It's All In The Details

The whole day begins with the

DETAILS!

This is one of my favorite parts of the day because it allows me to prepare and get my creative side warmed up for the rest of the day! This blog to help my brides that aren’t sure what to bring and the best way to make sure I get those detail shots that sets the tone and style for the rest of the day! There is no wrong way to do your details, if there is something you think you might want in the pictures you absolutely should include it.

When we get close to wedding day, I’ll make sure to have a final phone call with you to go over some last minute tips and details. In this call, I’ll let you know the best way to make sure everything is ready for me is to have all of your details on one place (a lot of brides use a shoe box or a bag). That way when I arrive I can get right to work and we can get your wedding day started!

Below is a list of a few common items my brides use for their details, but as I said before, the sky is the limit!

Common Items To Have For Your Wedding Details

-Dress-

-Veil/ Hair Pieces-

-Rings (all three)-

-Shoes-

These are just the most common items! You don’t have to have them all and you absolutely don’t have to stick with only this list. Below are some photos with some of the common stuff and some different things that were special for my couples!

Callie + Chris Moss Denver Wedding

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 :) 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!

Abby + David's 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. Here are some photos from the day! Hope you enjoy!

Donovan Pavilion Wedding- Vail Wedding Photographer

Miranda and Spencer’s big day up in Vail, CO was so much fun!! Rain or shine these two were going to make the most out of the day and, despite a little rain, they absolutely did that! One of the biggest things on your wedding day is to trust your vendors so you can truly enjoy the day you’ve been planning for so long and these two were so great at staying the moment with their friends, family and with each other. The photos turned out beautiful and you can really see how appreciate everyone was to be involved! Here’s a some of the photos from throughout the day to show that. Hope you enjoy!

Kristina + Matt's Boulder Wedding

I absolutely love the intimacy and vibe of a small wedding and Kristina and Matt’s backyard wedding had the best vibes! These two are so laid back and down to earth so this wedding fit them so perfectly! So simple yet so elegant, it was such an easy going experience I forgot I was even working. Kristina and Matt are such an amazing couple and you could just tell these two were perfect for each other! Having their ceremony and reception at Kristina’s mothers beautiful home made for a great, carefree day for these two and the pictures turned out amazing! Here’s a little sneak peek of Kristina and Matt’s Boulder wedding! Enjoy!

Jenny + David's Mizzou 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!

Cassie + Thomas Estes Park Wedding

After planning all year for it, finally Cassie and Thomas’ big day came! And it was absolutely beautiful!! 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! Congrats again you two and I can’t wait to get the rest of these photos to you!

Sarah + Adam Mountain Session

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!

So beautiful in that dress!!

I absolutely love veil shots and this one turned out great!

That backdrop though….

Gotta show off the dress!
