Moss Denver Wedding | Denver Wedding Photographer

Callie and Chris’ big day was the absolute perfect way to end my wedding season! With a beautiful church ceremony at Good Shepherd Catholic Church and a fun reception at Denver Moss, the day was so easy going and these two really got to show off their love for each other. Getting two know Callie and Chris over the course of the year was such a pleasure makes me really appreciate my job :) I always love the experience of my couples doing a church wedding followed by a cool venue! You get the amazing architecture of a beautiful church and the great backdrops of Moss Denver all in one day. I love when you get that kind of variety during a wedding!

Callie and Chris were so great to work with and these two genuinely have such an amazing relationship. You could see it just in the way there were around each other and the outpouring of love from their friends and family. Their first dance is a great example of this: they were laughing and just having fun with each other the whole time and you can really see it in those dancing photos! We ended up with some absolutely stunning images throughout the day and congrats to both of you! Here’s a preview of the day, hope you enjoy!

Spruce Mountain Wedding- Denver Wedding Photographer

It was such a perfect day for Abby and David’s wedding at Spruce Mountain! The weather was gorgeous, the clouds were beautiful, and these two were so happy all day it was infectious! Starting with a first look at the pond, the day only got better from there. These two were so sweet and were smiling all day and the ceremony out in the ranch was absolutely picture perfect! The reception featured some very heartfelt speeches and everybody was on the dance floor having a blast. Spruce Mountain ranch is that perfect venue for getting that mountain feel without having to travel all the way into the mountains. The ceremony spot is a gorgeous field with a mountain backdrop and enough space to accommodate a wedding of any size! Everything is right near each other from the bridal suite and groom’s room to the cocktail hour and reception, so it’s perfect for a one stop shop.

Here are some photos from the day! We got some really amazing moments from Abby, David, and all of their wedding guests. I had an absolute blast photographing this wedding and that’s all thanks to the amazing vendors, venue, and everyone that attended! So check out all the love and laughter from the day here in this blog! Hope you enjoy!

Jenny + David's University of Missouri Wedding

Going back to where I went to college to photograph Jenny and David’s wedding was such a blast and FULL of nostalgia! I spent four amazing years at the University of Missouri and it was so cool to spend a weekend back there to celebrate with these two! Rain has definitely been the theme of our time working together, starting with a little bit of a downpour during our engagement session in Colorado. But Jenny and David stuck through that and we ended up with a double rainbow!

Once again rain was looking to sneak into the day for these two, but at the last minute it decided to hold off and let Jenny and David have the perfect day they were hoping for! From some rooftop first looks to some fun pictures at the columns, it was such a fun day and night overall! Congrats Jenny and David! Here’s a sneak peek from the day to enjoy!

Estes Park Wedding | Colorado Wedding Photographer

9.25.21 Cassie+Thomas Blog Lo Res-132.jpg

After planning all year for it, finally Cassie and Thomas’ big day came! And it was absolutely beautiful!! You couldn’t have picked a better day to have a fall wedding in Colorado! The weather was perfect, the aspens were turning that gorgeous yellow, and all of their family and friends were in Estes Park to celebrate! One thing Cassie and Thomas were hoping for were those beautiful Autumn colors on their wedding and the day did not disappoint! Lily Lake had some of that great color they were looking for and then some! These two could not stop smiling and laughing with each other… and that makes for some great photos :) I had such a great experience working with these two and I’m so happy their day was so perfect!

One really cool unique part of their wedding was the exit from their church ceremony! Beforehand they gather tons of fall leaves to give to the guests to throw as they left the church! It worked perfectly and the pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous! Would highly recommend this idea if you’re doing a fall wedding. Congrats again you two and I can’t wait to get the rest of these photos to you!

Sarah + Adam Mountain Session | Denver Wedding Photographer

Moving to Denver was one the best decisions I’ve made in a long time! A big part of the reason is because of all the great friends out here! Adam and Sarah have been with me from the beginning, so its not surprising they are the subject of my very first blog post!

3.27.21 Sarah+Adam Lo Res-4.jpg

Wow taking these photos of Sarah and Adam brings back some big nostalgia vibes! Years ago, in St. Louis, these two were my first ever portrait shoot and now here we are again. Although this time they were willing to get back into their wedding attire and relive a little bit of their own nostalgia!

Needless to say the pictures turned out so gorgeous!!! Sarah looked just as beautiful in her wedding dress as she did the first time she wore it! And Adam looked great in his suit.. they complimented each other perfectly. It was just as if I was back at their wedding two years ago in STL, expect for the insane mountain views!

When some of us decided to take a trip out to the mountains near Telluride, we figured why not get some epic Colorado photos while we’re at it. Sarah and Adam have been good friends of mine for a long time and have been two of my biggest supporters on this photography journey of mine, so I'm very grateful for them and just wanted to say thank you! Thank you for always rooting for me, for your unwavering support, and, of course, for letting me use you as my models from St. Louis to Telluride! Can’t wait to take your 50th anniversary photos years down the road :)

From my very first portrait shoot to my latest! It’s been a fun four years!
