Boulder, CO Couples Photos at Shanahan Ridge

Courtney and Justin + Hazel and Mooney

These two are such a power couple. Courtney works as a chemist while in school at Harvard to get her Master’s degree! Justin owns his own HVAC business and works just as hard. They love exercising together, taking road trips with their pups to the middle of nowhere Colorado and supporting each other through all of their passions! I’ve been inspired while watching them grow as a couple and developing their senses of self. This photo session was wonderful to see them relax a bit into their love and enjoy this beautiful place in Boulder with their dogs.

Couples sessions are perfect for any time of year, but I’m especially about them while the wildflowers are blooming and the land is so lush!

Kara and Josh’s wedding day was incredible. They invited immediate family and their closest friends to be a small party of around 30 people. They are one of the most sweet couples I have ever met. These two are so in love and so meant to be together. Every photo that Eleanor and I took seemed so effortless. Kara and Josh put themselves into the sweetest poses on their own and looked lovingly into each other’s eyes every few minutes. Expressing their love and care for each other as we took photos, they did the best job of not noticing us as the photographers. Everything was so natural and I was so honored to witness and capture their love.

The symbolism in their day was intentional and beautiful. They call each other “blueberry” as a pet name, so Kara and Josh chose to get tattoos of blueberries instead of using wedding rings. To follow this theme, there was blueberry pie dessert. At the wedding ceremony, they had a unity plant for Kara’s mother who passed away that had soil from her and Josh’s garden at home mixed with some of her mother’s ashes. And the venue name, The Black Cat, holds meaning in the way they began dating. When her and Josh first met, she had a little black cat who trusted no one except Kara until that cat met Josh and jumped up on his lap that same day. And that’s how Kara knew Josh would be very special to her.

On top of all this beauty, Kara, Josh, their family and friends were all so welcoming. Eleanor and I had met some of them at Kara’s brother’s wedding that we photographed last year. It was such a perfect day with beautiful Colorado weather, amazing food at the farm to table restaurant and beautiful people in love.

Taylor and Keith are always my favorite couple in Colorado to go to the mountains and take photos for. They include their cats at home, then we get to go on a little adventure with the dogs. Taylor and I met a few years ago when I first moved to Colorado and we worked in Boulder together. Her friendship has been so meaningful to me. I always learn something new when we’re together. Her passion for political activism and indigenous rights in inspiring. I’ve loved watching her and her husband grow as people and to be able to document their relationship a little bit each year. <3

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.

Headshot Photographer in Boulder, Colorado

Headshots at Chautauqua are always breathtaking. The flat irons and open field is such a gorgeous area. I took some photos for Jason and I was so thrilled that he wanted to include his dog. I was even more excited when he asked if I could take some photos of him with his girlfriend Tara who came along too!! Couples sessions make my heart so happy. A week or so after I sent the photos to Jason, he let me now how special the moments were between him and Tara that I captured. The little moments full of emotion between Jason and Tara give me so much hope for love and goodness in the world. This session was only about 30 minutes long but it was great.

Boulder Couples Photos with Dogs

Couples photos are so much better with all the dogs! It was raining all morning and we were expecting a foot of snow in Colorado later that afternoon. I met Leanna and Karl in Longmont and the dogs loved sniffing in the rain. We took lots of photos and used lots of hot dogs to bribe the dogs. We made it home right before the snow started and it was great. I loved taking these photos for Karl and Leanna and giving them these photos of them their little babies.

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!
