Pre-Wedding Photographers Checklist

I mentioned on twitter (@hayesphoto) something about my pre-wedding checklist not long ago and another photographer commented on that.   So figuring that someone found it interesting  I’d post since other’s out there might benefit from it, or comment back with their own additions. So for me the day before the wedding is gear check...

Catfest – Help Support the Dumb Friends League animal shelter with photographer Jaime Rowe

Most people know I spent 15 years working for the largest (and in my opinion one of the absolute best) animal welfare organizations in the rocky mountain region, the Dumb Friends League.

Christies of Genesee – Deb and Steve's Colorado Wedding

Normally when I blog about a wedding I like to give a little blog lovin to the other vendors that helped make the event special for the couple, but in my haste to get some images ready for my friends Deborah and Steve I overlooked the other vendors a bit, so here’s a post to...
