There are so many beautiful moments tucked away in all the craziness of a wedding day.. such a large part of what I love to do is the photojournalistic aspect and getting those intimate, fun, and candid photos of my couples and everyone celebrating with them! Even my posing has a very candid vibe to it that my couples always appreciate. I just wanted to share a few of those on my blog today and really highlight what a special day this is for so many people! Enjoy!

The big day is finally here!! All of your prep and planning is finally coming to fruition! With all of the hard work you put into it, it’s only natural you want the day to be perfect. But don’t forget this is your party and this day is about you and your soon to be groom or bride! The goal is to fully enjoy every moment and here are some tips that will help you on your big day.

Your first look is an amazing part of your wedding day! If you aren’t sure about this tradition, this blog will explain why it’s such a romantic addition to your wedding day that not only adds to the experience, but also reduces stress! I never want my couples to feel pressured with this option, however I want to make sure I share all the benefits because there are reasons why couples do it and LOVE it!

Rosie and David’s Copper Mountain certainly didn’t disappoint on the winter vibes! This wedding was such a blast and had some really beautiful moments! Check it out on today’s blog!

Kelsey and Dylan killed their engagement session out in Roxborough Park in Colorado! They had so much fun with it and really brought out their personalities :) Come check out the gorgeous photos in the blog!

Evelyn and Andrew had such a gorgeous engagement session at the front range in Boulder. Come check it out!

Golden Gate Canyon State Park is such a beautiful area for an engagement session! I had a blast with Abby and David getting these photos that really show of their fun loving personalities. This park is filled with so many great trails and lakes to get a photo op and has a lookout area for some great views as well!

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.

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!

Katie and Tim were my very first couple to book me when I moved out to Denver last year, and it’s been such an awesome year getting to know these two! Finally wedding day arrived for these two this past Saturday and I couldn’t be happier for them! It was very obvious from the get go that these two were meant to be and I love their story so much.

Planning a wedding can be tough! There’s a lot that goes into it and so many details to keep track of. One thing I pride myself on is helping my couples throughout the year so their day can be perfect! So I decided to reach out to some past brides of mine and get their opinion on what they learned about their wedding day.

What a fun session at Mt. Falcon out here in Denver!! Despite it being a bit dark and chilly we got some truly awesome pictures of Paige and Ryan for their engagement session! It even started snowing on the way back to the cars, so of course we had to get a few of them together in the falling snowflakes.

Some of my favorite pictures form wedding day or my engagement sessions are the ones where my couples include their furry friends! And we all know out here in Denver, everybody loves their pups! If you’re thinking of including you pet in your pictures for the big day, I can guarantee you with a little planning we can get some great memories of you all together!

When Emily got in contact with me saying they were coming up from Florida and wanted an engagement session out in the mountains, I was so down for it! Even more she mentioned she loved my Boulder sessions, which is one of my favorite spots, so I was even more excited! I love when couples from out of state come to Denver for shoots with me and these two were so good at working with the camera.

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!

Third time’s a charm with this Katie and Tim’s engagement session! With a couple reschedules with the last one due to weather, we just beat out the rain for a perfect evening at Mount Falcon just outside of Denver! These two are so easy to get along with and made for such an easy session.

Some of my favorite pictures from my weddings are the final photos we do at the end of the night before I wrap up! From rooftop photos to incredibly romantic night shots in the rain, these photos let me get creative with flash and will get you something very different from everything else we have gotten throughout the day.

Jenny and David came all the way from Missouri to get some beautiful mountain photos out in Boulder… well we got even more than that! After a good 20 minutes of rain we had to make decision if we were gonna stick it out, and wow were we glad we did!

One of the big pros of having some St. Louis weddings left, is being able to spend some time with my sister and her family! It’s been really great seeing them when I’ve been back in town and it’s really cool seeing my nephew Jackson and my niece Cami grow up right in front of me!

Wedding details really set a tone for the wedding day! For my wedding couples that aren’t sure what you want included, this blog has some great tips to get the most out of your detail photos!
