One by one and two by two, Kyle and Dan walked down the aisle in complimentary suits, watches, shoes, and smiles. What a joy it was to photograph this University Club Denver wedding. These love birds were everything classy, poised, and wonderfully smitten, and we could not have had a better time! The Venue The University Club of Denver is, we learned, a beautiful space full of cozy lobbies and old-fashioned garb with a classy social club vibe. The venue has grand carpeted staircases and hallways filled with mirrors and glossy lights. Its elevators are as shiny as the watch collection Kyle and Dan proudly displayed. While weddings are a popular event for this venue, the space is great for ballroom events, dinners, and meetings. Furthermore, University Club Denver is located in the heart of the city near all of Denver’s urban attractions. Check out some of our other favorite Denver wedding venues like Traci and Andrew at the Brown Palace or Brianna and Ben at Blanc! Two by Two’s Among stacked bookshelves and reflective wooden floors, Kyle and Dan were two perfect peas in a pod as they celebrated their marriage with their guests. The two grooms’ compatibility was clear not
With June comes vibrant colors and bursting blooms at every turn. With June comes summertime and brighter days. We thoroughly enjoyed shooting a Botanic family photo with the Spraco family at the Denver Botanic Gardens on a cheerful summer day! As you'd expect, this location is quite ideal for any photo shoot – especially one with an adorable family of three! A Year-Round Attraction! Located in the heart of Denver, the Denver Botanic Gardens is popular for its beautiful botanic displays, concerts, and event venue space. It is constantly changing its exhibitions and artwork, and it often has new events on the calendar open to the public! The Botanic Gardens even has winter light displays when vegetation is hibernating and Denverites are bundling up! Spraco Spunk There was no bundling up needed when we joined the Spraco family to take their pictures, though! These three had us gleefully dizzy with vibrant oranges, reds, and blues. Mom looked elegant in her flowing dress and heels. Dad and son looked dashingly handsome in their classy button shirts. A perfect meld between his parents, this boy’s plaid shirt helped make some adorable pictures with Mom and Dad! This little boy was sweet and
As if taking pictures of happy families and smiling babies weren't precious enough, try adding special guests and props to your photo session for an even more adorable and personalized flare! With dogs, baby science books and (our favorite) a stuffed fox animal, the Jackson family proved undoubtedly unique in their family photos at Bluff Lake! If you haven't guessed, we loved capturing every second of this cute family session! The Jackson 5 You might be thinking the famous American family music group, and this Jackson 5 is counting their ABC's as well... with their littlest addition! The Jackson family’s newest member turned one in August 2017, and we were honored to help this family celebrate! She had plenty of entertainment to keep her busy. Tiny toes and an obvious love of life had us gushing with “awww’s” over this previous toddler. The Jacksons are no ordinary bunch. Two massive dogs, Albert and Madison, made the best snuggle buddies. Plus, Grandpa was there for some cuddles as well! This blue-eyed beauty surely has all the love she’ll ever need in this family! She has all the genius potential as well. For example, a Quantum Physics for Babies book by Chris Ferrie made the trip, and this
Lauren and Thomas had an exceptional Devil’s Thumb wedding that was everything unique. With our love of color and our unapologetically enthusiastic personality, we are a unique company in the truest sense of the phrase.

From simplistic decorations to Lauren’s short, classic dress, this wedding was both charming and happy in every
On a radiant summer day, we went with the Winters Family to South Platte Park and Carson Nature Center. We love a good family photo shoot – especially when it involves a doggo and some cute kiddos! This park is perfect especially on a summer day, and we loved exploring this new location with the Winters for a beautiful summer session! New Adventures As adventure junkies who are always hungry for new inspiration, we enjoyed getting to know this family and this new location close to home! South Platte Park and Carson Nature Center is an 880-acre open space along the South Platte River in Littleton, Colorado. This place has got it all: hiking trails, walking trails, and a reservoir for all kinds of water activities like kayaking, fishing, and paddle boarding! Over the (South Platte) river and through the woods we chased light with Mom, Dad, their three boys, and their adorable 8-year-old bulldog, Sasha Grace. The three Winters boys looked like dapper young men in pastel-colored shirts and patterned neckties. Mom and Dad had outfits to match, and the whole crew looked as happy as spring itself! Really, you can do wonderful, creative things with lighting. Check out what
If there’s one thing we do best it's photography in Colorado. We have the tips, the tricks, and the secret spots that people absolutely love! So, when Gianna and Jason asked us to photograph their Lost Gulch Overlook sunrise engagement photos, we had to say yes! Especially since it was a sunrise engagement session (our favorite as of late)! Look Who’s Back – Back Again! Lost Gulch Overlook is one of our favorite locations because it offers numerous landscapes and absolutely breathtaking Colorado vistas for any occasion. Located on Flagstaff Mountain in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, it has mountainous terrain that stretches for miles, catches sunlight just right, and is easily accessible despite its high-up views. Not only are pets allowed, but the entry fee is as little as $5! We love this place so much we’ve even written a Lost Gulch Overlook guide to help you make the most of your session with us! The Whole Package! Not only did Gianna and Jason reap the benefits of this breathtaking location, but their outfits and, well, they themselves, were right on point! Beacause this altitudinous point showcases Colorado’s greens and blues, neutral tones always work well here. Jason’s white and tan combo made him
Question: what’s better than breathtaking Colorado engagement photos? Answer: an engagement session with one of our very own! Corianne, a beloved and past From the Hip studio manager, and her fiancée Kristopher invited us to photograph their engagement photos at Rocky Mountain National Park. Rocky Mountain Fever We love building relationships with every couple or family that we photograph, but it’s even more fun to capture the personalities and quirks of two good friends! These two artistic souls looked practically perfect against this national park’s mountainous vistas and shimmering lakes on a May day. Their love was more than obvious, and their appreciation of Colorado was clear, too! Rocky Mountain National Park’s 415 square miles include alpine adventures galore like trails, wildlife, starry skies, and peaceful camp spots. Its popularity among natives and tourists alike make it one of the most visited spots of our state. Located near Estes Park, Colorado, Rocky Mountain National Park is surely stunning at all times of the year with either walls of snow or swaths of colorful trees. Check out our other Rocky Mountain National Park engagement sessions with Rachel and Hunter and Amy and Matt. High on Love – and Altitude Corianne and

Octobers are for bursting colors on trees, hot tea cuddled under a blanket, and your favorite flannel and jean combo. Octobers, though, can also be for family outings for that perfect picture. We went to Meyer Ranch Park for the Grimes family photos among the yellow aspen trees. We loved capturing this family not only because of their amiable personalities and kindness, but also because they brought along two of our favorite things: an adorable little boy and dog! Something New: Meyer Ranch Park! One look at this location and you’re sure to be hooked. Meyer Ranch Park gave us the perfect blanket of fallen leaves and a most stunning backdrop of fall colors. Located just outside of Morrison, Colorado, this park proved both beautiful and peacefully quiet. We loved getting to know this new location full of aspen trees and cozy trails. As with most photo-shoots in the fall, we recommend wearing autumn-colored outfits with darker, moodier tones. Check out our post here about how to plan your family picture outfits! But, as these pictures will show you, any outfit will work with cheek-wide smiles and a few hugs and kisses! It's All Fun and Games! The Grimes’ baby boy really
