I don’t hide the fact that I’m a pretty unabashed nerd.  So when I saw the Lord of the Rings themed wedding (along with nods to their other favorite fandoms) that Kimberley and Josh had planned, my geeky heart went pitter-patter.  Some of my favorite ways kimberley and josh used decor in their Lord of…

Part One: An Evergreen, Colorado Air BnB elopement in the snow Todd and Evan are another couple who felt pulled in two different directions.  They had a dream of exchanging vows in the secluded mountains of Colorado while snow fell around them.  That would be difficult for some of the guests they wanted to include-…

I absolutely adore when couples frame their wedding day in a way that perfectly reflects THEM. I am a huge proponent of throwing out the rules that say your wedding has to follow a certain schedule or look a certain way. John and Anna met while square dancing, and their family members are also avid…

* Updated, since as of 2025 the Denver Dumb Friends League is now called Humane Colorado.  I remember being younger and thinking the name was silly and kind of mean (long before I understood the two different meanings of “dumb”).  I guess enough people agreed with me that they have officially changed their name. You…

One of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer in Colorado is discovering “hidden” gems around our state. I had often seen a colorful dome peeking out of the forest between Fort Collins and Laramie, but I never knew quite what it was. When Mireille and Josh told me their Red Feather Lakes wedding…

Melissa and Matt had grand plans for an Evergreen Lake House wedding with a ceremony on the lake, but the weather certainly kept us on our toes. As I pulled up to the hotel where they were getting ready, the clouds were rolling in ominously. The girls were checking the weather every few minutes and…

As soon as I met Sarah and Andrew, I knew this was going to be a special wedding. First of all, they are two of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever met. They have already faced significant challenges early in their relationship and supported each other unconditionally throughout. And, while many brides may…

Chief Hosa Lodge weddings fit any style of celebration One of the best parts of being a Colorado Wedding Photographer is discovering all the beautiful locations this state has to offer! I’ve now photographed two Chief Hosa Lodge weddings, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite “hidden” venues. Owned and managed by the Denver…

I love when a couple uses a venue that holds special significance to them. In this case, Liz and Scott chose to hold the ceremony in her childhood church. Liz loved the idea of a Broadmoor wedding, but wanted the ceremony itself to be held at St. Paul’s Catholic church.  They struck the perfect balance! …

They say it’s good luck for it to rain on your wedding day. For Thuy and Eugene’s sake, I hope that’s true! Their Hudson Gardens wedding on the Fourth of July had to be moved indoors at the last minute due to some menacing storm clouds, but luckily the venue was quick to accommodate. I…

There’s nothing quite like the first wedding of the spring. The flowers are starting to bloom, while Coloradans wonder if it’s finally safe to pack away the sweaters for awhile. For Brian and Bethany, the day was warm but overcast; a perfect transition into the balmy months ahead. The Lodge at Cathedral Pines, just outside…

After planning my own wedding, I really can’t blame people when they decide to elope! There were many late nights of seating charts and glue sticks where I sometimes wished I had done the same. Elizabeth & Edward decided to skip the stress of a large wedding and opted for an intimate vacation weekend in…

Paul and Eileen had such a beautiful, sentimental ceremony. The church they chose – Ryssby Church in Longmont – is one of the oldest in Colorado. Although it was just above freezing outside and the church lacks electricity, the sole wood-burning stove did an amazing job of keeping us warm.  This Ryssby Church wedding reminded…

Angela and Chris had a beautiful wedding at Abiding Word Lutheran Church in Highlands Ranch.  It is the church they both regularly attend, which was obviously meaningful to both of them.  It was so moving to watch their closest friends and family join them in prayer and song to welcome them into married life together….

This was an extra-special wedding for me since the groom is one of my oldest friends and college debate partner (I fully embrace my nerdiness). I was excited to finally meet the woman he’s going to spend his life with, and I couldn’t have been more pleased to find out what a warm and amazing…

There may not be anything as beautiful as Colorado in the fall, right around the time the leaves start turning. Avery and Logan’s Estes Park Wedding at the YMCA of the Rockies was timed perfectly to capture the golden Aspen leaves and last remnants of warm weather. I knew I would like these two from…

When I first met Ellie and Baron, I knew we were kindred souls. One of the first things they told me was that they had met online in a game called League of Legends, which struck a nerdy chord deep within me since my husband and I also met through gaming! It may not be…

Jonathan and Stephanie planned a beautiful, intimate wedding in the mountains of Colorado.  It went very smoothly- probably because this was their second time doing it! They had reserved the date and started planning last year, but Jonathan’s grandfather fell gravely ill earlier this summer. They made the decision to hold a ceremony in his…

When I first met Ellie and Baron, they were getting married in three weeks!  That didn’t give much time for engagement pictures, but I wanted to make sure they still had some more casual photos before the big day; plus, it gave us a chance to get to know each other a bit better. They…

The day started off a little stressful for Blair and Kenneth; they had booked the lawn at Red Rocks for their ceremony during the winter and were never told that Global Dance Fest was scheduled for the same day! The traffic was a bit of a mess and there was a brief soundcheck during the…

Fatina & Forest had a wonderful 1920s themed wedding at the Chief Hosa Lodge in Golden, Colorado.  The stonework of the building and the beautiful natural setting provided a fantastic backdrop for the guests who showed their love by showing up in top hats, feathers, and flapper dresses. The ceremony incorporated some beautiful traditions such…

Denver Colorado Indian Wedding Ceremony Varun & Urvashi’s wedding celebration lasted the better part of a week, so I was very excited to take photos for them of the important traditions in the days surrounding the ceremony (including menhdi painting, cleansing the groom with turmeric paste, welcoming the bride home after the wedding, and LOTS…

Downtown in Denver, Colorado is a great location for engagement photos with scenic backdrops such as Union Station and Larimer Square.

The Centennial airport is one of Colorado’s many airfields that are perfect for an aviation themed engagement or wedding photography session.
