Aly and Brooks got hitched

Aly and Brooks, I can’t say enough about your family and friends, everyone was so gracious, warm, and a ton of fun to be around. This was a destination wedding located in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. It was a beautiful resort, however, we didn’t have the best weather. Just so you all know, it rained while there! I’m not talking about a little thunderstorm, I mean a monsoon hovered over the resort for 5 days. The whole group took it in strides and didn’t allow anything to bring them down. Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your big day. I had a wonderful time, the images turned out fantastically, and I’m extremely glad we got you two up at sunrise on Sunday for trash the dress. Here are some of my favorites from the weekend.

5280 Magazine Debut

Chris Hibner — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 22:29:30 +0000

A few months back I got my first assignment from 5280 Magazine, it was an argumentative piece on cheap or designer jeans. The shoot took place at the Blues Jean Bar in Cherry Creek. I have to say being the first shoot for them I was pretty excited and really wanted to knock this one out of the park. When shooting on location you never know what your going to do until you get there. You can go through setups in your head but the creative juices really start when you get on site. Since the subject was an inanimate object I didn’t feel the need to take lights. Instead I used the ambient light in the store and a tripod. I walked around the store and captured every inch of that place. I was there about and hour and ended up with 300 or so shots. The photo editor picked this image from the batch. Here’s a link to the article online.

Sharayah & Joey’s Engagement Session

What a great session, I really enjoyed working with these two. Not only where they fun to work with, they wanted to shoot at places that aren’t typical spots for an engagement session. We started around civic center park and walked over to the Denver Art Museum. While chatting we started talking about graffiti walls, I mentioned I knew of a place and before I knew it we where on are way. I’m really glad we went, they turned out to be my favorite of the day.

Another great thing about this shoot is I got to play with some new gear that was purchased. I purchased some new pocketwizards and speedlites which added a lot to these awesome shots.

Congrats Sharayah and Joey!

Amelia’s 1st birthday party

Chris Hibner — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:56:53 +0000

It’s crazy how time fly’s, just last year I had the pleasure of photographing Amelia when she was about a week old. Now look at this cute little girl celebrating her 1st birthday. I’d like to thank the Humphries for inviting me to the big party at Monkey Bizness. As you can see from these photos we had a wonderful time.

DJ Mada gets lit up

I had a shoot with Adam (a.k.a. DJ Mada) the other day and we knocked out some really cool shots. I switched up the lighting quite a few times during the shoot and the results are fantastic. Big thanks to Adam for being patient while changing out setups. One great thing about trying new lighting techniques is that you have a good idea of what you want it to look like but can’t completely tell until you snap the shot. Some of these are new setups for me and they’ll be in my arsenal from now on. These are my favorites from the shoot.

DJ Scene destroy’s Robusto Room

DJ Scene put on a clinic at the Robusto Room a few weeks ago. Peter asked me to shoot this event and I couldn’t wait to check out what he would lay down. He destroyed his set with mashups from all genres. If you missed this show, you truly missed out. The dance floor was packed, the booty’s where shaking and everyone really enjoyed themselves.

The Easley’s visit….

Chris Hibner — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 06:46:33 +0000

I love the holiday season, it always means friends and family are coming into town. The Easley’s (unfortunately minus pops, he was working) came into town to visit family and thought of me to setup a session. I feel so honored when they think of me during their busy schedule, and to think it happened twice during Thanksgiving. The Easley’s moved to the south a few years ago and I haven’t seen em since. Their two little ones (well not so little anymore) are as cute as a button, I mean look at these pictures! Thanks for thinking of me, we got some great stuff. This was the first time I’ve shot at Cheesman park, and I think it’s my new favorite.

The Dubosky’s Visit

Chris Hibner — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:36:36 +0000

I was so excited to hear the Dubosky’s where coming into town for a visit and that they thought of me to setup a session. I haven’t seen them since they moved to Chicago and it was great to reconnect. Once again, it’s crazy how fast little ones grow up. Last time I saw hazel, she was tiny. Thanks for including me on your visit, we got some great stuff.

So I met them at their ski in ski out house in sol vista, needless to say it was a beautiful day. Here are my favorite shots from the day.

Bogen’s are growing up fast

Chris Hibner — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:26:12 +0000

I can’t believe how fast kids grow, last time I took pictures of Riley she was just a little baby. Colten is such a big boy as well, running around talking in full sentences, it’s just crazy. Stacie and Travis, my hats off to you, your kids are adorable. Once again I had a fantastic time with you all and look forward to our next session. Here are my favorites from the shoot.

Gino Velardi backstage images

Chris Hibner — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:11:05 +0000

Here’s the first group of backstage images from the Gino Velardi show. I had the pleasure of being back there while/during the show was going on. These are some of the images before and after the show. I had a studio setup backstage and my main job was to get images of each piece before it hit the runway. Gino has other plans for those images so I can’t post them just yet, however, enjoy the ones I can post.
