Laura and Justin’s idyllic Blackstone Rivers Ranch wedding, just a stone’s throw from Downtown Denver, had all the elements of a magical wedding.

Weekend at Beano’s | Steph & Brian

November 23, 2018 From the Hip Photo1 comment

We’re in the midst of a particularly cold winter here in Denver. While the ice and snow make getting to work a little less fun, one upside of the chilly weather is the early opening of many of Colorado’s ski resorts. Stephanie and Brian managed to beat both the cold and the crowds at their Beaver Creek Resort wedding late this fall. The crisp fall air was perfect for taking photos outdoors, and it certainly helped that all the aspens had begun changing colors! A Mountain of Activities Beaver Creek Resort is a major ski resort owned by Vail Resorts. The company owns several other ski resorts in the state. Although winter sports are the resort’s biggest draw for visitors, the resort hosts activities all year long. Maybe you want to spend the day with a private snowboarding instructor. Or maybe a day at the spa is more your style. Whatever your interests are, Beaver Creek has it all. The resort even has its own village, complete with dining and shopping options. One of these fine dining options is Beano’s Cabin, which Stephanie and Brian chose as the venue for their Beaver Creek Resort wedding. Beano’s

Customized Comfort | Bespoke Edge

November 5, 2018 From the Hip Photo

For centuries, we’ve been using the idiom “it fits like a glove” to describe well-fitting garments. But it’s 2018 now, and we don’t wear gloves all that often anymore. Frankly, we think it’s about time for our entire outfits to start fitting well. Working in the photography industry, weddings and other formal events tend make up the bulk of our business. Because of this, we are especially appreciative of the work that Bespoke Edge does to help Colorado’s men look their best. Bespoke Edge offers stylish, custom menswear for the modern man (or groom!)
