Boulder, Colorado Documentary Wedding Photographer
Katie and Mike’s wedding day full of sunshine and color! These two made personalized key chains with each guest’s name on them at their seat before dinner, their flower girls tossed colorful ribbons, they danced to Allison Kraus and Still Woozy and they had the most loving guests. It was such a beautiful day. I’m grateful to have worked with an awesome photographer, Mikaela Antonelli to capture the day digitally and on film!

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.
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!

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.

I spent the afternoon with Samantha, her bridesmaids, flower girl and mother in their hotel room while everyone had their hair/make-up done. They were all so laid back, but excited at the same time! We made our way to Navy Pier in a limo to get to the Odyssey for the ceremony where Samantha hid in the bathroom of the boat while she waited for Daniel to arrive without seeing her. All the interactions I witnessed at this wonderful event were so kind and loving and I was happy to be a part of their day.
Today was a busy day with lots of amazing places for wedding pictures. We started out at the Residence Inn for getting ready images, then met Brandon in the lobby for the first look. Brandon and Katie are the kind of couple that look at each other with the most genuine expressions all day, so this moment was very special. Next, we drove to the LaSalle bridge and the gardens at the Art Institute for more photos. The reception hall is very unique and full of lots of different kinds of art, sculptures, neon signs and architecture. The arch for the ceremony was made out of old picture frame corners! It was a challenge to photograph the ceremony and reception at this venue, but totally worth it for the unique images. Katie, Brandon and their bridal party were so kind and very easy to work with.
Eden and Mike had been dating for about 12 years and have known each other since high school. They are finally husband and wife! Eden and Mike are such kind people with so much love for their friends and family. I saw so many hugs and heard words of love exchanged constantly throughout the day. Eden’s sister Cheyenne told her she loved Eden almost every time she saw her that day! This wedding was very focused on the guests and truly making the day a celebration with everyone that Eden and Mike are closest to. I felt very welcomed by both their friends and family while we spent the day together eating dinner, dancing and celebrating. I loved being a part of their day.
