To celebrate our sister-in-law Lisa’s birthday, Andy came up with the great idea to go to Trapeze school! It’s not so much a “class” as it is just getting harnessed up and giving it a fly. What an unbelievably fun time! The Imperial Flyers is an amateur Flying Trapeze and Circus Arts club operating a rig in Westminster, Colorado. They show you the ropes and then you just take turns flying on the trapeze bar. We were even able to pull off a couple tricks. It’s pretty much a jungle gym for big kids. Perfect for our group, we’re going back for sure!

my best advice is don’t read the waiver, it’ll only scare you. just sign it…

the uncertainty is showing on the birthday girl lisa’s face, but we’re not letting her leave without a try.

lisa and angie do their stretches…

lisa takes the “step of faith” — 40 feet off the ground, unharnessed, socks on your feet, the heart begins to race…

the crew gets you harnessed up and secure (finally!) and talks you through the fact that you’ll be jumping off the platform in just a few seconds…

and the first swing! pure adrenaline, with just a pinch of fear….but once you get your first swing, its an absolute blast!

and the release into the net…

lynn sidled up to the platform.

and couldn’t stop laughing the entire time…

andy exhibits stellar form on the bar…or is that bart conner???

andy’s release into the net….also a bit unnerving to let go of this thing when you’re so far off the ground.

and the dismount flip back down to mother earth. so good to be on the ground again, but then you can’t wait to go back up!

angie enjoying her swings, and narrowly avoiding a butt smack against the platform on the back end of a swing…

brian pulls off a great leg hang! its a little tough to force yourself to climb up on the bar and hang upside WHILE you’re swinging….

not to mention the feeling of “what now???” when you’re swinging upside down! it’s actually pretty easy to climb back and grab the bar again…

brian’s reverse hand hold to perform the “half-turn”

lisa and lynn both perform a couple awesome split maneuvers!

lynn dancing across the net of traquility….

happy birthday lisa!

Thanks for your VOTE!! ~Dave & Lynn

Erin and Scott are such great people, and we struck an instant rapport with them the night we met to talk about their wedding. Erin summed up our feelings about working with them in a thank you letter she wrote us after the wedding:

“Thank you so much for your beautiful and truly inspired work on our wedding day. You are both such talented artists and your presence was calming and uplifting to us both. It was like having two more friends at our wedding! Thank you again!”

Ditto for us Erin & Scott! Thanks for having us be a part of your day and making us feel like we were photographing a good friend’s wedding!

They used Scott’s family military sword to cut their wedding cake..Scott’s grandfather cut his wedding cake with it, and Scott’s father cut his wedding cake with it….and yes, so did Erin & Scott. Way cool family tradition!

Meet Jill & Finch…actually, Jill is now Mrs. Finch. Finch is still Finch. And he’s Ryan. Well, Ryan Finch. Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Finch. Or just Mr. and Mrs. Finch. Or just “Jill & Finch” as they’ve been called ever since they were dating. Don’t bother making sense of any of that, all you need to know is these are two fun people. We had so much fun photographing them all evening, and we even had a lot of people in common at their wedding, including Robin who married us last year. How cool that was to see her performing another ceremony since ours!

Many congratulations Mr. and Mrs Finch! You guys are fantastic people, and we wish you many, many happy times ahead!

Jon & Angie had a fantastic, intimate wedding at Samplings Restaurant in Frisco, CO. They surrounded themselves with just their close family and friends, and LOTS of amazing food! Their ceremony was short and very, very sweet, with everyone gathered in the front of the restaurant to witness their marriage. We’re always blown away when a 6-minute civil ceremony in the front of a restaurant can move you to tears as much (if not more) as a 1-hour mass in a grand chapel! For those of you out there worrying a little too much about the details of your wedding, take it from Angie & Jon….what matters most is the two of you and the people there to celebrate with you.

The ceremony was followed by cocktails, and an amazing 5-course meal. We have to give a huge plug to Samplings Restaurant in Frisco, those guys put out an awesome spread, with amazing food combinations and fantastic wine pairings with every course! Highly recommended!

Thanks Angie & Jon for having us photograph your day! We wish you a lifetime of happiness…
