Destination Wedding Photography
Beyond the overwhelming kindness of Rahma & Arsi’s Family, I was showered with rich colors, smiling faces, tons of dancing, and a wonderful little first look at Treaty Oak Park. Someone even got engaged right next to us as we did the first look! This two day affair was a lovely cultural experience that I absolutely loved photographing. Congratulations to a beautiful couple!
Enjoy!

This incredibly windy but incredibly loving day was one of my favorite sunsets at Casa Marina Hotel. Kelsey & Blake picked a beautiful November day to get married beach side in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. With soft pastel pinks, navy’s and creamy whites they accented Casa Marina’s Historic Beauty and created an adorable wedding by the ocean. Check out their perfect sunset wedding below….Enjoy!

Just the most perfect of Saturday Mornings. Felt just like a fairy tale as I walked up to the cute St.Augustine Bungalow she and her bridesmaids were sipping champagne and getting ready at. Blue skies, birds chirping, and a lovely group of people to spend the day with.
Besides the beautiful day, there were so many smiles and laughs that it was hard to narrow down my favorites. Check out some of their best below. Enjoy!

Anniversary
2015. It may be in month 2 of 2016, but you still haunt me. If you own your own business you know the year doesn’t really end on December 31st. There are mountains of things to do in order to close out the year and it always seeps into the months following the champagne filled New Years Eve party you went to. In comes my blog post…my end of 2015 is officially here with the closing of my books and editing my last session which happened to be on the last day of the year. I put together a collage last year and photo timeline and people seemed to have a good laugh so I decided to give it another go around.
2015 was filled with 36 weddings, 55 photo booths and 50 portraits sessions all taking place in Florida, Colorado, Washington, Virginia, Ireland, and Scotland. We hit our 5th year in business and 160th wedding. And to be honest we had one of the best years since we started in 2010. Although…2016 is already proven to be a heavy contestant for “Best Year”, but I will leave that to next years post. For now, check out my photo captioned year below.
Enjoy and Thanks to all my clients from 2015 that made this such a magical and wonderful year!

We began the year in cold Colorado bundled up with this guy…
Then we decided to rent a camper van…
And head to Ireland…
To photograph these two…
We Danced a lot…
And had some of this…
And this…
And then did this…
Then we came back to the states and photographed these guys at a candy factory…
Was it a boy?
A Girl?
It was a boy. Here he is…
We also danced in the woods…
And went on a boat ride…
And hung out cliffside…
And at the beach…
And by the river…
We also had a bunch of smiles….
A lot of lovely couples got married…
But some people were over it…
And the Rain…
And the sunshine…
As well as the cake eaters…
The “Glowing Bride Award” was created …
And also the “Best Bridesmaid Award”…
Hands became a new photographic obsession…
And now it’s on to 2016…
Anniversary
I cannot put a solid number together for how many shoots I have done of these two. Between their wedding, Braden on his Dirtbike, Courtney surfing in her wedding dress, Family Sessions with their dogs, Christmas Day…we have just had a lot of fun memories and photos to prove it. So naturally, when I needed a couple to pose for a styled session, I asked the Burton’s. And although it began as a styled shoot with a few Colorado Vendors, it turned into a bit of a vow renewal. Even if that Vow Renewal included Courtney promising not to eat Braden’s French Fries and Braden vowing to order more so she can. Happy I met you two years ago because life is always a little more fun when you guys are around.
Enjoy!

This shoot easily makes my top three favorite shoots from 2015. This Colorful fall wedding reception was put together by some of the best vendors in the west elk mountains. We decided to incorporate vibrant pops of color to enhance the wooded scene we photographed in. We created a natural wood table with accents of vintage silverware and plates from the antique shops in Gunnison Valley. The bouquet and dress were adorned with hand dyed velvet and flowers from Paonia, a gorgeous town 1 hour from Crested Butte. Our cake was hand painted and designed to add a bit of glam to this Bohemian shoot. Wooden pieces were also hand burned and painted to accentuate the natural look of this stunning scene. With just a dash of snow the night before, and a secluded river only footsteps away, we could not have asked for a better fairytale setting than this. Take a look yourself….Enjoy!

I’ve always thought the best way to throw a wedding is to rent a house and party all night! Kaylie & Jason had the same idea and you can see the beauty of their St.Augustine Fall Wedding in the lovely photo below. Enjoy!
Florida
There are several thing about weddings I love. Everyone is always dressed in their best, in great moods, their are always fresh flowers and delicious cake. Tons of dancing and maybe some drinking. It’s wonderful. Who wouldn’t love all of these things? What I loved the most from this wedding was not any of the above things. But the love between Marla and Mike. Incredibly moving how so in love these two are. Mike kept his eyes on one thing, one person all night no matter what. Marla. He even extended his vows and gave a speech at their reception to let her know one more time how happy and lucky he is to have her in his life. It was honestly so beautiful. Check out their wonderful love below.
Enjoy!
