In October, we took a long road trip from the Colorado Rockies to the California Sierras for Anika and Mihir’s Lake Tahoe engagement. We were also in town to photograph the couple’s wedding just two days later, but since we live three states apart, we decided to do the engagement session and wedding in one…
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…
One of the main reasons we decided to move to Colorado 16 years ago was the state’s natural beauty. We’re also huge fans of national parks and Colorado is home to four of the coolest national parks in the U.S. While we have been fortunate to spend time in all four of them, Amelia and…
Erica and Anthony tried really, really hard to get married in Colorado. But COVID had other plans for them. Then we tried again to do a one-year anniversary session. But Hurricane Ian had different plans for them this time around. So we hoped that the third time would be a charm and scheduled a Pueblo…
Sometimes we have couples who come to us for an Alt Session because they have a very specific idea of what they want to do and they haven’t found anyone else who could bring their idea to life. This was the case with Jenn and Phil’s astrophotography engagement session. And it might be one of…
It’s a bit of a lie to say that these photos are from Jaclyn and Matt’s Zion engagement session. But let’s be real: we gotta get that sweet, sweet SEO juice. The reason it wasn’t an actual Zion engagement session is because life happened. Just as we were getting ready to plan Jaclyn and Matt’s…
When I first talked to Michelle and Jamie on the phone, it was an instant connection. Not just because they’ve been texting me photos of their adorable Aussie ever since (although that doesn’t hurt). Instead, it was because their passion for adventure was matched only by their passion for each other. Their choice for an…
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….
For never having been to Gross Reservoir before this year, Jesse and I sure ended up spending a lot of time there! In fact, after Amy and Ian’s canoeing engagement session, I’m pretty confident there isn’t a spot we haven’t seen. I’m also pretty confident that it’s one of the best hidden gems in Colorado.
Emily and Luther moved to Colorado for the hiking. On my very first phone call with them, I think we spent more time talking about our favorite (or top five, because it’s hard to pick just one) hiking spots than talking about their wedding. Naturally, when it came time to plan their Alt Session, an…
Five days after we made it home from our New Year’s Day wedding in Houston, we were back on the road once again. This time, our destination was southern Colorado for Emily and Tyler’s super fun (and super cold) Bishop Castle engagement. Billed as the world’s “largest one-man project,” the castle sits on two and…
Michelle and Dan’s Loveland Pass engagement session came as a surprise to Michelle. Granted, she thought that she’d be taking photos that day and in that location. But she also thought that it would be Dan setting up a camera to capture some images of their family vacation to the Rocky Mountains. Dan is no stranger to photography, so this had become an expected part of any of their adventures together. Little did she know, she’d be heading back to Delaware with a gorgeous rock of her own.
