Meet Amy + Mike (most people call him Tilly). I think you will see for yourself, their wedding day was spectacular. The forecast called for 90% chance of rain all day. The ceremony was planned to be outside as well as the cocktail hour. But…the clouds broke open and the sun came out almost all […]

I can honestly say after 12 years of wedding photography it is so clear to me what makes an epic wedding…it is always the people. This is probably true about life, but I am certain it is true to weddings. Kelsey + Drew’s wedding day started with thunderstorm warnings and plenty of rain and hail. […]

Danyelle + Reid are a brilliant and kind couple who are so easy to spend time with. We loved watching the way these two balance each other so well and bring out the best in one another! The couple had an intimate wedding at the rustic Wild Basin Lodge. Although it was late April, in […]

We met at 6:00am at the trail head in Rocky Mountain National Park. Although Dan & Jeanne are from Florida, they had hiked this trail to Dream Lake before and thought it would be the perfect place to Elope at Sunrise. You guys, I can’t contain my giddy feeling about this shoot…it was such a […]

It had been too long since we’ve taken the camper out and went on a new adventure! It is amazing how refreshing a few days outside can be. It takes time, and sacrifice but it is so worth it. We finally made it happen this fall and it was a highlight of the year! Also […]

These two feel pretty special to us. We met Mike about 10 years ago at Young Life, and lost touch over the years, but a few months ago he reached out about engagement photos. We got to meet Jackie at the engagement session and immediately fell in love with her. It is so fun to […]

I’m so encouraged. There are absolutely wonderful people in this world. There are families that are together and love each other deeply. There are selfless and brave leaders all around us. After 11 years of shooting weddings we just keep meeting incredible people. Every single person at Jaime and Michael’s wedding was wildly kind and […]

Meet Kristin and Tyler. They are awesome. A wedding day reveals a lot about a couple and a family. Everyone is gathered and emotions are high. It is always so fun to see the crowd of people who have been impacted by the lives of the bride and groom. Kristin and Tyler had quite the […]

It is always such a wild experience to show up to a destination wedding without ever having had the chance to meet the couple. We know we are about to spend all day with a bride and groom on one of the most important days of their lives. Well, Lauren and Grant exceeded all of […]

Well, Rob wins. He surprised me with our dream vacation for our 6 year anniversary! I am still blown away at how hard he worked to make this trip possible, it is unreal and I feel so very spoiled. We traveled to Iceland, Italy & Switzerland. We got to rent a camper van in Iceland […]
