Wedding DJ or Wedding Band?

|
Who doesn’t like a kick-ass dance party that lasts until the wee hours of the morning? I know I do, both as a wedding guest and as a photographer. But there’s a decision you need to make when planning your wedding and deciding what type of dance party you’d like to have: should we hire…

Brown Palace Wedding

|
In the midst of a small lull in weddings, we are so excited to look back at Emily and Tyler’s Brown Palace wedding from last fall! This was our first time photographing in this illustrious building, but we hope it’s far from the last. We knew we liked Emily and Tyler from the moment we…

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve posted our favorite wedding photography behind the scenes photos of us working. So, we thought it’s about time to do just that! This post encompasses most, but not all, of our shoots from the fall of 2019 right up to present day (the winter of 2022.) This,…

New Year’s Eve Wedding

|

Dream Lake Engagement

|
I’m not sure if Kenzie and Bo’s Dream Lake engagement session could have been any more authentically Colorado, swinging wildly between seasons like it wasn’t quite sure which month we were in. The adventure had the perfect mix of Type I and Type II fun that results in both an amazing experience and epic photos….

Garden of the Gods Wedding

|
Anya and Ben’s Garden of the Gods wedding was so epic, it couldn’t be contained to a single day or location. Instead, we joined the couple and their guests for three days of partying at the Garden of the Gods Resort and the Pinery, both with equally beautiful – but vastly different – views of Colorado Springs.
