Best of 2014...

What a crazy - awesome year 2014 was! I shot weddings in Colorado, Missouri and even Mexico. I had a ton of shoots but best of all I got to spend time with people I love the most. Without further ado, here are some of my favorite images from this year.

Sean & Chloie - a midwest love story

I've known Sean for over 10 years, he was one of the first people I met when I moved to Colorado Springs. Since that time he has become like a brother to me. When he left The Springs to pursue a career and a new adventure in Kansas City I was really bummed. I have come around, I love that his time in KC has treated him very well. So well that he found his bride to be there.

Chloie is awesome! She is a school teacher, laughs (a lot), and isn't scared of adventure. No joke, she dropped everything two summers ago and moved to South America to take a job. With her fun personality and adventurous spirit she and Sean are a perfect match!

The love birds came out to The Springs a couple of weeks ago, and we went to the trolley car museum for a fun and unique engagement session. Yeah, I said "trolley car museum". Totally random but awesome.

In March I have the honor of being in Sean & Chloie's wedding!

Officer "Bobby" Jeffords Colorado Springs' Finest

I had the honor of doing a surprise photoshoot for my friend Officer "Bobby" Jeffords. He retires tomorrow after serving the City of Colorado Springs for 35 years, aka serving since I was one year old. He is a true gentleman, and always the "good cop" on any scene.

I'm better at photos than words (typically), and since the local paper did such a nice writeup on "Bobby J.", I'll let their words suffice.

Meet the Neff's! Kansas City Missouri Wedding

I've known Alisha for going on 17 years - it's hard to even believe that! We met in 1998 when I was stationed in Missouri by the Air Force. Over the years we have shared many laughs, and have ridden the roller coaster of dating (not each other, just in general, ha ha). Alisha hoped and prayed for a wonderful guy to make her husband. Well that day finally came and I was honored to be there to celebrate as well as capture the wonderful day.

She and Phillip are wildly in love. The love they have for each other was a tangible as the Missouri humidity. They laughed so much on their wedding day a week ago - they are perfect together!

My beautiful wife was my second shooter, she has quite the eye.

The Neff's this is everyone, everyone this is The Neff's!
