I had the pleasure of participating in the annual Estes Park Bridal Crawl last weekend. Every year buses load up brides to take them on a tour of the wonderful venues Estes Park has to offer. Sounds a little funny to cram many brides in one bus, but it is always a blast. Every venue […]

I am stoked to introduce you all to Mackenzie! She is a wonderful friend and a talented woman. She has one of the busiest schedules I know, yet she is having the time of her life planning her wedding (she is also the one who created these adorable bridesmaids gifts). If you are at all […]

Phew baby, what a week it has been! Last Saturday Rob and I flew out to Vegas for the annual Wedding & Portrait Photographers International conference. I remember packing up for WPPI and trying to prepare to learn as much as possible. I wanted to come away with new knowledge about the wedding photography industry, […]

These two are one of the kindest couples you could ever meet. I had never met Kate or Jeremy until their wedding day, but I can honestly say I left feeling like good friends. When I walked in the room, Kate stopped everything to give me a hug, only knowing me through emails and the […]

It was all picturesque! Amber was glowing with a perfect fitting dress, plenty of gorgeous jewelry and a background of the Stanley Hotel. Amber and Bryan (an awesome couple by the way)  flew in form California to have their dream wedding in Colorado. Every detail was well thought through and it was obvious that every […]

It is hard to believe! It seems like only yesterday Rob asked me to prom my sophomore year of High School. I was walking down the hall getting ready to go to volleyball practice when Rob pulled me aside and casually asked if I wanted to go to prom. I nervously said ‘sure’ (real cool […]
