I just straight up, quite simply, love these two. Meredith and Matt are two of the kindest, coolest, most fun souls I've had the pleasure of meeting. Their wedding took place on a HOT HOT HOT day at the lovely Emerson Mansion in Denver, and everything was absolutely perfect.
One of my favorite shots of the day:
M&M - so much love to you guys. Congratulations!
Can I just say, I LOVE style shoots?! They're so relaxed, there's nowhere to be, nobody waiting for you, you get to work with wedding friends, and of course, everything looks amazing...I love them! I am so incredibly lucky to work with wonderful partners in the industry, including one of my very own former brides, who does the loveliest print design and is getting into event design as well. I fell in love with Paige of Peekay Soirees when I worked with her at Casidy's wedding, and how fun is it that I get to work with both of them, AND Casidy's great stylist extraordinaire, all in one shoot!The Kentucky Derby was a perfect springtime theme (great idea Casidy!) Thanks to so many wonderful vendors, and of course our lovely models, we pulled off this shoot without a hitch. And then got to play with some horses and drink mint juleps, even.
Super duper thanks to everyone involved!

A huge thank-you to everyone involved!
Tres & Emily are pretty much the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They, and anyone who I spoke to, from the bridal party to their families, was kind, relaxed, and eager to help each other - almost fighting over helping each other! I loved it. "Can I get you a glass of water?" "No, but can I get YOU a glass of water?"
I LOVED this wedding. The whole day was just lovely. Emily has the grace and beauty of an old school movie star, and Tres is so warm and friendly, and I instantly was treated like one of the family. What a wonderful day!
One of the readings during the ceremony was from Emily's grandmother's copy of The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran (one of my favorite texts, BTW) - with her grandmother's old, old pressed flowers still inside! If you aren't familiar with Gibran's work, please, please check it out. It's lovely:
"You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."
Em - your beauty is overwhelming. Seriously.
Love this handmade arch!
Em & Tres - you guys are amazing! Hope to hang out soon :)
Okay, here comes part three of Chandra & Jeff's epic wedding week - their fabulous reception at the Skyline Ballroom at the Courtyard Mariott in Denver!
I love it when couples hire a photo booth - it means tons of great funky props gradually make their way on to the dance floor :)
This is why I love Chandra.
Thanks again for everything, guys! It's been so wonderful getting to know you :)
Part two of Matt & Sara's excellent wedding on a beautiful, snowy day at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs! I loved the cap guns as they were pronounced husband & wife (they also made for a very interesting reception :)
You know me - the guns were my favorite part!
I love how crazy fun it got on the dance floor...
This is what it looks like when your wedding guests dance to Tupac:

Sara & Matt had a projector set up to play snowboarding videos during the reception - great idea!
Thanks so much, you guys! What a fun, beautiful day. You're wonderful and I completely enjoyed shooting your wedding :)
