Eric Stephenson Photography Blog bio picture
  • Welcome to our blog!

    We love photographing people. Hi this is Eric - I picked up a camera before I could even drive and have been photographing people and places ever since. I grew up in Boulder and Milwaukee (actually Brookfield if you know the area), and lived and studied abroad in Oaxaca, Mexico. I returned to Boulder to ski and earn my bachelors degree at CU, taught Spanish at the University of Wisconsin -Madison, and eventually launched my career as a professional photographer in New York City. One of my most memorable adventures was riding a bicycle through Europe for four months and photographing what I encountered.

    Hi, I'm Moni. I grew up in the Denver metro area, but I am originally from Cambodia. Eric and I married in 2005, and soon after that I began working in our photography business. When I'm not behind the camera or designing albums at the computer I love cooking exotic dishes from around the world (fortunately we both love spicy food!) and spending time with our nieces and nephew. Between the two of us, Eric and I speak four or five languages, but English is the only one we have in common!

    These days we specialize primarily in weddings and portraits of children, families and high school seniors. We also photograph quite a few mitzvahs and other events. We hope you enjoy seeing the photos we post and reading about our adventures!

Hilary and Matt’s gorgeous wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel in Denver

Moni and I had a blast photographing Hilary and Matt’s stunning wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel in October.  We photographed their engagement session up in Vail earlier in the year and had a great time then, and they were just as wonderful to be around and photograph on the wedding day.  They are such a sweet couple, and the day couldn’t have been better.  Alisa Zapiler of Creative Events & Occasions did a fantastic job planning the wedding.  The ceremony had a chic,  modern, and luxurious look and feel that was unlike any we had seen before.  The reception was simply spectacular with wonderful flowers by  Newberry Brothers.  Here is a small sampling of photographs from throughout the day.

Liz and Wade’s Vail Wedding at the Larkspur Lawn and Four Seasons Vail

We just photographed Liz and Wade’s beautiful wedding up in Vail.  They are wonderful individuals and such a fun couple.   Moni and I had a fantastic time photographing their wedding on the Larkspur lawn followed by a wonderful reception at the new Four Seasons Vail.  Those are both gorgeous venues and the day couldn’t have been more perfect.  We had quite a bit of rain that week, but fortunately it was sunny and beautiful during the ceremony!  We  photographed the couple’s engagement session up in Vail earlier this year, and at that time we all decided it would be fun to stroll around downtown Vail a bit and capture some great photographs of the two of them on their wedding day.  Here are some of the photographs from the wedding ceremony and from that walk around Vail with the newlyweds.

Meg’s High School Senior Session

We had a wonderful session down in LODO with another one of our fantastic seniors.  Meg is a 2011 senior at Colorado Academy, and she was so fun to photograph!  Meg is an absolutely amazing gymnast, and we posted a photograph showing one of her fantastic gymnastic moves.

Dylan’s newborn session

One of the things we love is photographing the families of couples whose wedding we photographed.  We had a wonderful time photographing Kacie and Daniel’s wedding, and we are now thrilled to be photographing their new little girl, Dylan.  Not only is Dylan absolutely a cutie, but she was a perfect little angel on the day of her session. Her mom had a wonderful pink tutu and some great flowered headbands for little Dylan.  What a stylish newborn.  We love it!

Liam’s newborn session

We have been photographing a lot of babies lately.  Here are a few images that we created of little Liam here at our studio in Stapleton.  We photographed Liam with his dad, John, and his mom, Nimol. Liam is the first child for Nimol and John and quite an adorable baby.  Part of what makes our job so much fun is helping to document families as they grow and change throughout the years.  We photographed John and Nimol’s engagement portrait, then their wedding and now a year later their newborn son.
