watching over the baby making sure everything's cool.

I love when he falls asleep on me and turns to jelly in my arms. The lips say it all.

Michele has gotten back to her love of crafting and hand made these great announcements.

Life has certainly changed, but without a doubt for the better.
