There are a lot of great bachelorette party ideas in the USA, depending on what the bride-to-be and her friends are interested in.

Colorado during the winter brings a certain kind of magic and romance that other seasons don’t. Especially at Devil’s Thumb Ranch in Tabernash (outside of Winter Park). The wedding was a weekend full of events - which allows guest to truly be present and spend time with the couple. Here are a few of my favorites from the big day!

We decided on Lookout Mountain in Golden and had zero regrets. Jenny and Ben read letters to each other and we ended with a Champagne spray and some fun lanterns. Can’t wait for your big day in April!

Alex and Logan could not be a better fit. It’s like there are people (like me) who love going on a fun hike here and there and then there are people who wake up at 5am regularly and hike 8 mile hikes. Alex and Logan are the later and I am obsessed with how this session went and the chemistry these two have.

Obsessed with everything about this bohemian Mexico Destination wedding at Acre Baja!

Bryan and Lauren drove up with their closest friends and family to Santa Barbara from L.A. to celebrate their love. If you have been to Santa Barbara you know it is a magical place and even more magical at the Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm. They had their first look in a green house amongst a few goats and chickens before heading out to say their vows on the cliffs where you could smell the ocean.

First of all - CONGRATULATIONS! There is so much to prepare for when having a baby and the last thing you want is another list of things to do. So know if this feels overwhelming, just skip on ahead to number 8 - just showing up. You do not need the perfect outfit or backdrop - you just need to be you.

Something I did more of in 2020 was PORCH SESSIONS! Such a fun and safe way to capture this unique time in our lives.

Stephanie Mack with Velet Armoire Flora was the master mind behind this amazing set up. She hosted a small content workshop in Buena Vista at the Surf Chateau. Here is a few shots from the first shoot - titled “edgy glam” :)

Nabilla and Alex had never been to the Sand Dunes which was super exciting for me. To be with someone when they experience this place for the first time is like Christmas morning - I can’t think of how to describe it. When you are in the middle of the dunes surrounded by sand and amazing views there is nothing wrong with the world. There is no pandemic or injustice or wild fires. Just sand. Ha. At least this is how I feel. It is magical.

OHHHH and a surprise to all of us (except Jake of course) - they got engaged at dinner! WHAAA! Kana texted that they were running a few min late bc (see photo below). A fun couples session just turned into an engagement session - and let me tell you the “just got engaged” look - looks pretty damn good on these two.

Marissa’s friends were putting together a small going away party but little did she know it would also be an engagement party! Maurice specifically wanted to propose in front of Union Station as that was their first date.

Brooke and Jonathan Couch (who are also photographers) braved the cold lake and then warmed up in the hot tub for this playful (and steamy) session!

It’s 2020 and you would think we have figured some of these things out! Buuuut we need HELP! I need help.

Emily and Jeff found the perfect cabin/hut to elope at just outside of Vail, Colorado. (In the winter you can snowshoe up to these huts!).

Natalie and Grady met whilst hiking the Appalachian Trail so getting married with nature is all they wanted as it is where they fell in love with each other.

We spent the night experimenting with the lights and our cameras and if you are in the Denver area you just gotta check it you. Here is their instagram!

Meet Brook and Jonathan Couch - they are super talented photographers and I had the pleasure of meeting them at the Hey Darling Workshop hosted by Henry Tieu in May. We did a few styled shoots throughout the workshop but this one was one of my favorites

The love that Ann and Tommy share radiated throughout their day in Steamboat, Colorado. As Tommy came down the isle, everyone began cheering.

Following a courtship that lasted more than a year and spanned multiple continents, Emily and Hernán were wed at Hacienda Grande in the charming town of Tequisquiapan, Mexico.
