Emily + Ben | Denver Wedding Photographer

So I just had my third photo session with Emily and Ben… and now we’ve officially taken photos together in our third different state!! From Texas to Missouri to Colorado, I can’t get over the fact that it feels like we’ve been everywhere together! Back in the 2019, these two chose me to capture their big day and I never would have guessed two years later we’d be doing Ben’s headshots in a completely different city!

The first time we met, I was living in St. Louis and they were in Houston.. so of course I flew out to Houston to capture their engagement session. It was about 99 degrees out, but it turned out amazing! Fast forward a few months and these two had such a fun wedding in STL, disney theme included! Some of my favorite candid shots came from Ben and Emily’s wedding and I remember her dress being straight out of storybook. These two have so much fun and laughter together it can be infectious!

Two years later, I’m out here in Denver and was thrilled to find out these two had come out to Colorado as well! So of course I said yes when Ben asked if I could do some headshots for him… plus a few of them together for old times sake :) Easily my favorite part of this job is getting to know my couples and it’s so cool seeing some of them grow over the years. I’m so blessed and honored that I could see Emily and Ben again to capture them one more time… in a third state no less!!

Through the years :)

I can’t believe this engagement shoot was two years ago!

First stop.. Houston!

And then the wedding in St. Louis!!

And here we are two years later taking pictures in the mountains of Colorado!

What a journey it’s been with you two.. wouldn’t change a thing! I’ve loved working with you two!

Boulder, CO Engagement | Denver Wedding Photographer

From the moment I met them out for beers at Seedstock Brewery, I knew Cassie and Thomas were going to be a lot of fun to work with! They were just so easy going and clearly loved being around each other, which is what I always look for in my couples. They have such a great story meeting in Minneapolis and eventually finding each other again Denver. Which is fantastic because, based on the time I’ve spent with them, they clearly belong together!

Fast forward to their engagement session this past Friday and they absolutely did not disappoint! Of course, we created some very epic and beautiful mountain photos, but my favorite parts were all the fun, little moments we were able to capture. Don’t get me wrong, ever since I moved out to Colorado these mountain photos are a dream! But I’ll always adore the small, fun moments more than anything else. I can’t wait to capture more of Cassie and Thomas’ moments together when they get married in September! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these photos from their engagement session!

I mean right from the beginning these two were just having so much fun!

We started at Chautauqua Park and found some great spots!

We almost walked right past this spot, but there was no way I was passing up this gorgeous light!

I just love how much these two enjoy each other!

After Chautauqua Park we made it up to the Lost Gulch Overlook… and wow what a view! I loved that Cassie and Thomas were totally up for navigating these giant boulders in their dress clothes. Honestly, Cassie did better in her heels than I did in my trail runners…

So gorgeous!!

Nothing like getting your dance on at the top of a mountain!

Telluride+ Mesa Verde+ Ouray Trip

Moving out to Denver recently, I was completely sure what I had gotten myself into… and so far it’s been everything I could have hoped for! Being out here I get to be near some of my closest friends and I’ve been able to meet some new people as well! So when a bunch of us decided to take a trip down to Telluride, I was so pumped! My first trip since moving to Denver and it’s in one of the most beautiful areas in the country, I was more than happy to sign up for that.

We started with a visit to Mesa Verde and it was absolutely stunning!!! The colors, the canyons, the mountains… everything about it seemed out of a painting!

Mesa Verde was unbelievable!! We did dinner at the cabin and enjoyed the evening with games and good company. But we needed some action the next day and we had the perfect hill for sledding! So of course I took pictures and they are absolutely hilarious!

It was so much fun and pretty ridiculous honestly! Finally we made our trip out to Telluride and I’ll tell you what the views did not disappoint!

What a trip! We finally capped it off with a stop in the authentic mountain town of Ouray!

I gotta say what a hell of a first trip out in Colorado!! I had so much fun with old friends and new ones. Definitely a trip I won’t forget and I can’t wait to go back!

Sarah + Adam Mountain Session | Denver Wedding Photographer

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!

Little behind the scenes action!
