There’s something about the brisk November weather that brings out the romance in the air. Andy and Jen’s evening wedding took place at beautiful Space Gallery, which is nestled in the heart of Denver, Colorado’s Art District on Santa Fe Drive.  Their love for each other was such a beautiful thing to behold, and their vows didn’t leave a dry eye in the room.

During their first dance, they swayed around , as Jen put it, “like fools in love.” A big thank you to my dear brother-in-law Ryan assisting me at this wedding and creating even more stories to share.  Ask me  sometime about the first dance, a lit candle, and glass on the floor. Thank you Andy & Jen for letting me celebrate with you!

Jackson was such a happy little model, and no “accidents” were involved in the making of these photos. We hope you enjoy the first professional photos of this cute little guy and his family.

I (Mell Bell) couldn’t wait to share this image from Andy and Jenny’s wedding in Denver, CO! They chose the beautiful Space Gallery as their venue, which is nestled in the heart of Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe Drive. Can you tell it was only 40 something degrees outside?

More fun to appear in the coming weeks

Sienna recently got her braces removed and is going to turn “sweet 16″ next month. What a great time to celebrate with a portrait session! She braved the VERY early morning (also known as sunrise) to come to the Old Sheldon Church Ruins for her session. Here’s a few of my favorites:

Matt was so kind to share this video of his very excited wife seeing her wedding album and surprises from our studio for the first time.  This video is almost as good as being there.  Thank you Lauren and Matt!!! You two rock!

This mommy is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and even teaches classes. He’ll be coming to the local dojo kicking beside his mommy late this September.

This picture reminds me of Captain Planet, an earth friendly cartoon from the 1980s.

Nathan had a fun shoot scheduled with Lora Lynne and her mom downtown in Waterfront Park, and I got to go with him. How could I not go when there’s an adorable baby involved? This was our studio’s second session with Lora Lynne, and we were so amazed at how fast she’s grown. This session was to get a Christmas surprise for her Grandmas. The pair has such great smiles, and here are some of our favorites from the session:

Look at how big I am

The session ended with Nathan showing Lora Lynne a few of her photos on the back of the camera. I think she was pleased.
