We wrapped up our 2023 wedding season “early” for us with a mid-December winter wedding at the Boulders, one of our favorite venues in all of Colorado. From the very first meeting I had with Meredythe and Robert, two things were clear: They work hard and they play hard. The working hard part was more…
Erica and Anthony tried really, really hard to get married in Colorado. But COVID had other plans for them. Then we tried again to do a one-year anniversary session. But Hurricane Ian had different plans for them this time around. So we hoped that the third time would be a charm and scheduled a Pueblo…

Well, we had a bit of a busy fall and winter with weddings, teaching and travel, so get ready for a fall and winter wedding blog tsunami! Starting with Sarah and Joe’s “alt gothic” Villa Parker wedding. Sarah and Joe’s first look is probably in my top ten list of Best First Looks of All…
Sometimes we have couples who come to us for an Alt Session because they have a very specific idea of what they want to do and they haven’t found anyone else who could bring their idea to life. This was the case with Jenn and Phil’s astrophotography engagement session. And it might be one of…
In October of 2022, Jesse and I were at home with a rare weekend off from weddings in what’s typically our busiest month of the season. I was doing what I’m currently doing now and catching up on writing blog posts. Jesse was sequestered in his editing cave. And we both got a notification on…
After Tyler & Landon’s huge blowout celebration at the end of September, we switched gears for October, starting with Jovanka & Alex’s intimate Sunrise Amphitheater wedding in Boulder. Jovanka is a bride after my own heart, starting wedding planning two years in advance. When she first reached out, the wedding she and Alex were thinking…
It’s been a while since we’ve had a Mile High Station wedding, A lot has changed in the world since our last time there. Gay marriage was legalized in the US, we lived through a pandemic that drastically cut wedding lists, and we’ve since captured another 150 weddings. The world looks different and weddings look…
As anyone who lives in a travel destination knows, there’s the version of your town that the tourists see. And then there’s the real version that only the locals and a select few of their favorite people get to experience. Carrie and Conrad’s Crested Butte wedding weekend was the latter. We started our local’s tour…
We don’t walk into every wedding and immediately feel like we’re hanging out with friends. But at Heather and Chris’s Boulders wedding, we did!
