The power of autumn compels you!

Peak Week is the most amazing time of year for colors in Colorado. It's the perfect balance of fully turned yellow leaves against the rich blue October sky. And if we're lucky, it's around 55-60 degrees during the magic hour, making it comfortable for an autumn e-session in the field.

But light becomes more scarce this time of year, and next week it'll be dark by 5pm. So we photographers look forward to Peak Week all year. It's just as busy as the peak time of summer wedding season. But it's not 90 degrees out, so it's great!

Kat and Ben had such a great time during their springtime e-session that I invited them to another seasonal shoot, this time in during fall in a remote grove south of Boulder. An amazing location, thanks to Photography by Heather Gray for the suggestion. I liked the place so much I photographed two couples there in the same week. Peak Week doesn't last; and I miss it already.

Our next session? Their wedding! It's on New Year's Eve, with a fine ceremony at my favorite church interior in the city, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, and reception to follow at the University Club. Very excited.

Stay tuned for more autumn color madness.
