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...
A lot of people struggle with the decision whether to have a private elopement or a more traditional wedding. Elopements give you a lot more flexibility on when and where you go. Plus, there’s an undeniable magic about spending the day focused solely on the person you’re committing your life to. But for some people...
Mariah & Lance’s Hoosier Pass elopement was one of my absolute favorites, largely because of all the things they did to make the day truly what they wanted. First of all, it was technically *two days*. Like many couples, they struggled with the decision of whether to have a small elopement or a large wedding....
Tracy and Justin chose a Wild Basin Lodge wedding, just like Nate and I. AND they were only a few days off from our anniversary! I felt like we were kindred spirits of sorts as soon as we met and that feeling only increased throughout the wedding day. I knew Tracy was an absolute fanatic...

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...
When I first met Brianna and Scott, I immediately knew they were an adventurous couple. Their first idea was to take engagement photos inside a gym. However, the logistics and timing of finding a place that would allow it proved difficult. Instead, they opted for outdoor engagement photos and chose a hiking path outside of...
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...
