Cortez, Colorado Elopement
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…
Zapata Falls Engagement
We’re back! After a two-month hiatus, we have officially wrapped up editing for all of our 2024 weddings, so it’s time to get caught up on blog posts. First up: Rayleen and Bryan’s Zapata Falls engagement! Full disclosure, this wasn’t actually an engagement session, but a couple’s portrait session. That said, we’re calling it an…
Summer Wedding at Black Canyon Inn
During the pre-ceremony portrait session at Jenny and Dustin’s summer wedding at Black Canyon Inn, Jenny turned to me and said, “I can’t wait for the dance party.” Approximately six hours later, I found out why. Sometimes, photographing a dance party at a wedding for three straight hours can feel a bit monotonous. There are…
EDM Engagement Session
Alright, technically this was Kass and Zack’s post-wedding session, but as an offering to the SEO gods, we’re calling it their EDM engagement session. For their wedding in February, Kass and Zack had a whole bunch of cool light-up stuff, like string lights, glow sticks, marquee letters and, our personal favorite, matching LED jackets. The…
Blackstone Rivers Ranch Wedding
Most traditional wedding timelines are tight. This happens, then that happens, then the other thing happens and there’s very little time in between all of these things to take a breath. I’m happy to report that this was not at all the case with Claire and Ben’s Blackstone Rivers Ranch wedding. The bride and groom-to-be…
Summer Wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch
For Moira’s brother’s wedding a few years ago, my now brother and sister in-law decided not to have a cake. Instead, they had pie. This was a big point of contention in the family at the time. One family member proclaimed “You can’t have a wedding without cake!” Well, I’m here to tell you that…
Echo Mountain Wedding
Mia and Scott never thought they would get married. And once they decided to get married, they never thought they would have a wedding. Instead, like many couples these days, they were leaning toward an elopement. Then, after giving it some thought, they realized that they really wanted to share a celebration with their closest…
Pinecrest Wedding
After 17 years of photographing weddings, it’s rare that we experience a “first” on a wedding day. But during Nassia and Jeff’s Pinecrest wedding reception in Colorado Springs, we experienced a very cool first. But let’s back up a moment. When Nassia and Jeff first reached out to us in November of last year, Jeff…
Estes Park Wedding at Della Terra
One of our favorite things about Colorado weddings is hiking to remote places in the mountains to take photos with the newlyweds. Sometimes, we do this for the engagement session. Sometimes, we do this for the day-after session. And sometimes, we manage to do this on the actual day of the wedding. Such was the…
Estes Park Wedding at Black Canyon Inn
Midway through the reception at Sarah and Austin’s Estes Park wedding at Black Canyon Inn, I was standing at the venue’s large plate glass windows overlooking the Rocky Mountains trying to determine if the sunset would be interested enough to take the bride and groom outside for sunset photos. I was slightly bummed out because…
Three Peaks Ranch Wedding
We have been photographing weddings in Colorado since 2008 and we have mainly worked in the state’s more well-known destinations like Vail, Aspen, Breckenridge, Estes Park, and so forth. But this past wedding season, we took a few days to explore some of Colorado’s hidden gem venues. During this process, we had the pleasure of…
SkyView Wedding at Fall River Village
Amelia and Jeff’s SkyView wedding at Fall River Village was quite possibly the windiest wedding we’ve ever photographed. Which is saying a lot because we’ve been doing this for 17 years. And most of our weddings are in the Rocky Mountains. It was one of those days where you couldn’t hear yourself think. One of…
