Welcome to Colorado Springs Daily Photo!


Hi, I'm Tamera, a professional wedding, portrait and boudoir photographer in Colorado Springs. But this blog isn't about my professional work; no, it's a daily love note to my beautiful city, where I've lived for most of my life. I love it here and I hope you enjoy seeing Colorado Springs through my eyes and lens!

The Royal Tavern in Manitou Springs


I took this photo last month while shooting a wedding -- this was actually a test shot to gauge the lighting for some bride and groom portraits (for the curious, the wedding can be seen HERE). The Royal Tavern is right on Manitou's main drag, Manitou Avenue, in the heart of their tiny downtown. When I was in college I always wanted to go there, drawn as I am to dive bars, but was too chicken because there were always tons of Harley Davidsons parked outside. At the time, Manitou was a little less yuppified and a little more biker-fied ;o) Now lots of people seem to hang out at the Royal Tavern; its tough biker reputation has mellowed a bit over the years. Maybe I'll go and check it out one of these days.
