Karen and Matt are wonderful for each other. They love well but laugh a lot along the way. I remember during their engagement session several months ago, sweet Karen could not stop laughing! She can’t contain her joy and laughter when she is around Matt, it is a wonderful thing and also contagious. The couple’s […]

Yesterday we had the honor of being apart of the Estes Park Wedding Association Bridal Show. The event was hosted by the always fabulous Della Terra. We were surrounded by plenty of familiar faces and many amazing vendors. There were about 100 brides who attended, and many more mothers and maid of honors. Occasionally we […]

Ryan and Paul have one of the  most beautiful love stories I have ever heard. Through prayers and faith they believed they were meant for each other, and they made it happen. They are powerful and stunning. They fight for what is good and love those they meet along the way. I was so honored […]

Oh my… I am just overwhelmed with these two. Meet McKendree and Tim, one of the coolest couples you will ever get to know. I was fortunate to share a house (actually a barn) with McKendree for several years during college. She has become one of my best friends and I cannot express my love […]

Courtney managed to plan a flawless wedding from out of state. Her heart was in Colorado, so the wedding was planned to be held at the church her groom grew up in, and the reception was at the fabulous Omni Interlocken. We also got to make a detour to Chautauqua park for some colorado scenery […]

Yup, Haley and I both cried, we couldn’t help it! The wedding of Stacy and Adam was lavished in love and tears. The anticipation of this wedding day was felt by many. Stacy and Adam have a love that is incredible deep and genuine. The world slows when the two are together. It is also […]

Oh my… these two are just something else. Katie and Scott met whitewater rafting at Noah’s Ark in Buena Vista, Colorado. They are both whitewater guides, and like a true Colorado dream, they fell in love on the river. Katie is a pure delight and Scott is quite the man. I have been blessed to […]
