sarah & justin (estes park wedding photographer)

Wow, gosh, I just adore these two so so much.  I can't help it.  First, there was this awesome engagement session... next, their amazing wedding at Casa de Luz near Estes Park!  What a mellow, fun, lovely day.  One of my favorite parts about this job is getting to meet so many amazing people - not just my clients, but their friends and family, too!  And Sarah & Justin have so many stellar people in their lives.  Love this day! 

Aquamarine is also my birthstone, so I happen to be a little partial to Sarah's gorgeous ring :)

This cradle was a gift from Sarah's grandfather:

Crying or seriously cracking up?  You can decide :)

And, this was the moment when one of the little ones grabbed the tablecloth and started pulling... almost dooming the cake.

Haha... oops.

Justin earned awesomeness points by turning and force-feeding wedding cake to his friends:

I. LOVE. THIS.

Oh yeah, did I mention this was the day of the super moon?

Eesh.  What a fantastic day.  Hope you guys are loving Chile!

Laura and I got along immediately  - we had a blast shooting her senior portraits throughout Boulder!  I think she looks just like Ali Larter :)

Laura, my dear - thanks for such a wonderful shoot!

lauren & jake (lied lodge nebraska wedding photographer)

I was so honored to shoot this Nebraska wedding with one of my good friends, and photographer extraordinare, Heather Gray!  We have gotten to travel so much together this year, and I just love it.  This wedding was so lovely and laid-back and mellow, and I loved meeting Lauren and Jake, and all of their sweet friends and family.  Congrats you guys!

 

Lauren, you are stunning!

The Lied Lodge is such an amazing venue!

zak & melissa (buena vista wedding photographer)

Zak & Melissa are such fun, easygoing, joyful people.  This day at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs was so mellow, and I love mellow weddings!  You might remember them from their nerdy engagement session last year - they met in the engineering department of the School of Mines.  So, fittingly, they got married at 3:14 pm - or, as I called it, pi o'clock.  Melissa wore her grandmother's veil, which just made her look like a Renaissance painting all day.  I couldn't stop shooting - there was too much gorgeousness.  Congratulations to you both, and thanks for including me in your amazing, amazing day!

I LOVE it when couples decide to do a First Look!  This moment was so special.  Plus, we got plenty of extra time for pictures!

We took the wedding party up to the historic ghost town of St. Elmo for some fun shots:

Absolute beauty!!

Who else is cool enough to launch the bouquet and garter off of a homemade catapult??!!

Zak & Lis - I just adore you guys.  I can't thank you enough for the privilege of being your photographer.  Best wishes to you both!

stacy & grady (albuquerque engagement photographer)

I grew up in Santa Fe, and I miss the desert like crazy!  I always jump at the chance to be able to head back to New Mexico, so when Stacy & Grady contacted me about shooting their engagement session in Albuquerque, I was thrilled!  These two are wonderful people, so fun to be around, and I'm so excited for their wedding in Estes Park next summer.  Gotta love all of this gorgeous, golden, desert sunrise light :)

Then we headed to Old Town Albuquerque for some fun shots.  I love all the history of the Southwest!

Congratulations, you two!
