Session at the Sand Dunes with Nabilla and Alex
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.
Elopement at Big Sur
Rebecca and Luke had dreamed of Big Sur for their elopement location and made a whole week of exploring the California coast line. I was fortunate to get to tag along for photo with We are Matt and Jess!
Kana + Jake Engaged in Denver
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.
Proposal + Pizza
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.
Black Lives Matter
This nice thing about being a business owner is I don’t have to approve anything through a boss. I get to speak whatever I want and THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Adventure Session with Brooke and Jonathan
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!
What to do when your wedding is affected by COVID-19
First of all - none of us could have predicted the level that this pandemic has effected everyone’s lives. We are all figuring this out month by month and sometimes day by day.
Making your business (and yourself) LGBTQ+ inclusive
It’s 2020 and you would think we have figured some of these things out! Buuuut we need HELP! I need help.
Emily + Jeff | Elopement in Vail, CO
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!).
Top Five Reasons More People are Eloping!
There are a lot of perks to eloping. And you can find a lot of blogs out there on about it (mostly written by photographers who are dying to tag along and capture it).
Who needs a head shot or branding session?!
Every business owner needs a head shot and some need a whole branding session.
Mentoring Sessions!
When I first started out I was taking online classes through Creative Live and any free outlet I could find. I went to a meet up about the basics of photography. I was eager to learn but I was also a little too prideful to admit some things.
Whiskey + Weddings
You guys! I love living in Denver. Granted I’m a little bias since my family is here and I am from here but my experience with the wedding industry in Denver has definitely been more COMMUNITY OVER COMPETITION. In a state where the wedding “season” is only about 6 months I have realized how important it is to connect with other wedding photographers.
Natalie and Grady | Elopement in Grandby, Colorado
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.
Anna + Adam | Elopement in Colorado
Anna and Adam traveled from Pennsylvania with there immediate families to have an intimate ceremony at Red Rocks Trading Post. Red Rocks is breath taking and such a cool spot to say your vows. But since the ceremony was at 4pm - we met up the night before for a first look and golden hour photos. The sky was showing off and it was a magical weekend for everyone.
Erin + Jake | Iceland Elopement
Do you believe in manifesting things? I’m a little skeptical but while talking with some friends I decided to say out loud that I would like an Iceland elopement. Like many elopement photographers Iceland is a dream location to shoot for obvious reasons.
Megan + Mike | Wedding in Estes Park
One of my favorite things about Megan and Mike’s wedding were their tribe and “friends of honor.” From matching robes while getting ready to matching denim jackets - Megan and Mike knew how to make them feel special. Something else that I had never seen before was the florist hand glued real flowers onto Megan’s veil! It looked so ethereal and romantic.
Oregon Coast Session | The Erics
The world is so much better because these two met and fell in love. And I hope that this blog post gives you a tiny glimpse of the real emotion and happiness these two have brought each other.
Spooky Session at Denver Aviary
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!
Couples Shoot at Hey Darling Workshop!
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
