Oh wow…where to begin! Kelly & Matthew had one of the funnest weddings I have ever been to. Seriously. It was awesome.

Rob and I had the honor of photographing Julie & Brian’s engagement photos several months ago, and when we first met them we immediately fell in love. I think we laughed more than we talked or worked. Several coffee dates later we were excited to call them friends and looking forward to their summer wedding. […]

Yesterday was just one of those days… felt like a Monday and I couldn’t focus on anything productive. I found myself sinking into a belief that I wasn’t chasing my dreams hard enough . As soon as I turn on my computer, there are reminders everywhere of what others are doing and how others are […]

Yup. It was awesome. I got to photograph two wonderful friends as they got engaged! I stood hiding in one of the only trees that could be found above timberline at cottonwood pass. I waited silently hoping the people on top of the trail would yell out ‘Hey what’s that photographer doing hiding in a […]

Kristen is the type of girl who you would want to be friends with. She is so kind, fun, thoughtful and gorgeous. It was so easy and joyful to spend an entire day in her presence. Brian obviously agrees and couldn’t wait to finally have Kristen as his Bride in May. The couple is a […]

Yup, the adorable high school sweethearts committed to a life together while riding a gondola above the giraffes…awesome right??! The couple had their destination wedding at Della Terra in Estes Park. […]

What a weekend! After bachelorette parties, Della Terra weddings, family dinners and kayaking I am officially sun burnt & in love with summer. This past Friday was my birthday, and I told Rob that all I wanted was to blow out candles. We ate a picnic on our kayaks then went out for ice cream. […]
