It was a treat to assist Eleanor for Candice and Angela’s wedding in Boulder. The weather was gorgeous, despite the drizzle we got during the ceremony, the venues were breathtaking at the top of a mountain and at the St. Julien in Boulder. Candice and Angela were so kind, joyful and gracious throughout their day. They gave such nice toasts/speeches before dinner, made sure to hug and thank each and every guest who attended and made sure to enjoy their day! Witnessing their love was so special.

Colorado Engagement Photographer - Clinton Gulch Dam Surprise Proposal

Colorado Engagement Photographer - Clinton Gulch Dam Surprise Proposal

Andie and I met in Illinois when we were 12 or 13. We did club gymnastics together for a few seasons, then we went off to different high schools and didn’t keep really keep in touch. At least 5 years later, Andie and I both end up in the Denver area of Colorado. We got dinner together and instantly reconnected like we had never stopped being friends. Andie is one of those people who makes you feel 10x better than you already did after spending time with her. She has amazing advice, insight and is such a supportive friend.

Our lives have changed drastically since we reconnected in Colorado last year, and now she’s engaged!!! Andie and Kevin met through mutual friends in Denver, but realized they had mutual friends in college too. So they’ve been in close proximity to each other off and on for a few years and finally connected in Colorado. I met Kevin once awhile ago at Andie’s birthday party and he was just as great as she was. We had great conversation for a few hours at that party. Five months later, I got a text from Kevin asking if we could talk on the phone sometime and told me he was planning to propose! And the next few weeks, we secretly planned everything out.

November 6th was the day! I got to the reservoir early, made friends with some fishermen, then hid near a tree and waited for Kevin and Andie. There was snow on the ground but the sun was so warm that I was wearing a t-shirt! Andie and Kevin walked around near the water, and Kevin had previously drawn a picture of the lookout he was going to propose at. So when they got to the lookout spot, Kevin showed Andie his drawing that included a sketch of himself down on one knee. Watching this unfold was so emotional and I loved it all.

There are no coincidences. Andie and I both ending up in Denver at this time of our lives was meant to be. I’m so grateful for friends like her that I’ve been able to effortlessly reconnect with and make amazing memories together.

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!

Max and Linnea’s Golden, CO Mountain Wedding was incredible. Max and Linnea are such kind people. One of my favorite parts of photographing weddings is getting to know people I’ve met maybe once or twice. I get to hear their family and friends speak about their relationship and them as individuals. I get to hear the best things about them. It makes me so happy to hear people being told how much of an impact they’ve had because of wonderful people. Being around Max and Linnea for about 8 hours on their wedding day gave me a view into their lives. I got to meet all of their closest friends and family. I got to see them smile at each other every time someone congratulated them on their marriage- it was incredible. Cheers to this awesome couple and their new beginning!
