Boulder, CO Engagement Photographer at Shanahan Ridge

I met Maddie & Tristin in the summer right when I started dating my boyfriend. (Tristin and my boyfriend are childhood best friends) When I met Maddie and Tristin, I remember how inclusive and welcoming they both were. Maddie sent me a text introducing herself before we all went to Wyoming for a weekend together, then we spent 3 days together and got close pretty quickly. Honestly, since that weekend in June, I knew I had an amazing group of friends for life.

Maddie and Tristin are the most kind, fun and conversational people. They met each other when Maddie interviewed Tristin for a communications company she worked for in Michigan while Tristin was living in New Mexico. After that, they started talking, dating and traveling to see each other. Eventually, Maddie decided to move to New Mexico so they could live together, then they moved to Colorado a few years later. The timing of all our lives lining up with each other has been unreal. I’m so grateful to be connected with Maddie and Tristin and to have them as some of my closest friends. Couples photos are always special, but the more emotional and personal connections with friends like this make it so much better. <3

Andrew and Estelle- Rocky Mountain Sky Pond Proposal Photographer

Andrew & Estelle - Rocky Mountain Sky Pond Proposal Photographer

I’ve only known Andrew and Estelle for about 4 months, but they are already 2 of my closest friends. They’re both such kind people. Estelle is always paying attention to details for organizing things for our big friend group and being such a good host whenever we go to hers and Andrew’s house. She lets me borrow her clothes all the time and is the best about remembering things to do for other people when they ask her for a favor. Andrew has the best energy to be around. Literally always smiling, down for any adventure and always the life of the friend group. So obviously when we all woke up early on a Saturday, Andrew was the first one up at 3:30 am to start our adventure. Our group of 9 people hiked the 11 miles to Sky Pond to see our friends get engaged! All I feel is love and gratitude for all of these beautiful people. This location was perfect for a proposal. Afterwards, we had lunch and drank some champagne together. Andrew and Estelle have been together for 8 years and I’m so happy they’re finally officially getting married.

Lindsay and Sean’s Boulder, CO Intimate Mountain Wedding

Lindsay & Sean’s Boulder, CO Intimate Mountain Wedding

Lindsay and Sean met at a comedy club one night when Lindsay didn’t really want to go out with her friends but reluctantly agreed to go. After that night, they discovered so many commonalities among their friends, values and beliefs. They are such a cool, sweet couple. They bought a house in Boulder and have been completely renovating it on their own. Gardening, setting up outdoor lights, building sheds, garages, installing countertops and flooring in the kitchen- everything!! They even renovated a van together to travel in. Despite the persistent rain on their day, it let up at the last second and they decided to have their ceremony outside as planned in the area that they built benches and a ceremony arch for! This rainy mountain wedding was beautiful.

Erik and Sarah’s Boulder, CO Mountain Wedding Photographer

This wedding started at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. The ceremony was at the foothills of the Flat Irons, then we drove up Flagstaff mountains for some amazing views (including a TORNADO) before going to the Flagstaff house for their reception and dinner. Erik and Sarah are great together. They had lots of down time to be present together. Their intimate wedding was beautiful and allowed them to connect with the select few friends and family who were there for them. Boulder weddings always amaze me!

Denver, CO Wedding Inspiration

- Fatima and Roy’s Wedding - I’ve known Fatima and Roy since middle school and this was such a beautiful day to be a part of. I cried during their vows, first dances and a few other times. Weddings are so special to me. I get to watch people in love be their truest selves together for an entire day and document it all. It’s one of the most emotionally inspiring things to witness <3

Boulder Elopement Photographer - Lake Isabelle Sunrise Elopement

Taylor and Keith’s Lake Isabelle Sunrise Elopement - August 2020

Taylor and Keith decided to self solemnize in Colorado. Colorado is one of the few states that allows couples to get married without an officiant or witness. We had an early morning and met at the trail head around 4:45am. We hiked a few miles up to the lake and arrived just as the sun was coming up. The color on the mountains was changing every minute- it was gorgeous and only 45 degrees. We took lots of photos, drank some Prosecco and hiked back to the parking lot by 8am. Almost everyone we saw congratulated them as we hiked back. Taylor and Keith are such an inspirational couple. They are activists and always making their voices heard. I’m always in a great mood after I spend time with them. This morning adventure was one of my favorites so far, good company and amazing views!

Granby, Colorado Adventure Wedding Photographer

Paige and Tyler's Granby Ranch Mountaintop Wedding was incredible. Everyone attending the wedding was able to take the ski lift up to the top of the mountain for the ceremony. The ceremony site overlooked the mountains and the views were so gorgeous. Paige and Tyler are so so kind and are a beautiful couple. They truly focused on their friends and family and each other the whole day. Their friends and family’s speeches and toasts made everyone cry and I felt so happy I was able to be a part of their day.

Aleece and Jeff’s Boulder Creek wedding at WedgeWood was gorgeous!

I arrived and met the groomsmen to start taking photos with Mackenzie. This entire bridal party was hilarious. Typically, groups of people need prompting to look more natural and to relax a bit. These people were already there! They were cracking jokes nonstop and laughing, looking incredible! It was a challenge to reign them all in to take a photo of them looking at the camera with more serious faces. I would take this kind of challenge any day.

It started drizzling after the ceremony, so we took some quick group photos, but then there was a downpour with tons of thunder and lightning. No one was fazed- the cocktail hour moved under the tent where dinner would be and we ran out to take photos whenever the rain let up a little.

Flagstaff House Mountain Wedding Photographer- Boulder, CO

Megan and Zach's Flagstaff Mountain Wedding in Boulder, CO was beautiful and quaint. Their entire party included about 18 people. Their ceremony overlooked Boulder from the Flagstaff House on Flagstaff Mountain and everything below the Flat Irons. I loved their short evening that only included their closest friends and family.
