My very favorite part of this job is getting to be in the presence of radiant happiness. I’ve always been a little bit too empathetic…I absorb the feelings of those around me whether I want to or not. But on days like this one…days like Laura and Bill’s wedding day, the feeling of being in […]
We had the best day ever with Kiera and Lethon, during their gorgeous mountain elopement! Kiera was a true superwoman, completing her nursing finals and then jumping right into planning the details of her special day! I joked that I was truly safe with this amazing bride and groom, as they are both in the […]
Lisa and Brian were wedding guests at the Golden Horseshoe Inn waaaay back in 2014. Somewhere in the back of their minds, they tucked us away as a sweet spot to renew their vows when the time came to celebrate a milestone anniversary. And luckily for us, their beautiful 10 year anniversary vow renewal ceremony […]
One of the unexpected gifts of the current pandemic has been the gift of more time! I just love photographing engagement sessions, but my busy wedding schedule means they can be really hard to fit in. Which is why I had just the best time ever roaming through the mountains with Allison and Vince. A […]
Lizzy and Coburn’s beautiful wedding day was preceded by many twists and turns thanks to the pandemic. The large wedding they had lovingly planned turned into an intimate day for just the two of them and a few very close family members and loved ones. All those who are near and dear to Lizzy and […]
Maybe it’s because I’ve missed being with other people. Maybe it’s because we couldn’t have ordered up a more perfect summer afternoon if we had tried. Maybe it’s because small weddings are my favorite. But I think it’s mostly because we got to spend the day with some genuinely wonderful people. Daron and Paul are […]

Sarah and Christopher had big plans for their wedding day… a worldwide pandemic was definitely not part of those plans. So, with the current events sweeping our nation, this amazing couple had to get creative. Sarah and Christopher are one of our sweetest and most no-fuss couples of 2020. We loved the way they placed […]
Although it was not the day they had originally planned, it was the most magical day nonetheless! A beautiful bride, her handsome groom, their loving family and a day that ended with a “wedding parade”! Brides and Grooms and families are having to make such tough decisions right now about their wedding days. Kayla and […]
“I’m not sure which shoes I’ll wear”, Melody laughed as she juggled several pale blue shoe boxes that she pulled from her bag. “We were supposed to be married in Colorado, so I had my dress fitted with my hiking boots…”. There are so many moments like this lately…a strange mix of funny and serious, […]
On March 28th, Lauryn and David were supposed to be standing in a sandy tropical paradise in Jamaica, joined by their families and saying “I do”. But, plot twist… half way through March, the whole world was changed by a global pandemic. And so it was that April 18th found this incredibly sweet couple sharing […]
I always feel so sentimental about wedding photos – but these ones are especially getting me. Maybe it’s because they feel like the “last good day”…before everything changed and the world got turned upside down a little. Of course there will be lots more “good days”, but right now, I am so very thankful we […]
