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 to have either a small elopement or a large wedding. They...
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...
When I was a little girl, I wanted a dog SO bad. I was relentless. I did a lot of research to tell my parents why we should get one (which was a lot harder to do in the 90s). My parents finally gave in and we adopted an adorable Chow-mix fluffball from the Denver...
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...
One of the best parts of being a Colorado wedding photographer is discovering all the beautiful locations this state has to offer! This was my second Chief Hosa Lodge wedding, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite “hidden” venues. Owned and managed by the Denver parks department, it’s a beautiful stone building with fantastic...
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...
Gorgeous wedding! Loved the first look location!
I love these so much!
Wow- what an incredible setting for this wedding! Colorado has the most incredible landscapes and places. The Stanley Hotel is on my bucket list – I’ve been to Estes Park twice and just haven’t had a chance to go there! Anyway, your photos are GORGEOUS! Congrats to the lovely couple!
So pretty! I love the deer casually lounging behind the couple during their rest look. Colorado is so pretty and you captured it so well!
WOW, that first look was unreal! Also love they chose the Stanley Hotel for their celebration- huge Stephen King fan myself! 😉
I love the variety of focal lengths you used and that first look photo is unreal!! So good! Gorgeous Estes Park wedding!
This has got me so excited to go out that way next June! Love the captures of the elk.
Loving all the detail shots- this wedding looks so amazing!!
