WOW! WOW! WOW! Deanna and Gavin put together a wedding featuring one of Denver’s most prominent churches, Immaculate Conception Cathedral, along with Denver’s most famous landmark hotel, The Brown Palace.

Needless to say it was a huge honor for me to photograph this wedding along with my associate photographer, Ben LaMarca.

A June wedding is suppose to be filled with sunshine so Robyn and Joe brought their own sunshine when Mother Nature decided the Breckenridge mountains needed some rain. The outdoor event at Grand Timber Lodge was moved inside for a love filled ceremony and the reception at Beaver Run Resort was filled with laughter. One of my new associate photographers, Ben La Marca, backed me up with some great images. Here are some of my personal favorites of the day. To see a slide-show of the full day click here.

New York City Engagement Shoot, Ali & Justin

John Hudetz Weddings — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 05:49:37 +0000

What a blast it was for Elizabeth and I to follow Ali and Justin around NYC where they live, play and work. The visual opportunities are endless. We walked 42nd Street, took the New York Subway to Columbus Circle, then explored Central Park. In the evening we took a New York Skyline shot from the rooftop of Ali and Justin’s condo building. After that we went to Times Square, found the ‘LOVE” sculpture by Robert Indiana that was alluded to in the book cover design for Eric Segal’s novel “Love Story, which starred Ali McGraw, who our Ali was named after. Also, their dog, Rocco, a Rhodesian Ridgeback found his way into several pictures. We are looking forward to photographing Ali and Justin’s 2011 wedding on St Lucia Island in the Caribbean. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot, but you can also check-out a slide-show of the day with a visual surprise near the end. (Something new I’m experimenting with.)

Elizabeth and I had the most enjoyable time photographing Marisa and Daniel’s wedding in Los Lunas, New Mexico with a reception at The Isleta Casino in Albuquerque. A gorgeous day added to the beauty of this lovely couple, their fun bridal party and their amazing families and friends. A wonderful backdrop of the day was the Rio Grande River that we used for some fun bridal party shots. I’m posting some of my favorite pictures of the day here, but if you would like to view a slideshow of the entire day, please click here.

Vice-President Joe Biden Portrait Shoot

John Hudetz Weddings — Tue, 04 May 2010 05:10:04 +0000

Last week I had the honor of photographing Vice-President Joe Biden while he was visiting Colorado. I photographed the Vice-President with several key Colorado Democrats including Congresswoman Betsy Markey. I found him to be a very energetic man, full of life, who found the time to genuinely connect with the people who crossed his path, including myself. I was happy to get a portrait of him that I feels shows a glimpse into his authentic self where he relaxed for me and my camera. Here are a few shots from the shoot including one that he insisted on which includes me along with the Vice President and Congresswoman Markey. My favorite is the last one. In the art of truthfulness of photojournalism all pictures are straight-out-of-camera with no enhancements, Photoshop etc.

DENVER ISES Event at Catering by Design

John Hudetz Weddings — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 05:22:45 +0000

This past week I photographed a fun event for The International Society of Event Specialists (ISES), Denver Chapter. It was hosted in the industrial space of Catering by Design, one of Denver’s premier catering companies. I’ve been a member of ISES the past four years and have valued the networking and educational benefits of being associated with Denver’s finest event planners, caterers, event venues, other photographers, entertainment companies, decor companies and other vendors involved in the event planning industry. For this particular event, attendees where put into teams who were challenged in a specific area of event planning by having to come up with a creative idea in a specific area like food preparation, table decor, mixology and a DJ song list. A panel of four distinguished judges selected the winners in each category. A fun time was had by all. Here are some of my pictures from the event.
