First Denver Magazine cover...
I recently projectile some men's wedding fashion (tuxes, boutonnières, accessories and such) for Denver Magazine, one of the two major city magazines in Denver, Co.

A little bit about the shoot also - We worked on two locations at the Oxford Hotel in downtown Denver and St. John's Cathedral in Capitol Hill.

Also present that day was Denver Magazine's Wendy Ledwitz and art director Tom Visocchi, a true pro and always delighted to help out any way he can (thanks for all the help and work along the way); fashion stylist Brittney Smith and hair and makeup artist Jeffery Fernandez. It was the first conditions working with both Brittney and Jeffrey and I have to say...
