I was hanging out near the Mandap before Anika and Mihir’s Lake Tahoe Indian wedding when the officiant came over and struck up a conversation. “Where are you from?” he asked. “Colorado,” I said. He took a beat and said, “There are a million photographers here. Why did they hire you?” I thought about it…
As anyone from Colorado can tell you, certain parts of the Rocky Mountains turn a vibrant yellow color in the fall as the aspen leaves begin to change. This is the most popular time of year for family photos and one of the most popular times for weddings as well. But never have we seen…
One of our favorite parts of photographing weddings in Colorado is the outdoor ceremonies. The state has so many beautiful vistas, nobody wants to be cooped up indoors. The only potential downside is the possibility of inclement weather. But while it did, in fact, pour rain for a good portion of Sarah and Joe’s fall…
We’ve photographed a lot of weddings at The Boulders at Black Canyon Inn. I mean, a lot. But the venue is so cool, we always find something new to photograph. We could probably do a hundred more weddings at The Boulders and not repeat the same photo. But sometimes, instead of doing all of the…
Moira and I always talk about how the single best thing you can do on your wedding day is relinquish control. Go with the flow. Roll with the punches. Never has this idea come to fruition more so than it did at Thy and Cristian’s Breckenridge elopement. Things are inevitably going to go “wrong” on…
A little over 10 years ago, we had the pleasure of photographing a wedding in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The bride was a friend of mine from high school and the three days we spent with her and her husband (and their families) were an absolute blast. Fast forward to August of this year, I…
We’re back after a three-month break from blogging while we made our way through the busiest part of our 2025 wedding season. Now it’s time to see what we’ve been up to since August. First up: Madi and Drew’s super fun Estes Park wedding at The Boulders! As those who have been following us already…
Jesse and I first learned of Steel Horse weddings when we left the buzz of city life for the raven calls of rural living. One of the side effects we were hoping to experience was a bit more disconnection from the digital world so many of us get sucked into these days. However, we have…
Amber and Jay are no strangers to having teammates. Both played sports at the college level – soccer and football, respectively. Then Amber went on to play soccer professionally while Jay shifted into coaching. And yet it was obvious to anyone who attended their Big Sky wedding that the best team they’ve ever been on…
Now that Jesse and I have some time in the office and a couple weeks off from wedding travel, we get to catch up on sneak peeks and blog posts, including Heather & Eric’s Edgewood Inn wedding! When Heather and Eric first reached out, they explained that this would be a second marriage for both…
Dani and Dean’s summer wedding at The Boulders had some reception entertainment we’d never seen before: an aura camera. Dani works for a company that offers aura photography and readings for events, so naturally, she had to include it for her own wedding. If you’ve never had your aura photographed, I highly recommend it! The…
When Taryn and Tim started planning their Acreage wedding, Taryn asked me a question that I love to get asked by couples: What can we do to make your job easier? My answer is always the same. Be as type-A and detail-oriented as your heart desires during the planning. But on the actual wedding day,…
