Kayla & Cameron - Denver Engagement

You might remember when my sister got engaged last December ... If you don't, you can read about and see her engagement here. Well, we got around to taking their engagement photos in June, and since we FINALLY got their Save the Dates sent out this week, I can finally post their gorgeous pictures!  Their pictures turned out just darling, but I am a little bias. :)

Here are some of my favorites from that beautiful June day!

Even though we didn't end up using these for the Save the Dates, we took a handful of "Save-the-Date" pictures that I thought turned out cute so I just had to share!

Here is Kayla and Cameron with their cute pups.

Isn't my nephew so dang cute?

Kristin & Allen - A Beautiful Downtown Denver Wedding - First Baptist Church of Denver & The Tivoli

Words cannot even begin to describe how beautiful and perfect this wedding was!  I am so happy for Kristin and Allen, and I am so thankful that I got to be apart of this blessed day!  Capturing your wedding day was so much fun, and the love you both have for each other is contagious!  I think we can all agree that this was one GIANT celebration!  

Here are the beautiful and handsome bride and groom!  Kristin's gorgeous dress was from BHLDN and designed by Catherine Deanne.  So stunning!  Ladybird Poppy did all of the floral, and these bouquets were to die for!  They did such an incredible job!

The ceremony took place at the First Baptist Church of Denver ... a stunning church in the heart of Denver right across from the State Capital building!

Kristin and Allen have a LOT of people that love them!  They had such a fabulous wedding party, and tons of family and friends that came from all over to celebrate with them!

The reception was in the Turnhalle ballroom at The Tivoli.  It was gorgeous to say the least!  All of the food was catered by Relish Catering, and it was delicious!  They had ice-cream and cupcakes instead of cake ... so fun!!

The dancing and celebrating could have gone on all night ... everyone had such a fabulous time!

Congratulations to Kristin and Allen!  I wish you all the best in the years to come and forever after ... Thank you for having me capture your perfect day!

Ellen & Robert's Wedding - The Sanctuary

Ellen and I lived right next door to each other when we were little, and we grew up being great friends so when she contacted me about photographing her wedding I couldn't have been more happy!  It was so much fun to get to be apart of her special day!  Ellen and Robert's wedding was PERFECT in every way. They got married at The Sanctuary golf course in Castle Pines, which is an absolutely beautiful venue!  It had been a gloomy morning, and it poured down rain while Ellen and Robert were getting ready for the ceremony.  BUT, right before the ceremony started, the rain cleared up, and it ended up being a bright, sunny gorgeous afternoon!  Ellen and Robert met in college at the Colorado School of Mines and they are perfect for each other!  I knew that we would all get along great when they invited me over for pizza to go over all of the last minute details before the wedding!  They were both SO easy to work with and they were so laid back and relaxed about the whole thing.  Ellen was probably the calmest bride I've ever photographed ... nothing could have happened that would have stressed this bride out!  

The wedding was PERFECT (did I already mention that?!) down to the very last detail.  Look at how stunning all of these details were!

Everybody was so relaxed while getting ready.  The bride and her bridesmaids took their time, chatted, and munched on chips and salsa and quesadillas while sipping on some wine.  The groom and his groomsmen had to get cleaned up after spending the morning skeet shooting.

Here is the handsome groom and beautiful bride all ready for the celebration to get started!  Don't they both look so good?!  Ellen wore her mom's wedding dress ... isn't it beautiful?

The ceremony was both elegant and romantic...

It was so obvious that both Ellen and Robert had GREAT people standing by their sides on this special day ... they are SO loved!

I just can't get enough of this bride and groom ... simply stunning!

The reception was filled with great speeches, an amazing dinner, a delicious cake, and lots of dancing! The perfect end to a perfect day of celebrating!

Thank you to the Verkler and Wright family for having me!  I am blessed to have been the one to photograph this amazing day!

Michael & Erin - Engagement - Cheeseman Park

Say hello to the soon to be Mr. & Mrs. Clayton!  Congrats to Michael and Erin who got engaged this holiday season!  Michael and Erin met in college at Western State and they are getting married this July on top of the Red Lady ski lift on Mt. Crested Butte.  I am so excited and honored to be the one who gets to capture so many memories for this couple!  Even on a freezing cold, snowy day, it warms your heart to be around two people who are so obviously in love and perfect for each other!  Thank you Erin and Michael for braving the 12 degree weather with me ... I hope your fingers have finally warmed up!

Congratulations to Chad & Cortney!

Well this post is a little late, but better late than never, right?  As I lay around after just getting my tonsils removed, I am finally finding some time to catch up on my blog posts!  I have a lot to catch up on including my fun Holiday mini sessions that happened a few weeks ago as well as some fun adventures I have been on recently, which I will blog about come later today or sometime this week so be sure to check back later! Anyways, in the beginning of November, Brandon and I went to California to celebrate his grandparents 65th anniversary!  How awesome is that?!  While we were there, Brandon's cousin, Chad, and cousin in-law, Cortney, announced that they were pregnant with their first baby, and asked if I would take a few pictures of them for their announcement.  The photos turned out super cute, and the announcement turned out even more cute!  After a lot of communication, editing, and revising, Cortney and I finally finished the movie poster announcement that you see below.  Super cute, right?!  Congratulations to Chad and Cortney ... I am so, so happy for you!  Thank you so much for letting me be apart of all this!

And here is the fun movie poster announcement we created!  I especially love how the puppies were included in it :)  So cute!

Amy & Andrew

A couple of weeks ago I was blessed to photograph this beautiful, beautiful couple!  Amy and Andrew got married in September, and decided to have an after-the-wedding shoot because they did not schedule a lot of time on their wedding day to take photos of just the two of them.  They wanted to have a fun shoot in a relaxed environment where they weren't rushed and things weren't chaotic ... like they always are on wedding days ...  And what a great excuse to put that beautiful wedding dress on again!  We decided to wait until the leaves were changing, and I am so glad we did because I could not have asked for a more beautiful setting.  We were worried that we might have to reschedule because of the rainy/snowy weather that was expected, but the weather held out, and the afternoon was perfect for a photo shoot!  Amy and Andrew were so fun to photograph ... they are naturals in front of the camera (obviously) and their incredible love for each other was so eminent that it beams in every photo we took.  Thank you Amy and Andrew for such a fun, gorgeous shoot!
