Rachael + Christian

What does it mean to be married if it’s not all about navigating life’s ups and down’s together?! Rachael and Christian had big plans for their wedding this weekend, but like many others, due to COVID-19 they had to reimagine their day. Because of the state regulations, their guest list had to be cut significantly, they found a new location, and their vendors shifted to make it work. Of Course I was on board to help pull this off!

I was honored to spend the day with R + C and their immediate family in Boulder Colorado. Camp chairs made up the ceremony seating, all of the families dogs ran together throughout the fields, and everyone had the biggest smile on their faces because A WEDDING WAS HAPPENING! Even if it looked different.

R + C took wedding portraits throughout property, which a family friend of the Groom graciously allowed them to use for their elopement location. Horses, a winding creek, apple trees, + humongous peonies were just a few of the insanely beautiful details we got to play with.

Some of the many Highlights:

Cutting the cake with a family heirloom sword, Unita Brewing Beers donated from Unita!, Their “Sanitize Then Sign” Guest Book Sign, Celebrating among a global pandemic.

Dancing on the Roof

This quarantine has presented a space for me to create: to have projects where there are no intensions of selling the product. This idea of creating just to create hasnt come up in my life in years. The hustle is real, and the drive is strong. This time reminded me to slow down, and get lost in a new artform. For me, that was video and editing.

I hope you take the next 2 minutes to just relax, ease your thoughts, and have a moment . . . while I share mine. Stay Safe + Sane, Friends. We’ll make it through.

“Tell me about your passions.
Tell me what makes you tick.
Tell me all the things you’ve discovered about yourself...
after all these years of searching.

Why do you do the things you do?
And how did you get to be such a beautiful creature?

So often we strive to be ordinary in life
Try to be normal.

But is there such thing as normal?

We all have different beliefs,
we all have different interests,
and we all have different dreams.

Why not embrace your differences to live your best life.

I will remain utterly obsessed with all things outside of the ordinary.
What society calls madness, I call being alive.

You can have your normality,

I’ll have an extra doss of strange happenings.
