Amanda and Brian’s Chautauqua Park wedding was the conclusion of a seemingly insurmountable task: plan a wedding in two months. (I know, I know….unthinkable in today’s wedding climate!) But not only did they make it to the finish line, they did it with style. So how does one plan a wedding on such a short…
Kelly and Chris’s Camp Hale wedding wasn’t just unplugged, it was off the grid. Without the distraction of seeing who’s posting what on social media, their guests could focus on having a damn good time. Add in some of the most beautiful views and tastiest spirits in Colorado (thanks, 10th Mountain!), and you have the…
Leanne and Devin have a liiiiiittle bit of a competitive streak. The first time I noticed this at their Lodge at Cathedral Pines wedding was during the pre-ceremony preparations. Devin had hooked up the sound system to his smart watch and given the watch to their friend Loren, who was helping them out by wrangling…
Jesse and I sometimes put our couples through a lot of difficult tasks in pursuit of great photos. We’ve had couples do everything from hiking the sand dunes in formal attire to running out in the middle of traffic between green lights. It was no different at Jen and Whitney’s Steamboat Springs wedding. But not…
Who says that a wedding has to take place in the afternoon? Or that you have to have cake? Or that everyone has to sit through a best man or maid of honor toast? No one. that’s who. So if none of those things tickle your fancy, do what Nicole and Dustin did for their…
Exactly 10 years ago today (on June 8th, 2008), I photographed my first wedding. I was 23 years old and working as an intern photojournalist for a newspaper in Jackson, Michigan. So what better time than now to take a look back at our best wedding photos of the decade? Before June of 2008, my…
It’s no secret that weddings have grown a bit uncontrollable. When talking to couples, one of the complaints I hear most often is how overwhelming planning a wedding can be. But the secret that the wedding industry wants to keep from you is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Take Natasha and Doug’s…
If there’s such a thing as having too much fun, Cat and Bryant flirt heavily with that line. It was evident when Jesse and I first met with them for their Woodward Copper aerial Alt Session. And it was all the more obvious at their Wedgewood Boulder Creek wedding. At one point during the portraits,…
One of the things that can make or break a photo shoot is the level of trust a couple has in us. The more a couple trusts our (sometimes bizarre) requests, the better the photos turn out because they’re able to relax and rest easy, knowing that we’re going to take them on a super…
Oh, the difference 4,000 feet makes! While we enjoyed 70-degree weather in the foothills, Kristin and Greg’s Rocky Mountain National Park engagement session still had plenty of snow. That’s one of the (many) things we love about Colorado. If you’re getting sick of the weather, there’s no need to travel to a different latitude, you…
Catherine and Kacey are two of the most intelligent, caring and kind people you’ll ever meet. They laugh easily and often. They’re not scared away by a challenge. And they may have found a solution to the incessant noise of today’s digital world – in the form of their Bay Area tiny house. The idea…
Going to as many weddings as we do, we get to see a lot of really cool ways that couples make their weddings unique. Jenn and Erik’s Evergreen Lake House wedding was no different. In fact, it held a lot of firsts for us. It was the first time we had a bride wear a…
