My friend Dave caught me in action from across the room at a recent rehearsal dinner party we photographed up in Denver. I thought the shot was cool because he caught my flash going off plus you can see how much fun everyone is having!

We recently received this note from the mother of one of our brides. While we can brag ourselves up all day long, it's words like these from our clients that have so much meaning and give insight into what it's like when Image Factory covers your wedding day:
I can't tell you how many hours I have just sat and looked through
Aerianne and Chris' pictures. They are absolutely phenomenal!!
Some of the pictures have made me laugh and others have brought me to
tears. It is as if I was reliving the whole day! You all caught things that I
never saw.....like Mike putting his hand on Chris' shoulder when
Aerianne and Ed were walking down the aisle.....Aerianne and her
Grandfather....and the precious series of pictures of Aerianne and Chris
right after the ceremony.
We had many of our family and guests comment on your enthusiasm, your
patience, your professionalism, and your ability to be everywhere at
once but not be intrusive. Many commented that you and Tim appeared to
enjoy the day as much as the rest of us did - and would have
thought you were part of the family! Thank you again for capturing their special
day! Ed and I will be placing our order very soon. Also, we would
like for Aerianne and Chris to have a larger album then the one they had
originally planned on. Please let us know what they select.
God's Blessings.
Rebecca

Last weekend we had a wedding that's probably as close to our own backyard as we'll ever get. We photographed Brian and Mindy's wedding at Fox Run Park in the Black Forest. The wedding was a simple affair but genuine, colorful and we had lots of opportunities for cute flowergirl portraits!
Giving grandma a kiss...
Some outrageous shoes!
The last nervous minutes before walking down the path...
And a gorgeous sunset under the trees to wrap up the day!
Our clients are really our biggest source of advertising -- it seems everyone who works with us becomes a raving fan and talks us up to their friends so it was no surprise when this family contacted us after receiving a hearty recommendation from our CSCS Cheerleader banquet in April.
We went up to Palmer Lake to make some portraits of the family on their land with the home in the background...
But couldn't resist having some fun with the kids and making some fun portraits for the hallway...
The holidays and Christmas are closer than you think! Now is a terrific time to schedule family portraits with Image Factory and we can take advantage of the evening light, great weather and soon the aspens will start turning!
Call (719) 219-9791 or e-mail us today to set up your session!
Last Friday we headed up to Cherokee Ranch & Castle in Sedalia, just a little west of Castle Rock to photograph Olivia & David's wedding. Here are a few of our favorite images...
Real moments -- the first look at the dress with mom & the maid of honor checking out our stunning bride.
Incredible details!
Fun portraits - The traffic heading up was awful...we left Colorado Springs 2 hours ahead of the wedding so we should have arrived a good 1 hour early but a hazardous materials spill on I-25 shut down the road so long that we arrived 15 minutes late! Our good friends from Johnson & Johnson Photography came to the rescue and were already making awesome portraits when we arrived.
It didn't take long to calm things down and start making some fun and relaxed portraits of the bridal party:
Then came the rain! It rained so hard and so violently we felt like we were in a tropical storm! Terry from Johnson & Johnson Photography packed the ladies in his truck and backed them down to the waiting limo.
Dad seeing his daughter as a bride for the first time..
After drying out, Olivia was her happy self and the wedding went on!
The boys looking too cool on the steps of the church.
Time for some quick portraits back at the ranch & castle...
And now it's time to party! Fine food & details from Epicurean Catering.
The guys made sure the bartender got a great workout!
A happy ending.
In another in our continuing installment of coolest wedding couples around, we photographed Sara & Jason's engagement the other day at Castle Glen Eyrie. These guys were totally fun, laid back and most of all, in love and into each other. It's so great to photograph clients that are all about having a great time don't even worry about posing because they totally trust us to deliver incredible images. The fact that these guys are rock-star gorgeous is a nice bonus too!
The highlight of the grounds is a 19th century castle but there are so many other great places for portraits, here's one at the stucco wall by the stables:
On the steps of the castle:
In the courtyard:
The bride will be walking right down this grassy path when he gets to see her for the first time on their wedding day:
You gotta be ready to have fun!
We even had a visit from some local friends:

Tuesday we took the drive to Fort Collins to photograph Shannon and Scott's wedding at the beautiful Tapestry House.
The grounds were beautiful, even in the heat of late July, with flowers accenting the Victorian home.
The flowers attracted some special guests!
The house was gorgeous by night too.
Someone left a special 'signature' in the bridal parlor.
Shannon's mom helped lace up the dress.
They wanted some 'different' pictures and had fun with a 'Bond 007' theme for a few portraits. Scott picked up the Sean Connery pose quite well while Shannon made the perfect Bond girl.
The grand porch on the house made a perfect portrait location.
Scott and Shannon were quite the swing dancers, flying all over the dance floor and through the air. I've never seen a bride get this much air!
Just about every photographer in the nation was busy on July 7, 2007 -- THE wedding date of the century! We were fortunate enough to photograph April and Adam's wedding in Central City, Nebraska (DeAnna's old stomping grounds).
The day started with hair appointments for the ladies and golfing for the guys:
Ring Security on the job - even at the golf course. It’s a VERY important job.
A little bit of sweet....
...and sassy!
Getting ready.
We set up the photo opportunity so that we could capture Adam’s emotional moment when he sees April for the first time on their wedding day…
BUT…Adam couldn’t resist the moment for a joke. He traded his tie for the ceremony with this hunter orange tie paired with the camouflage vests…
Surprise! Another moment was captured by IFP
April was good-natured about the joke and took it in stride – On your wedding day it’s all about having fun!
Life is a “journey” necklace. (Adam's gift to April)
The boys looking good...
Riding in style with Central Limousines of Grand Island, NE.
The real stylish ride was an '80s Grand Marquis with the top torched off!
A midnight ride in the “Chop Top” after the reception.
Some intimate quiet time with April & Adam before the reception…
Another a beautiful cake design …Elaine Graves in Aurora, NE
Ask about the cream cheese mints - YUM!
A romantic moment on the dance floor…
Another beautiful wedding – the moments captured by Image Factory Photography
Thank you April & Adam and your families for allowing us to be a part of your special day!
-Tim & DeAnna
