Ashly & Nick are getting married next year, and I'm honored to be shooting their wedding at the Indiana Memorial Union! We had such a fantastic afternoon shooting their engagement session at Lake Dillon (even though it was a little bit chilly). Can't wait for the wedding!
Ashley & Marc are old friends from college - Ashley & I met singing in an acappella group! Their wedding was on a gorgeous fall day overlooking Lake Dillon in Silverthorne, and I was so, so excited to be there. Not only did I get to watch my beautiful friend walk down the aisle to marry a kind, handsome man, I also got to reconnect with some long-lost college friends :) The weather was perfect, the whole day was so relaxed, and I was thrilled to be a part of it.
Gahh you are so gorgeous!
I LOVE this.
Marc & Ash - love you guys so much! Congratulations and thanks for the amazing day!
Carolyn & Dan forgave me for being super late to their engagement session when I called and explained that I was stuck on the highway behind an accident that involved a semi that had CAUGHT ON FIRE. In hindsight I'm actually kind of glad that it worked out the way it did, because when I finally got to their adorable Aspen home, the light was simply perfect. After our shoot at their home and at Maroon Bells (literally just down the road!) we went out to dinner and ended up having one of the deepest conversations I've ever had with clients about Life, the Universe, and Everything, and I loved every minute.
Dan & Carolyn, you guys are SO WONDERFUL and I can't wait for your Aspen wedding - that meadow is going to be so stunning!
Stacy & Josh had literally * the mellowest * wedding I have ever been a part of. Their destination wedding at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs was lovely, calm, intimate, simple, and wonderful. 30 or so of their closest friends and family made their way to Colorado from Iowa (and beyond) for their ceremony, and I was honored to be a part of such an event. I will remember Stacy, in particular, for being a woman who exuded such a calm, intense beauty on her wedding day, and I LOVED the guys' combo of Sanuks and cargo shorts. Even an ominous thunderstorm in the distance didn't get in our way :) Thank you, thank you for such a refreshing day, and congratulations! You guys are wonderful!
There's something about this image that just draws me in. Stacy, you are GORGEOUS!
Signing the marriage license on the hood of a Jeep... classic Colorado :)
Other than the fact that they're wicked fun, destination weddings are extra special because we get to shoot for a few days! Shelly & Daniel recently got married in Estes Park, and the next day, we headed to Rocky Mountain National Park for a fun day after / trash the dress session. I realized how spoiled I was when we were driving through the park and hit a traffic jam on the narrow, windy mountain road. Huge black thunderclouds threatened in the distance, we hadn't started shooting yet, and I was getting a little frustrated. I knew if we didn't hurry, we were going to get dumped on. So, we're crawling along, we pass some elk on the road, and then traffic sort of let up. It took me a few minutes before I realized that traffic was stopped FOR the elk - everyone was taking pictures out their windows and ooh-ing and aah-ing. Me, I'm just like, "Elk, whatever, let's go." People from all over the world come to Rocky Mountain National Park probably just to see the elk, and I see them so regularly that I don't care unless they're about to hit my car :)We finally found the perfect spot and pulled off the road and started shooting. Within minutes, people were honking and waving and yelling congratulations from their windows. One older German guy was cracking us up, shouting things like, (to Shelly) "You are ze best animal in ze park!" and (to Daniel) "You are ze best hunter I have met!" Which... you know... was a little awkward. But made us laugh. So there's that.
Anyway. Here's to timberline, marshy fields of wildflowers, and knowing what the elk feel like in front of the tourists.
Then it got all dark & stormy & awesome.
