Alive Studios, lead by Benjamin D. Buren, is a group of passionate photographers who use the natural wonders of the Colorado Front Range as their sandbox and studio. Although Alive Studios focuses on wedding and portrait work; commercial, artistic and specialized photography projects are enthusiastically embraced as well.

Wedding Photography with Alive Studios
Benjamin, the primary photographer, has been making amazing images of wedding celebrations for about ten years. Over *** unique and amazing celebrations have contributed to the development and refinement of his unique style. Some call it photo journalistic/classic; others have noted Benjamin's ability to capture an amazing array of moods and situations. A pensive moment of anticipation while putting your wedding dress on, laughing children and laughing friends, family dynamics at their best, the expression of love and commitment shared... All these moments make up your special day - Alive Studios can capture it on film.

Working with Alive Studios as your photographers will include two phases. In the first phase Benjamin will spend approximately one hour showing you portfolio work, discussing your vision, and developing a unique approach to your wedding celebration. If you then choose Alive Studios, we will become involved in the planning of all aspects of your wedding, focusing, of course, on photography.

On The Celebration Day, Benjamin and an assistant photographer show up about */* hour before the agreed upon time to meet with wedding planners, scope out the environment and light, and begin preparing to capture the ensuing magic. We then shoot all the events and images that were agreed upon, using multiple cameras, B&W and color film, natural light or flash, and a healthy dose of creativity and skill. A dramatic photojournalistic storybook will be built form the images we interpret and the magical events which transpire.

Next a professional lab is employed to develop full sized *" x *" proofs. From these photographs, about **% of the images are selected for the proof album. This album is meticulously assembled in such a way that you will re-experience the ambiance and magic of your celebration day as you flip through it. Many couples actually use this proof book as their primary wedding album. Alive Studios will present this proof book to you two weeks after the celebration. It is yours to keep, at no additional charge.

All the elements of phase one; capturing your wedding, the presentation of proofs, our personalities and professional attitudes, and our photography skill are all equally important. Alive Studios is committed to going beyond satisfying your expectations; we strive to delight you with the results.

After presenting the proof book, we then we enter phase two - reprints, enlargements, and albums. There are a myriad of options to choose from. You are not obligated to buy "packages", or commit to a certain number of reprints, it's all up to you.
