The Most Magical Day A bride who was as sweet and kind on the inside as she was beautiful on the outside.  A flower girl in a princess dress and matching cape.  A wonderful and patient groom.  A roaring fire in the hearth and a joyful celebration in the parlor.  This was just the best […]

Preparing the Golden Horseshoe Inn for an elopement day in the autumn is one of my favorite things!  I love the everyday tasks, like lighting the fire so the fireplace sparkles with a warm glow when the couple first crosses our threshold.  Turning on the lights in the dressing suites, and giving everything a final […]

Brooke and Dustin choose my favorite weekend of the year for their wedding day – the first weekend in November!  I just love the quiet calm of November, and there is always still beautiful color adorning the mountains – a last hurrah courtesy of Mother Nature, before it all blows away in the November winds.  […]

Sometimes I wonder why I spend so much time on wedding detail shots…why do I love them so much?  Every hour and moment of a wedding day seems to tick by so fast, and I wonder if I’m using my time wisely.  But after yesterday’s very special wedding, I came to some clarity on this […]
