Colorado Wedding and Portrait Photographer – Jennifer Schumacher Photography bio picture

Welcome!

This blog records my photography and a little bit of my life too.  I'd love to learn more about you so write a comment
on a post or send me an email.

A photography session with me is about having fun and being you.  My style combines casually posed photography with thoughtful candids.  Behind my camera I look for flashes of authentic emotion and connections between people.  In front of my camera I want you to relax and have fun.

Boulder Wedding Photography

January 12, 2010 at 3:30pm

A gorgeous Colorado wedding.   Jocelyn got ready at the St. Julien Hotel and the intimate wedding was held at The Kitchen in Boulder.  I love when my couples incorporate things that are meaningful to them into the wedding and The Kitchen was a special place because it is the site of Sean and Jocelyn’s first date.  The space was perfect for the small intimate wedding they planned.  Not to mention the food was spectacular… My favorite photos from the wedding are here followed by a slideshow that tells the whole story.

I met Jocelyn at the St. Julien to document her preparations.    A bride in a bridecage veil and green Jimmy Choos – She was stunning.

Immediately after the ceremony I followed Sean and Jocelyn and recorded these sweet and intimate moments.

I loved this candid moment between Jocelyn and her sister while we were organizing the family portraits.

Probably my favorite photo – although I have several close seconds…  While we were waiting for Jocelyn’s dad to bring the car so we could go and take photos at the St. Julien I got this tender snuggle as Sean put Jocelyn’s stole on  – doesn’t it make you melt?

A great candid at the reception.

The food at the Kitchen was sooo yummy.

I love a dip at the end of the first dance.

Reviews for JSP

December 17, 2009 at 9:03am

Yeah, another happy bride and groom.  This review is from Karin and Dan from their wedding at Ryssby Church and Rembrandt Yard.

“Jennifer and her husband Steve worked as a team for our engagement photos and wedding. They went above and beyond our expectations and captured some great moments that will be long lasting memories for us. We really appreciated that they took the time to get to know us on a personal level before our wedding which made working with them on our wedding day seamless and comfortable. The resulting images are real and beautiful.”

Boulder Winter Wedding

December 8, 2009 at 9:29am

A wedding at the St Julien Hotel and The Kitchen – what a wonderful wedding to finish my year.   The final wedding of the year is always bittersweet – I am looking forward to a little holiday down time but I know I am going to miss photographing weddings even for this short time.  And Jocelyn and Seans’ wedding was beautiful.  They were such a fun and elegant couple and I loved working with them.

This post is just a tiny sneak preview – I’ll post the complete story and slideshow later.  As you can see Jocelyn was a classic beauty- all I can say is birdcage veil, mink stole and green Jimmy Choos.  She even had a vintage nightgown and had me do a mini boudoir session before she put on the dress.  I had sssooooo much fun at this wedding and I cannot wait to show you more.
