Sarah + Sarah!!

These two amazing people got married last weekend at Stone Mountain Lodge in Lyons, Colorado, on the most beautiful fall day!

Sarah and Sarah met in physical therapy school, and their wedding was such a wonderful celebration of their relationship and all the people who love them.

There were so many special, personal touches throughout the day. One Sarah handmade their own wedding suit, a friend created all of the beautiful flowers, and their vows were so heartfelt. One of my favorite moments was hearing Sarah say to Sarah - “Wherever you’re going, that’s where I’m going too.”

What stood out to me most was just how much love and support surrounded these two. It was so evident in the way they looked at each other, the stories their friends and family shared, and how everyone celebrated them throughout the day.

It was such an honor to capture this beautiful day.

Julie and Luke’s engagement session in Boulder!

(Including Archie the dog of course)

These two met on Hinge three years ago, went on a coffee date, and the rest is history!

We had such a great evening for their engagement photos!

Some of the little moments, video clips, and selfies from weddings and elopements that live on my phone. Because I want to remember them too.

I really do have the best job. ❤️

Congrats to the grooms!!

Brandon and Iván threw a big wedding celebration at Kimpton Claret Hotel with all of their favorite people! And of course, their adorable Shiba Inu puppy - Rio - had to join in on the fun too.

This was such a blast! Everyone showed up ready to party with these two wonderful grooms, and it was so much fun to be a part of it!

Cecilia + Ulugbek

These two eloped a few years ago, and wanted to do photos together before their wedding celebration and vow renewal next year.

We had a beautiful evening in the mountains right outside of Boulder!

One of my goals for this year was to start incorporating film into weddings, and I’m doing it!

I’ve been bringing a film camera along and capturing a few moments throughout wedding days on film, and I’ve been having so much fun with it.

Starting in 2027, film photography will officially be available as an add-on for wedding and elopement coverage!

Reagan + Nathan!

Such a beautiful fall day for their elopement at Lake Isabelle!

Reagan and Nathan moved from Alabama to Colorado almost two years ago and have fallen in love with their new home, so they wanted their elopement to be a chance to share it with the people they love most.

Their family and friends traveled from Alabama, and everyone hiked five miles round trip into the mountains together for their intimate ceremony at the lake. And of course, their three dogs came along for the adventure too!

They exchanged private vows surrounded by the mountains, spent the afternoon exploring with their favorite people, and had the most beautiful Colorado fall day to celebrate.

Congrats to Reagan and Nathan!

Amanda + Vijay!!

Such a colorful summer day for their wedding in Boulder, Colorado! 

Amanda and Vijay started the day with an intimate ceremony at Slupik Mini Farm. Their ceremony brought together elements of both Jewish and Hindu traditions, including flower garlands and a chuppah.

Later, they changed into traditional Indian attire and continued the celebration with even more friends and family at Rosetta Hall in downtown Boulder.

I loved all the colorful details throughout their day, from the flowers grown at Slupik Mini Farm to Amanda’s henna and their beautiful Indian wedding attire. Most of all, I loved how much their day centered around bringing together the people they love and celebrating their new family.

Thinking back to Zana + Julia’s beautiful Colorado elopement last fall!

These two traveled all the way from Michigan for their first trip to Colorado and said their vows at this overlook in Boulder.

One of my favorite details about their story - they met in marching band! Zana played trumpet and was in drumline, and Julia played alto sax, and they’ve been together ever since. As a fellow former marching band person, I love this story.

So glad I got to be a part of their Colorado adventure!
