  • Summer Wedding at Black Mountain Lodge

    Karlee and Andrew’s wedding day was such a joy to capture. From the moment I met them last year I knew they were going to have fun on their wedding day. The people, and their dogs Minnie and Copper, meant so much to them and that was evident throughout their wedding at Arapahoe Basin. The constant laughter, smiles, hugs and the occasional happy tears provided the emotional seasoning to a gorgeous bluebird Colorado mountain day. This was a real wedding in every sense of the word. I always say that when the couple and their guests have a great day, the pictures take care of themselves and that’s exactly what happened. From the first look with their dogs to Millennial Romance Band bringing the energy…

  • Walker Homestead Wedding | Meaghan & Zach

    One of the best feelings is when a family asks you to return for another monumental celebration. That’s exactly what happened when Meaghan and Zach asked me to come to Iowa City and document their wedding at Walker Homestead this spring. I met Meaghan at her sister Katie and Joel’s wedding back in 2018 near Chicago. Their family was such a joy to be around and we all hit it off so I was honored that Meaghan reached out to me soon after Zach proposed. Everything felt so easy as I worked with them during their planning and especially on the wedding day. Some of that was definitely from the fact that I had worked with Meaghan’s family before but Zach was also calm and…

  • Fall Mountain Lake Wedding | Karen & Ryan

    This one was special. Karen and Ryan’s fall mountain lake wedding at Piney River Ranch was as true, honest and real as it gets. They had their closest family and friends all there to witness a day that they’ll truly never forget. Karen and Ryan live every day to the fullest and their day represented that. They were both nervous and excited in the best possible way. While I was with Karen at the hotel in the morning, Matt headed to their rental house to spend some time with Ryan as he got ready. From the jump, the laughter and tears filled the day. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. Piney in the fall is special and I know it wowed all their guests….

  • Winter Mountaintop Engagement | Amanda & Weston

    Things typically slow down this time of the year so it was a nice change of pace to meet up with Amanda and Weston for their winter mountaintop engagement on Loveland Pass. It was a quintessential bluebird day with gorgeous light so we couldn’t have asked for much more. We explored the west side of the pass for a bit and did our best not to get stuck in any of the snow drifts. Once the light started to fall behind the ridge we moved over to the east side. They were so easy going that it made my job easy. I kept chasing different pockets of light and they’re no stranger to the mountains and altitude so we were able to capture a variety…

  • Luxury Wedding in Idaho Springs | Jordana & David

    Jordana and David hosted a fantastic weekend of events for their luxury wedding in Idaho Springs. They welcomed everyone into town at Denver’s Union Station on Friday night. There they were treated to some hilarious and heartfelt toasts by some of their closest friends. It was great to meet their family and connect with everyone before the wedding day. Saturday they headed west to Blackstone Rivers Ranch for their gorgeous wedding. We were able to head up the mountain for first look and a few portraits with perfect weather. Their ceremony was so sweet and their vows I’ll remember for quite some time. Everyone was dressed to the nines and had a blast on the dance floor to cap off a perfect day. Special thanks…

  • Fall Idaho Springs Wedding | Makenzie & Jared

    Makenzie and Jared are an absolute blast to be around so it wasn’t a surprise that their wedding day lived up to the hype. The energy was infectious. Everyone was either smiling or laughing the entire day. It’s safe to say that their fall Idaho Springs wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch was one of my favorites from the year. They got ready in Golden so Travis and I started with them there. After a quick first look near the creek we drove up Squaw Pass for some fall colors and epic mountain views. Jared changed before the ceremony into his Navy dress white officer uniform and looked great. It was a pleasure to have several of his fellow officers join him at the ceremony. They…

  • Mountain Resort Fall Engagement | Derek & Jen

    Derek and Jen travelled all the way out from their home in Illinois to Colorado so I could capture their mountain resort fall engagement session in Crested Butte. Derek is a photographer as well so he knew they wanted something different for their session than their home state could offer. Crested Butte in the fall is one of my favorite places in the entire country and thankfully we were in town during peak color this year. We started their session in Washington Gulch and got to visit Gothic Mountain that was covered in vibrant aspen tree hues. Then we headed up to Ten Peaks on Crested Butte Mountain Resort for a picturesque view of the surrounding area. We had the place to ourselves and I…

  • Folsom Field Proposal | Hayley & Joe

    Joe contacted me a month ago to share his proposal plans and after having a drink with him and hearing more about their story, I knew this would be a memorable one to capture. Hayley’s family are CU Boulder alumni and have had a suite at the stadium since she was a kid. It’s a place with so many memories for their family so it was the perfect place to propose. Much like myself, Joe is a visual person (and incredible videographer) with a keen eye for the moment. We have, somewhat unknowingly, worked alongside each other at Denver Broncos football games for years. His attention to detail for this proposal was second to none which excited me the more I heard about it. I…

  • Spring Gardens Engagement | Erika & Wafik

    Erika and Wafik recently travelled back home to Colorado to do some wedding planning and while they were in town we were able to sneak in their spring gardens engagement session. Amy and I are actually members of the Denver Botanic Gardens so it was fun to see it in a different way. We explored all over and were treated to some lovely light that evening. The serene space fit their personalities really well and offered a completely different look to the winter wedding they’re planning for next year.

  • Spring engagement in Colorado Springs | Shaina & Carter

    I always enjoy when couples choose locations that are meaningful to them. The Broadmoor was the perfect location for Shaina and Carter’s Spring engagement in Colorado Springs because it’s where Carter proposed. The iconic grounds of the 5-star resort served as a gorgeous backdrop for the elegant attire that they chose for the first part of the session. Later we headed over to Garden of the Gods for both a change of outfits and scenery. The drizzly rain added some great texture to the soft light that we had that evening. I’m looking forward to their wedding in Denver later this summer.
