Ha ha, so this is nothing like my regular work, but I had such a blast photographing the 2013 Denver Derby . The Denver Derby is where Denver’s finest go to watch the Kentucky Derby and then break it down, and break it down they did. I have to say that this was my kind of party, I had so much fun and I have to thank the incredible Aimee Monihan from Tropical Occasions for inviting me to photograph it. The Queen City Jazz Band was there in the beginning, so if you know me you know I love to Lindy hop, so it was a pleasure to swing out to couple of songs while they played. I love photographing fashion and the Denver Derby did not disappoint. There were so many hats, dresses, bow ties, suspenders and did I mention hats? There was a super cool hat contest and the dames of Denver did not hold back; from custom hats to parasols it was great to see Denver get dressed up to party. So the whole event is actually a charity and the Sean Ranch Lough Foundation presented high school student Allegra stroud with a full 4 year ride to Colorado State University! Moreover; they surprised her twin sister Lena Stroud with a scholarship as well, It was sooooo moving!! Well done Denver Derby. So you are probably like, wow A.D., “this sounds like you were right in your element, with the great music, fashion and emotion!” Well, I tell you it just kept coming.. There was a surprise proposal on stage and it was just fantastic, the couple was so full of joy – and couples in love is what I do…so capturing it was thrilling, congrats you two! ! Then of course everybody watched the race… The Kentucky Derby remember! This is the biggest Kentucky Derby party outside of the actual Derby, they had almost 5,000 people. And when DJ Low Key started spinning every single body couldn’t help but to move. What a fun Saturday! 🙂
