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,…
When we first moved to Boulder and started our wedding photography business in 2008, the Greenbriar Inn was one of the very first venues we photographed. In the 16 years since, we’ve had the pleasure of working many more weddings there, but Sydney and Jacob’s fall wedding at Greenbriar Inn marked the first time we…
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…
We started out this year’s Pride Month with Leigh and Sam’s gorgeous spring wedding at the Greenbriar Inn, and it couldn’t have been a more beautiful celebration. There’s no way for me to encapsulate this couple’s amazingness better than one of their attendants did during his toast. Matthew grew up in a place that wasn’t…
At most of our weddings, we leave feeling like we made a handful of new friends. At Lizzie and Dylan’s Greenbriar Inn microwedding, we left feeling more like we had reconnected with several long lost friends.
One of my favorite things about being with couples on their wedding day is witnessing the community they’ve built around themselves.. The best communities don’t have to be big. They often aren’t showy or boisterous. They’re your ride-or-die people. Your emergency contacts. The people who would back you in a fistfight. They’re the people Katie and Paul had next to them at their Boulder microwedding.
When I say “backyard wedding,” what pops into your mind? Picnic tables, maybe a small tent? Erin and Kevin’s definitely had that. How about “backyard wedding in Boulder”? Mountain views in the background? A dog exploring to its heart’s content? Erin and Kevin’s wedding also had that, times four.
Wedding season rolled on as we had the pleasure of photographing Kara and Todd’s summer wedding at Shupe Homestead last week. We started the day documenting the newlyweds-t0-be getting ready at their respective houses in Boulder before heading over to Heil Valley Ranch just north of town for a first look and couple’s portraits of…
We had the most epic Alt Session planned for Emily and Jake. I was in the midst of arranging locations and timing right around mid-March. So, yeah. That didn’t happen. But I feel like we ended up with the brightest cloud lining; instead, we got to join Emily and Jake and their families for a backyard…
Amanda and Brian’s Chautauqua Park wedding was the conclusion of a seemingly insurmountable task: plan a wedding in two months. (I know, I know….unthinkable in today’s wedding climate!) But not only did they make it to the finish line, they did it with style. So how does one plan a wedding on such a short…
If there’s such a thing as having too much fun, Cat and Bryant flirt heavily with that line. It was evident when Jesse and I first met with them for their Woodward Copper aerial Alt Session. And it was all the more obvious at their Wedgewood Boulder Creek wedding. At one point during the portraits,…
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…
