Keep scrolling to see all about this super fun surprise proposal at Winter Park, Colorado! These two have been […]

The forecast for the day of Mira and Ed’s Santa Fe mountain engagement session looked grim—like, dead-of-winter-in-Seattle grim, which is enough to make most New Mexicans hide in bed all day—but these two were entirely unfazed. They told me that there is something rather special to them about the rain. The day they got engaged […]

When I found out we would be moving and I’d be relocating this wedding photography business to Colorado Springs, I knew right away that Garden of the Gods would become one of my favorite go-to locations. I have barely scratched the surface in exploring this massive and gorgeous park, but in just a couple of […]

Ashley and Dan first met six years ago at the Sasquatch Music Festival at the Columbia River Gorge. As fate would have it, although neither of them were living in Washington at the time, they were both living in the same city in Nevada. What a small world, right?

Anya and David met in their hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, during a summer break from college. Their first date involved pizza and snow cones, and they hit it off so well that by the end of the summer, they knew they would probably get married someday.

Mary and Gabe met the first weekend of college back on the east coast. In fact, they met at a party that ultimately got busted. When she told me this I was just so tickled.
