John + Beri
Cats, Snakes + Eurovans
John + Beri’s Engagement Session in their quaint apartment was so romantic and intimate. Their pets even got involved
They're an amazing, honest, wholesome, and adventurous couple. They believe in vegan lifestyles, cruelty free products, and being the best versions of themselves that they can be. #yaaaaaaas One amazing detail I learned about these two, is that John bought Beri's ring with Bitcoin! Its a stunning vintage yellow stunner. A unique couple with an abundance of travel stories, advice on healthy living, and just two golden souls who are living their dream!
I cant wait for their outdoor wedding coming up this fall. Until then, check out their amazing in-home engagement session.
Jason + Carissa
We Went To A Dog Park
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.
Fernando + Caroline
Engaged and Eating BBQ
These two met forever ago. Isn't that the best start to a love story? Fernando was hanging out with Caroline's brother quite a bit, until she stopped him one day and said "When are you going to ask me out!?" :) I LOVE IT!
On their first date, she met his mother, and Fernando knew she had to become his girl. So right there, on the spot, at the Frisco BBQ Festival, he asked her to be his. Fast forward to the next year, in the same exact spot, he asked Caroline to be his girl FOREVER, and proposed to her. Its totally fitting that we did part of their engagement session at the BBQ Festival this year, and next year on the same weekend of the festival they'll be tying the knot not far away from the BBQ and beer. I love the tradition these two have created.
Their love story is super fun, and I cant wait to photograph their wedding next year. Cheers new friends!
Matt + Alli
A Sweet Engagement
Alli and Matt have been together for 2.5 years and they had the sweetest proposal: On their front porch after a night at dinner and the symphony. OMG RIGHT!? These two are so down to earth, fun and full of love.
Lookout Mountain was the perfect spot to capture their fun, sweet love for one another. Alli and Matt were so easy-going and it was such a joy to work with them. These two will be tieing the knot this winter at one of my favorite venues, and you bet your bottom dollar, I am so flippin' excited about it. Bring on the snow!
I truly couldn't be more excited for these two as they plan to commit to forever together.
Nick + Nikki
The Most Beautiful Engagement
Any one who makes up voices for their dog and talks for them - IS THE COOLEST HUMAN EVER. So on our drive out to the middle of no where, when Nick and Nikki (I know, I know, perfect name combo, huh?) talked for their doggie Aspen, I about lost it. I DO THAT ALL THE TIME! Glad I'm not the only one.
These two are so much fun with their constant laughter, jokes, up-for-anything-attitude, and most of all their love for each other. Its a sassy kind of love. The down to earth type that you know will be comforting in the rough times, but it's the everyday happy-go-lucky passion that will fuel their lives. I am so excited to capture their wedding day this winter.
“I have fallen in love with someone that shares my sense of humor. Nothing is better than looking over at the one you love and know they’re smiling for the exact same reason. ”
Quinn + Catie ENGAGED
A Destination Engagement in Colorado
These two are adorably sweet and absolutely stunning! They came all the way from Nebraska to the mountains of Colorado to capture their love for their engagement session. Yes!
They created a little vacation out of their trip, staying in cabins in Lyons, then up near Golden, enjoying dinner in Boulder and of course meeting me at the top of North Table Mountain Trail to get some photos during sunset.
I highly encourage couples to swish this idea around in their wedding planning. Some couples want a destination wedding, but costs can build up so quickly that it becomes too difficult. In that case, change the strategy and opt to have your engagement photos taken in your ideal destination! Colorado is that place for many people, and while I get to live here and enjoy the outdoors on a daily basis, I love to invite couples from out of state to let me show them a piece of my heart.
Let me show you the beauty that Colorado is. Let me witness your love in a new environment where it can only grow and surpass your dreams.
Cheers to Quinn and Catie on their engagement and upcoming wedding in Nebraska. I wish you the most beautiful wedding, and an even more beautiful marriage. Oh, and GBR!
At Home with Alex and Amber
An Intimate At Home Session
Alex and Amber have done things a little differently (HECK YES!). They're recently married, but never had a ceremony, huge dance party, or the hangover the next day. They instead, quietly and lovingly said their vows from the comfort of their own bed, and wanted an At Home session to capture this time in their lives. Just the two of them, and their adorable home. Then of course we stepped outside for a bit, because we do live in Colorado, and it's insane outdoors.
Amber and Alex have been on the move much of their relationship, so this space is finally one to call their own. A home to start their lives together. I can remember when Amber met Alex, and how she spoke of him with light in her eyes. She told me of how he was different, how they were different. I get it now after meeting Alex. Yes, these two are different. They speak frequently of the love they have for each other, wanting everyone to know the level of passion and respect they feel. Honestly, I left this session with tears in my eyes and a full heart. How the hell is this my JOB!? Jeze, I'm lucky.
It was seriously such a fun day & probably the cutest way to do an indoor engagement session. I definitely welcome more sessions like this in the future! Cheers to the newly weds. You two are some of my favorites.
