Allie and Connor’s beautiful summer wedding in the Denver Botanic Gardens was a celebration to remember. Complete with Irish dancing, delicious Guinness sliders, and beautiful gardens, this Denver Botanic Garden wedding in Colorado was unlike any other. And I’m thrilled I was able to document every moment!
Read MoreI’m so excited that these two were featured on Smashing The Glass! Go check out their featured post!
It’s not every day that a groom says, “will you marry me?” and “I do” in the exact same spot. But when Eran asked Carrie to marry him at the beautiful Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort, he suspected they’d be back for a Mount Princeton wedding celebration! I loved photographing Carrie and Eran’s beautiful wedding at Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort. They chose all-day coverage, so I was able to stay until the very end of the night, capturing every unforgettable moment.
Read MoreAlex and Wyatt’s beautifully snowy wedding at The Manor House in Littleton, CO, was the perfect mix of class and Colorado mountains! It was late May, the perfect time for a beautiful spring wedding. Only, Mother Nature had other plans—she wanted to wear white for Alex’s big day, too. That’s right. It snowed! What a typical Colorado thing to happen!
Read MoreThere is absolutely no better way to spend an engagement session at Guanella Pass then by bringing your dog and a picnic blanket- and of course going in the fall. Maggie and Jon knew they wanted those magic fall colors for our meetup, so we watched the weather and we were rewarded immensely by the verdant yellow colors. With Bear in tow, we were stoked to go on a short little journey and be able to not only see the trees this area is so famous for, but immerse ourselves in them!
Read MoreAfter going over their favorite places in the city for their engagement session, Charlotte and Stephen decided on the Lincoln Park Nature Boardwalk (as it just so happened to be across the street from their house), and the lakeside North Avenue Beach. Funny enough, two nights prior I had a similar itinerary when hanging out with Maria and Matt! What I absolutely love about photographing in the city of Chicago, is just how different every location can look depending on not only the season you go there, but also the day.
Read MoreDid an engagement session with a paddle board legend really happen if you didn’t go paddle boarding? I think not. I met up with Elise and Eric for their stand up paddle boarding (SUP ) engagement session at Chatfield State Park in Littleton, Colorado. This beautiful park centers on the expansive reservoir fed by the South Platte river and boasts views of rolling hills and abundant wildlife. While all that would normally be my focus when out at such a place, my task today was to capture Elise and Eric in their true element for their engagement session!
Read MoreI have always wanted to photograph an engagement session at Loveland Pass in Colorado, and Isabel and Danny were up for the drive. Loveland Pass is a high mountain pass boasting an incredible elevation of 11,990 feet above sea level, and there is even a sign you can take pictures with to prove it! After pulling up to this stunning location, we were greeted with a bit of rain. Luckily for us, it stopped almost instantly!
Read More2020 was a monster of a year, but it did give me a chance to get to know Carrie and Eran just a bit better before their Mount Princeton Hot Springs wedding in Colorado! With a portion of Eran’s family traveling from overseas, they had to postpone till the next year while waiting for international travel restrictions to lift- which I totally get. These two have a whole weekend of wedding events planned, and having the whole family together for them will make for an unforgettable experience.
Read MoreAmanda and Brian’s love story began in high school, and with Brian’s teddy-bear heart and Amanda’s genuine and warm soul, it didn’t take them long to realize they were a perfect match! From the moment I met them, I was drawn to the way they wear their hearts on their sleeves, openly sharing their sincere emotions with each other and with me! I had a feeling right away that their Bridgeport Art Center wedding day was going to be filled with moments I’d never forget!
Read MoreI was so excited to hang out with Stephanie and Nick again for their Chicago engagement session. After meeting up once to discuss their wedding day, it was a treat to get to take some fun pictures together at the incredible backdrop of Milton Lee Olive Park! This is definitely one of my favorite places to go for engagement sessions, or even wedding photos, as the skyline of Chicago is just absolutely stunning, even on a cloudy day.
Read MoreAt this summery Michigan bash, “flower men” replaced “flower girls,” handing out McDonald’s cheeseburgers rather than tossing flowers. It was definitely not your average wedding day! But after tons of Covid-required reschedules, who has time to waste being average!? Karen and Kyle infused their personalities into every aspect of their Tabor Hill Winery wedding in Buchannan, MI. And I can’t wait to give you a peek inside!
Read MoreThey say that when you know, you know. That’s how Jordyn and Matt felt when they met on a night out dancing at Moonshine Beach. To honor their love for dancing, the couple filled their May 2021 wedding at Coto Valley Country Club with dancing of all kinds, from intimate choreographed dances to full group hurrahs to the tune of “We Are Family.” Basically, it was the most fun celebration ever!
Read MoreEmma and Aaron are exactly the kind of adventurous but laid-back couple I can’t get enough of. These two spent the first year of their relationship traveling together to decide if they were “the one” (they were, of course!). Even though they’ve traveled all over, they chose to have their October 2020 wedding back home in Denver. But due to COVID restrictions, they had to adjust their original plan and postponed their bigger bash to September 2021. They didn’t want to cancel altogether, however, so, like many couples in the last two years, they opted for two weddings! And lucky me—I was invited to document both!
Read MoreWhen Kori and Connor reached out about their wedding, I was more stoked than normal. Not only because I love all of my couples and the incredible humans I get to work with, but because these two gems were getting married in Nebraska! While I’ve lived out here for a couple of years; I’ve continued to advertise out of state and it’s rare that I get to cross paths with fellow Nebraskans.
Read MoreWhen Joey moved to Colorado, the first brewery he walked into was WeldWerks Brewing Company in Greeley, Colorado. It was only fitting to go back to this magical place with both Julia and Joey for their engagement photos. These two are king and queen of a cute meet story, starting their dating adventure at Joe's Pizza and Joe Coffee in New York City.
Read MoreWhen videography team Alyssa May and Michael of LaBanca Productions reached out about needing some new headshots, I was absolutely honored. I had the chance to first work with these two back for Becca and Mike’s gorgeous fall wedding, and was blown away by their communal and caring nature. Over the years we’ve gotten to be fast friends, and I was over the moon when we had a chance to team back up for Amanda and Brian in downtown Chicago last year.
Read MoreIt’s not every day that I get to photograph not only a brunch wedding in the middle of fall at the incredible picturesque Boulder Creek by Wedgewood Weddings in Boulder, Co; but also a wedding for two dear friends. Shannon and Robert aimed for something low key and inviting, thus the bacon filled brunch, but far enough into the mountains to make it feel remote.
Read MoreThis highly anticipated Illinois wedding was the brain child of Valerie and Cody’s long years of planning, and quite a few tweaks a long the way. With the ceremony held at historical St. Peter's Catholic Church in Volo, IL and their reception at the picturesque outdoor Gardens of Woodstock in Woodstock, IL, I’m glad it was able to come together without a hitch.
Read MoreChristina and Dane had to reschedule their California wedding date not once, and not twice, but three times before they were able to finally tie down a date at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach in Dana Point for their upcoming wedding. It was only fitting after doing our first engagement session at Victoria Beach, to catch back up at Vasquez Rocks, and repeat the glorious process!
Read MoreHanging with the Saldutti family is always a highlight to any day or even any wedding, as I am lucky enough to get to see these smiling faces pretty often. We were able to get together the morning after a wedding in Winters, Ca and create some new memories for their little family. October doesn’t always look like Fall in California, but at least their yellow pallette let us pretend a little bit.
