Colorado Mountain Engagement
Everyone has a favorite spot, a place that holds a plethora of happy memories. But few of us are fortunate enough for that place to literally be on a mountain peak. Anna and Berry are part of that lucky group, so Jesse and I hopped in the car and made a lovely Saturday drive to…
Red Rocks Engagement
Nicole and Dustin’s Red Rocks engagement session kicked off a week of several photo shoots for us. But what better way to start your week than spending time with a dog, talking about books, going to Red Rocks, and drinking some tasty homebrew? No complaints here! We started the afternoon at a park near their house,…
Willow Ridge Manor Wedding
It’s fairly common for Jesse and I to scout a wedding venue and find entirely too many locations for photos. It’s far less common to find couples who are just as excited as we are to take a ton of photos in these cool locations. Luckily, those couples tend to find their way to us,…
Fall Wedding at Crooked Willow Farms
With the unpredictable fall weather settling in and snow the day before, we weren’t sure what to expect at Alyssa and Kevin’s fall wedding at Crooked Willow Farms. When we arrived, it looked like some blue sky was trying to peek out, but by the time all the activities started, we were encased in a…
Copper Mountain Wedding
I can’t help it. I obsessively check the weather before a wedding. Probably more than the couple does. Sometimes, it’s because I’m hoping for a few degrees of relief (I’m lookin’ at you, Denver in July). Sometimes, like for Melisa and Sam’s Copper Mountain wedding, it’s just to see if it’s going to rain, snow,…
Rocky Mountain National Park Elopement
Jesse and I met Andrea and Chad in-person for the first time on the day of their wedding. They had traveled from Bellingham, Washington, to our equally beautiful state of Colorado for their Rocky Mountain National Park elopement. When we first spoke with them on the phone, I knew we were kindred spirits when I…
Fall Wedding in Vail
Last weekend, rains swept through the mountains, clearing out the smoke from the many forest fires burning in the West. Luckily, that didn’t matter for Genevieve and Jon’s fall wedding in Vail. The Sonnenalp simply closed Ludwig’s glass roof and the ceremony continued on, sheltered from the rain but maintaining the beautiful forest-like atmosphere. Genevieve…
Cherry Creek Wedding
After spending much of the previous week in the mountains, we were looking forward to mixing it up a bit with Patricia and Kevin’s Cherry Creek wedding at the JW Marriott. Don’t get me wrong, I love the mountains. But Denver is a city with unending nooks and crannies perfect for wedding photography and we…
Solar Eclipse Engagement
The very first time I spoke with JaimeJo on the phone, before she and Nick had even booked us, her first question was, “What are you doing on August 21st?” She explained that she really wanted a solar eclipse engagement session, and that was the date of what’s come to be known as the Great…
Purgatory Resort Wedding
When we got Jamie and Eric’s Purgatory Resort wedding invitation in the mail, it had the Milky Way as the background and promised “Dinner, Dancing, and Meteor Shower to Follow” the ceremony. They couldn’t have picked a better spot (Dante’s Peak) or day (one of the peak nights of the Perseid meteor shower) to make…
Greenbriar Inn Wedding
Jesse and I returned to our old stomping grounds last weekend for Sarah and Patrick’s Greenbriar Inn wedding. And while it’s been some time since we’ve been to Boulder for a wedding, we put together a greatest hits tour for their portraits. We met at the historic Hotel Boulderado for their first look. Patrick and…
Holi Powder Engagement
A few weeks ago, a large, heavy box arrived at our doorstep from Amazon. Since we were in the midst of weddings and wedding preparations, the box sat unopened in the closet. Until last Thursday, when we finally broke into it for Courtney and Derek’s Holi powder engagement shoot! Courtney and Derek are planning their…
