Jason + Carissa

Where do I start here? Maybe with a thank you.  

Thank You Carissa for being the one who's been taming my mermaid hair for years. Ya'll she's the best hair stylist in Denver so go check her out. My hair was a mess before she got her hands on it. She's a color wizard and a beautiful soul.

Jason: Thank you for loving this woman. You two fit together like stars in the sky, and I'm so honored to have captured your engagement session. Your Mexico destination wedding will be so amazing, maybe I'll just end up at the same resort around that time. lol. Kidding. Sort of.

These two took a leap of faith with me and went to a location that I've been a hundred times, but never photographed at. LOL - YUP A DOG PARK!  My four legged fur-baby and I walk this park frequently, and I had always admired the mountain views, the rolling hills, and the meadows of unique desert-like plants. So we met up here, and magic happened.

After a few initial poses and prompts, Jason and Carissa got really into it and we started playing around with Double Exposures. They threw out ideas left and right, and I loved the collaboration that happened. I absolutely love their gallery, and I'm so so so so so stoked to share it with you. 

Feast your eyes on this.
 

Travis + Alicia

Wedding days are amazing. They’re all about flowers, details, timelines and color-coordinated outfits. A visual representation of your style, relationship, and dreams.

Travis and Alicia started their relationship off on the right foot - Friendship. They were interested in each other for many years but waited to start dating until the timing was just right, and most importantly waited to get married until the timing was just right. Love stories like theirs remind me that its okay to stop and look around for a second. Gather all the information, feelings and situations, and make a move when it feels right. Rather than moving along a timeline not made for you.

They exchanged their vows among their closest friends and family, while all the spring colors created such a gorgeous backdrop.  With these gorgeous details, the beauty of Willow Ridge Manor, their personal vows, their contagious laughter and the clear love and passion these two have for one another, their day was simply beautiful, meaningful and love-filled.  

They are truly some of the kindest and most thoughtful people I've gotten to know through my photography business. I cant wait to see how their love story unfolds.

Highlights: Alicia’s dad dressing up as Woody from Toy Story for their father/daughter dance (they danced to “You’ve got a friend in me”), the amazing dance party, flowers from Project Floral, views of the foothills and the red rocks of Morrison, one rad pink balloon, and all the love. 

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Bell!
