James and LaDawn

James and LaDawn were all smiles all day long. I don't think I have one photo of LaDawn not smiling! They held their ceremony in Hawaii about a month earlier, and decided to have a reception in Denver for everyone to help them celebrate their new life together. Can I say their two little boys totally melted my heart. Sooo cute!

The family was game for anything as we took portraits in the park, which makes everything more fun. We avoided getting the bride and groom doused by the sprinklers just as we were setting up for their last portrait.

I do have to apologize to LaDawn and James - Sorry that I didn't eat at your reception, the food looked amazing, but sometimes it makes me sleepy, and sleeping on the job wouldn't be good :) Congrats to you both and to your new family!!!

Bridgette and Daniel's Wedding - Phipps Tennis Pavillion

Bridgette and Daniel's wedding was held the same day as my own. A week after they decided they wanted me to shoot their wedding, I had to change my own date to a week later than originally planned, which landed me right on their own date. So, we discussed some options, and they decided to stick with me and I would find photographers, Scott Cejka, and Kristy Rowe, to shoot under my name for the day. They did an awesome job! From the photos, it looked like a really fun wedding. I laughed my way through editing these.



Daniel has a 1000 mega-watt smile ... always!

I had never heard of this - all the bridesmaids signed the bottom of Bridgette's shoe for good luck.

She looks like an old time movie star here

One of my favorite photos of the whole shoot
Love all the expressions!
So sweet - as they walk down the aisle.

Thank you Kristy Rowe and Scott Cejka for shooting this wedding for me!!!

Marisa and Alex Wedding - 12.27.08

As I said in my last post - their sneak peek - Alex and Marisa are the sweetest, kindest couple you could ever hope to meet. Their wedding was on a beautiful, albeit windy, winter day. We tried doing some portraits outside of Mount Vernon Country Club, but if we would have stayed out any longer, we might have lost our fingers and toes to frostbite.

Marisa's bridesmaids were her two sisters, and Alex's groomsmen were his two brothers. It is very apparent that they both come from very close families. It is also very apparent how in love these two are. Thank you so much to Alex and Marisa for letting me be there on your important day. Congrats!

And thank you sooooo much to Kristy Rowe of Moodeous Photography for second shooting with me.

Sneak Peek of Marisa and Alex's wedding

What a great wedding to end the year on! Marisa and Alex are about the sweetest people I've ever met. Here's two photos I couldn't help put up as I was storing their photos. Keep coming back, more to come in the near future (about two weeks). Also, if you'd like to be alerted when their photos are up on a web gallery to view, please email me at kara@karapearson.com, or leave me a comment here.

Jes & Dave are married!

I met Jes and Dave first while doing their engagement portraits, and they were such a great laid-back couple, I was excited to shoot their wedding. Jes was all smiles all day - so photogenic. And what a kiss! They were married August 9, 2008 at the Denver Tennis Pavillion. Rain threatened all day, but it never fell so we were able to do some portraits in the gardens after the ceremony.


Dave needed help getting dressed, and his groomsmen got right to it.






Someone's flash lit up Jes and her dad perfectly while I was trying to get a different shot from outside through the window. Thanks for the help!
Luckily, no one was hurt in the catching of the bouquet.


I've been traveling and shooting since my last post, so much more soon to follow from other events.
