I feel the need to mention that there is no one right way to have a wedding because weddings of all types are awesome, but one must make sure to choose the type of wedding that is right for them

I think it is so simple, but it is easy to forget, and to overshadow a true moment with the grandeur of ‘wedding’ or ‘engagement’.

The level of fall dreaminess at Sam and Brian’s River Garden Winery wedding this past October is simply off the charts. Golden leaves, golden light, light blue cloud dappled skies, perfect temperature and the list goes on and on.  

The Boulder Creek Fest is literally one of my happiest places and I am actually a different person during Memorial Day weekend in Boulder.

When I enter a space for the first time my creative wheels are spinning and, in my experience, an excited photographer can make some bad ass images

I am just stoked to be able to get out there and photograph happy times and smiling faces.

My work is something that is so near and dear to me and I really truly pour my heart and soul into the photos I take. It sounds like a big messy ball of cheese but that’s how it is yo.

“Plan early, plan often, and plan up until the day before, but once it is the day of, just let things be and enjoy the day.”

I’ve been a wedding and portrait photographer much longer than I have been posting weekly blogs so I have decided to backtrack a little bit and retropost all of my favorite photos and sessions from my career

What I love about Lost Gulch is that the time of year does not have much of a correlation to how beautiful and epic this spot is!

We started the session right on the shore where Chris proposed to Kathryn just a few months ago. What a truly remarkable spot. The way the sun hit the water was nothing short of magic to me.

I think it is absolutely wonderful when people take the opportunity to get photos with their partner because they are on vacation or just because.

I like the premise of this contest, because it is just for fun which is 100% my speed since photography is so subjective

It may be a cliché but this all falls in line with a principle that has never failed me in life. You get out what you put in

As someone who works with people and strives to be photojournalistic I am feeling the reality of the common threads, and instead seeing each session as a marked box and I am seeing the moments and interactions more so as they truly are

The time spent during engagement sessions getting to know the couples I photograph is such an awesome experience that I value greatly.

I adore River Garden Winery – it is amazingly beautiful and my favorite part of all is that the vendors who work here together are very much a team

It makes me so happy to go back through these lush, green summer weddings during the winter time.  I physically crave June at this time of the year, so reliving the warmer months through weddings really helps boost my spirits!

I realize that I do my best work when I am myself and I have space in my brain for creativity. Being creative and innovative in the photos I take is my biggest goal this year. 

Something that I emphasize to my clients is that location is never the most important thing at a wedding or session because no setting I have ever seen has rivaled an emotionally charge expression of love. Having epic moments in epic places is the goal, but in that order of importance.

I have noticed a certain ease to weddings in which couples took their own routes instead of including traditions or components to they day that they wouldn’t have if they had complete freedom.   

 I am officially branching out to photograph some family sessions this year and I want to give credit to this wonderful family for reminding me how much I love capturing moments between people.  I love shooting in my hometown so if anyone you know is looking for Boulder family photos, hit me up!

When I look back on this session it is a great reminder to me of the power that a photograph can have. It is important to have photos of our loved ones with our loved ones.

The thing I want to emphasize in this post and that really sticks out to me about Megan and Tom is their high level of mutual respect. From minute one of meeting these two I could tell how well they treat people and one another in their relationship.

 I strive to take photos of significance, to capture moments that hold weight and are of a candid nature and it is easier to hide in the bushes when the couples I work with aren’t painfully aware that some lady is snapping frames of their intimate interactions.

These two were not afraid to let go entirely and be themselves during the session and I was able to capture a range of their emotions from their playful flirting and secrets to their serene snuggles and passionate kisses.
