I'm sure there are lots of photographers in this world who can take photos as well as me, or at least edit in a similar way. But making beautiful photos of your day should only be half the experience. You need someone you are excited to spend the day with, someone fun. I pride myself on making photo-taking not just bearable, but one of the most memorable moments of your day. I will tell jokes that

make your fiance snort-laugh, help your mom take deep breaths, get your grumpy grandma to smile and make sure Aunt Susan doesn't look as drunk as she was. Visit my website to see my work and my full pricing! Can't wait to chat :).

A whole lot of serendipity took place when Rachel hired a carpenter, Tim, and made him a home cooked meal while he was working on a deck project for her.

The sparks flew and never stopped flying, so after building a beautiful life together with many more sweet moments along the way (including raising mini donkeys and alpacas on their adorable farmstead together) they decided to elope to Colorado and I had the pleasure of having them in front of my camera for their special day!

P.S. If I go missing it’s because I ran away to their farm and am cuddling with the alpacas 🦙

If a ‘little bit of rain’ is good luck, then a torrential downpour has got to be some next level luck and Lauren & Lane completely earned it after their elopement last week. These two, along with their guests, ventured from much warmer states (Texas and Louisiana) but still embraced the cold and rainy weather with so much laughter and endless amounts of joy. They were just happy to be getting married in such a beautiful place! Here is a little look at some of my favorite moments during their elopement experience!

Jacqui and Mat live in Australia, but had an epic US & Europe vacation scheduled this summer and during their Colorado leg of the trip they decided it would be the perfect place to elope! Jacqui’s best friend from university and her partner live here and were able to witness their beautiful mountainside ceremony, share some celebratory champagne and explore the town with them afterward! It was the perfect sweet and simple experience they were after! Here are a few favorite photos from their elopement!

✋🏻 If you don’t swipe to the last photo in this post you’re missing out 😏

It was so wonderful meeting Zach and seeing Liz (my childhood nextdoor neighbor from 20 years ago 🤯) for their engagement session last week! It really is amazing how social media can keep people connected from so many different parts of our lives ❤️

The sunrise was showing off, so we encouraged Zach to show off too by convincing him to do acro-yoga.. for the first time.. on a picnic table in the woods 😂. The fact that he said yes and they made it look this awesome will never not make me laugh. And I’ll just let the rest of these magical photos speak for themselves because holy wow it was a good one!

Every time Mountain Crust has catered a wedding I’m photographing we have *the best time* and I’ve been dying to shoot at their new venue since they first announced it was opening so I was immediately excited when Paige and Pierson reached out to me about their wedding day! The excitement just escalated from there after getting to know these two, learning that they’d be including the cutest dog of honor ever, Archie, in their wedding day and having the most fun reception ever - with beer b**g, a caricature artist and (of course) the Mountain Crust pizza food truck!

I’m so glad my (dog obsessed) team and I got to document Archie’s humans on their best day ever with both photography and videography and can’t wait to share allllll the good stuff, but for now here is a little preview of photos from the day!

Theo had the biggest ever smile on his face watching his parents get married this week and I did too because Lydia and Stephen were the sweetest and SO much fun to photograph! The sunrise was breathtaking, and well worth the dark and early wake up call for this sweet little family of 3!   Here are a few sneak peeks from their elopement day!

👋🏻 Just over here slacking on sharing stuff on social media because June has been a busy one, but I’m excited to finally share a little peek at the photos from Beth and Tim’s wedding day!

The epic sunset is just a little extra proof of how magical their day was, but this one was extra special to me because I’ve known Beth and her family for almost two decades and had a front row seat to watching her love story with Tim unfold. It was such a privilege to photograph their wedding. ❤️

It’s a coincidence that Katie and Johnny’s favorite thing about each other is “everything” because my feeling is mutual about these two, all of their favorite people that came out to celebrate with them and their wedding day in Crested Butte this past weekend!

I’ll just be over here obsessing forever about these photos AND the privilege of documenting such an incredible day. Here is a (not so) little preview of photos from their best day ever! 🏔️🪻

Lizzy and Philip eloped to Sprague Lake in RMNP from Illinois last week and they so badly wanted to see a moose during their visit to Colorado - but especially on the day of their elopement!

The struggle was so real narrowing down which of Sam and Shira’s wedding preview images to share on this corner of the internet because every single moment, human and detail of their day was just too good 🥹. Here are just a “few” of my favorites that show off these two and their perfect wedding day in Estes Park last weekend!

There are so many fun stories to share about these two, so stay tuned for a blog post in the future. For now, I’ll share the adorable story of their first date!

“Sam, ever the romantic, walked up to Shira at the planned meeting spot, got down on one knee, pulled out a ring pop, and stared up at Shira with a big cheesy grin, asking her to go on a first date - we’ll see about marriage! We laughed about it and moved onto the reception - Sam brought a thermos of hot toddies and rainbow insulated mugs for us to enjoy on our walk through the park. We walked around for 2.5 hours talking about our lives, pop culture, holiday plans, and more, and by the end it was clear we were both interested enough in a second date, so as we said our goodbyes, Sam made one more big play (in the context of November 2020 because COVID) and asked Shira if she could give her a kiss. and we did! Date 2 was in the books for next weekend, and we both walked away with grins on our faces.”

Memorial Day weekend is when the busy wedding season begins and I can’t think of a better way to start things off than with Chris and Bridget’s beautiful wedding day at The Manor House!  I had an incredible team of 4 there and we got to document every heartfelt moment of their day in both photo and video form! The weather was perfect, their first look was full of happy tears, their handwritten vows were so touching, the toasts were some of the sweetest I’ve heard (including a surprise birthday cake and all of their guests singing happy birthday to the groom’s mom!), the dance floor was full of energy all night long and most importantly of all, Bridget’s dress had ✨pockets ✨!

Here are a few of my favorite photo moments from their wedding day!

When I asked Effin and Terry what they were looking forward to most on their elopement day they said “Holding hands with my intended before, during and after our marriage; as we held hands from the first date and will hold hands every day for the rest of our lives!” So, the happy tears have been flowing over these two since before I even met them in person!

They didn’t have an official proposal, so instead they shared the sweetest words about their journey of falling in love:

“From Effin: I honestly do not know when I first fell in love with Terry, but I do remember the first time I thought “Oh hell, yes – this is magical.” We were moving in together and tackling the assembly of an IKEA bathroom cabinet together. We approached the assembly identically: read the instructions, count out the parts to make sure they were all there, read the instructions again, and then move step by step through the instructions. It was flawlessly built on the first try – and we loved that we built it together. It set the foundation of how we would build our life together. Step by step, planning together, constant communications, adjusting when something did not seem right, laughing and taking breaks throughout the process – and a lovely end product!

From Terry: I honestly kept looking for those “red flags” – when you find out the ugly truth about the person you are dating. That’s what I had encountered in my past dating life. But after two years, and then three years, and then six – there are no red flags. Effin is exactly the person she was the first time we met.”

Here are a few of my favorite photo moments from their elopement in Boulder last week!

I’m nerding out over here 🤓! I never thought I’d be able to see the Northern Lights from my own front door!

Comment on this post with your favorite photo you took of the aurora borealis and tag your location! I want to see them all 😍.

(Yes I’m a photographer, but yes I just took these on my iPhone with a 3 second exposure because I was enjoying the moment with my kiddo vs fussing with my fancy camera 😅)

When Sprague Lake got hit with 51” of snow less than 72 hours before Rick and Eyerei’s elopement and the couple got surprised with the bride’s 87 year old mother flying in from Korea for their nuptials we knew it was time to pivot to a backup plan that didn’t involve being up to our knees in fresh powder for the ceremony!

I started calling around to all of my favorite venues near RMNP and The Landing at Estes Park absolutely saved the day when they answered the phone (and on a Saturday, blessss) and were available to host the ceremony at their beautiful venue on Monday!

Rick and Eyerei drove to Estes on Sunday to check out the space in person, fell in love with it and we officially pivoted to this dreamy backup plan for their elopement the next day!

Their church pastor officiated a beautiful ceremony by the riverside, and their friend serenaded them by singing and playing a song on his baritone ukulele while they took communion. Then, we all headed over to Latitude 105 and they celebrated with their guests for the rest of the night!

Here are a few of my favorite photo moments from the day! Can’t wait to share their elopement video, and the sweet ukulele tune soon too!

Liana and Elliot ventured to Colorado from California, for the first time, and decided that it would be the perfect place to take engagement photos! The weather was crazy that weekend with rain, hail, thunderstorms and even snow - but we got the very best of it for their sunrise session in Boulder!

Liana and Elliot met in college, where fate had them cross paths in a writing class. Liana caught Elliot’s attention from the moment he walked in and he went from considering switching classes to choosing to sit next to her, which is when their story began to unfold.

Their classroom crush turned into fun dates and now they’ve built a beautiful life together, exploring nature with their dog Archie, binging Netflix shows, and going on adventures around the world together!

I’m thrilled their travels brought them to Colorado, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to capture their love in photos!

Lauren and Bobby’s elopement at Sprague Lake on Thursday was such a heartwarming and love filled experience. Before walking down the trail aisle together, they shared a private first look while their family waited at their ceremony spot. Meeting their families at the dock for the ceremony felt like a beautiful reunion and the tears were flowing during the entire ceremony. My face muscles literally hurt from smiling so hard behind my camera! Even though there were still some snowy patches along the trail it was a sunny gorgeous evening. And as the best surprise ever, we spotted a wedding moose on our way out of the park (Bobby immediately named it Bullwinkle) which made an already incredible day that much more magical!

P.S. Lauren’s mom handmade her gorgeous wedding sleeves and veil and her dad handmade her headband, she looked absolutely radiant and the added personal touch was *the best*

A little sneak peek from Kelsey & Zach’s sunrise engagement session last week! The location was a bit of an ice skating rink but none of us fell off the mountain, the lighting was perfection, we had the place all to ourselves and the photos of them are absolute magic ✨
