Trystan Photography: An Intimate Portrait.

Renee and Robert wanted a small wedding.

Renee was adamant that she have awesome wedding photos, no matter how small her wedding might be.

So she hired Charlotte and I!

How lucky for us!

I’m serious. A wonderful and beautifully simple ceremony in the cute little Red Rock’s Chapel followed by nearly 2 hours with just the couple in a place as gorgeous as Red Rocks in Denver?!? How lucky are we!?!

I’ve said it in many blog posts before, and still, I can’t say it enough: ample time with the couple in a picturesque spot with time to play (and especially time to get to know them)… it’s a wedding photographer’s dream.

Some photographers ask us why we would take the time to photograph a small wedding?

Well my kind colleagues: these photos are why!

I don’t think I need to use words to describe how stinkin cute this little guy is. I love the ones we took outside by the fence and wall. Hayden really liked eating the leaves, Yummy!

A few days ago we realized something was different about our boy, Trystan. A strange, guttural gurgling would growl from his mouth and he would get this really devilish look on his face…

Is he Damian, Chucky, or the Taz the Tasmanian Devil? You decide, and please comment.

I just recently spent an hour or so taking a few pictures of our own kids. I never expect much from these photo shoots. Ages 2 and 1 are probably the most difficult ages to photograph, especially when they’re your own children. They did a pretty good job and we got to have some fun playing in our jungle of a backyard too (note: If there are any landscapers out there that have any photography needs, we should talk!). They both look so grown up in these pictures. Ella’s really turning into a little ham and Trystan has the best hair to style! There are quite a few in the slide-show, I just couldn’t help myself.

Such a beautiful little family!  Gracie is 6 months old and by far my favorite age to shoot. I truely love shooting all children, but 6 month olds make my job just a tad easier. Most can’t walk or even crawl at this age. They usually can’t talk and they definantly can’t say (what my 2 year old says so well right now), “NO”.  But the best thing of all is that they’re usually full of precious little smiles and lots of funny facial expressions. The Amendt’s were such a joy to photograph and I can’t wait to take some outdoor photos of them this summer.
