Sapphire Point, Breckenridge - Nicks Family Session

Sapphire Point on Lake Dillon is easily one of the greatest views in Colorado.  The Ten Mile Range is on full display and the walk around the point is nice and easy - until it wasn't!  

I met the Nicks Family at the point and was blindsided by the amount of snow that was covering the trail.  Although I was dressed in ski clothes, my clients were not.  I was also about to learn that Duck Boots come in both insulated and non-insulated varieties and the girls were wearing the latter.  

Judging by their smiles, you'd never guess how uncomfortable they were.  Did I mention it was 8 degrees (-13 Celsius)?!  Unbelievably, they didn't complain once.  The following photos are testament to them being such great clients.

Sapphire Point Wedding - Cody and Elizabeth

Sapphire Point in Summit County is a beautiful outdoor wedding venue above Lake Dillon with extensive views of the Tenmile Range.  I've shot a few weddings there, and I was excited to head back there to shoot Cody and Elizabeth's elopement recently.  

The weather was unseasonably warm, with blue skies and plenty of sunshine.  Not at all what anyone had planned on so late in the year!  Elizabeth was wearing her Sorel snow boots under her dress and there wasn't a single snow flake to be found!  

Following the ceremony, we headed into Breckenridge where they had lunch at Blue River Bistro, with one of the coolest (and yummiest) wedding cake's I'd ever seen.  Here are a few pics from their special day.

Breckenridge Family Photos - Matousek Family

I love Breckenridge!  Don't get me wrong - Vail is great, but there's something about the history and the main street area at Breck that I just adore.  

I had a recent shoot there with the Matousek family and we headed up Boreas Pass to make the most of the mountain views. The check list for the shoot was to include aspens, rock formations and mountain views.  We went up the pass and made about 4 stops along the way.  The last stop was about as far as I was willing to go. Holy drop off it was steep! I had to do an Austin Powers 50 point turn to get out of there.  It was well worth it though!
