After nearly 18 years of photographing weddings in Colorado, it’s rare that we experience a first on a wedding day. But Jenna and Cody’s wintery Sapphire Point wedding in Breckenridge was absolutely chock-full of firsts. For starters, both Moira and I got to photograph the bride getting ready. I’m usually off somewhere else with the…
Last week, we wrote about where to propose in Colorado, so we thought it fitting to follow up with a post on where to take engagement photos in Colorado. Now, keep in mind that there are approximately 5,000 great places to take engagement photos in Colorado, but these 10 are a good place to start….
Colorado is an incredibly popular destination not only for weddings, but for proposals as well. If you’re planning on proposing to your significant other in Colorado, you’re probably trying to narrow down locations. Truthfully, you could pull over anywhere on the side of the highway and have an equally beautiful view in this state. But…
It’s that time of year once again! Now that Christmas has passed, we have taken the time to sit down and go back through our past 12 months of weddings and engagement sessions to pick out our best wedding photos of 2024. It’s hard to believe, but this year marked our 17th year as full-time…
We tried something new this year. When we looked at our calendar last winter, we decided to completely block off the months of November and December, so that we could take some time to breathe and recharge before conference season kicks into full gear in January. This meant that Dani and Dean’s Cheesman Park engagement…
To cap off our 2024 wedding season, we ventured out on a long road trip across five states for Hillary and Todd’s super fun Bend, Oregon wedding at Lake Creek Lodge. Since hitting my goal of visiting each of the 50 states back in 2016, I have since set another (loose) goal of photographing a…
If I had to pick three words to sum up Betsy and Scot’s Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms wedding, it would be “family” and “found family.” Come to think of it, that’s really only two words. But I digress. Both sets of parents were in attendance and Betsy’s siblings stood in as her bridespeople. Scot…
When we first moved to Boulder and started our wedding photography business in 2008, the Greenbriar Inn was one of the very first venues we photographed. In the 16 years since, we’ve had the pleasure of working many more weddings there, but Sydney and Jacob’s fall wedding at Greenbriar Inn marked the first time we…
At the beginning of Laura and Austin’s Evergreen, Colorado wedding day, Austin turned to me and asked “Want a beer?” I said something like “maybe later” and he came back with “If you can’t do your job after two beers, you’re probably in the wrong line of work.” I thought to myself, “Well, that’s a…
There was no rest for the weary after Elizabeth and John’s Denver Botanic Gardens wedding. The very next day, we made our way to LoDo for Zoe and and Charlie’s engagement session in downtown Denver. We started at one of our all-time favorite bars, Seven Grand Denver. Since Zoe and Charlie are getting married next…
We’ve been working at the Denver Botanic Gardens for the past 15 years. It’s one of our favorite places to shoot weddings and to hang out, just for fun, taking in the plethora of flora throughout the grounds. Elizabeth and John’s summer wedding at Denver Botanic Gardens marked the first time we have photographed both…
After Rayleen and Bryan’s Zapata Falls engagement near the Great Sand Dunes, we continued west to the far southwestern corner of the state for Julie and Ryan’s Cortez, Colorado elopement. One of our favorite things about Colorado is its topographical diversity. Never have we seen this on display during one shoot quite the way that…
