Colorado Engagement Session {Andrea + Ben}


Andrea + Ben met me on Saturday in Niwot for their engagement session. It was quite warm for a December day in Colorado! And, of course, sunny.... because it's always sunny here! (if you can't tell, I love where I live!). Andrea + Ben made my job really easy! They are always looking at each other with that cute little look and making each other laugh. After this session, I wanted to fast forward to June for their upcoming wedding! So excited for these two! Congrats on your engagement, Andrea + Ben!

Dreams Resort | Tulum, Mexico Wedding {Brooke + Mark}

Drum roll please..... This was one of the BEST weddings I have ever photographed, and for that matter, ever been to! 

 

Brooke + Mark did a "first look" before their ceremony and it brought tears to all of our eyes. If you're getting married and haven't heard of a "first look", please take a peek at these photos! They are to die for!!

Brooke + Mark had a gorgeous afternoon beach-side ceremony surrounded by 40 of their family and friends at Dreams Resort in Tulum, Mexico. Brooke's little sister, Casey sang as Brooke was escorted down the aisle by her father. (As if I hadn't already cried enough during the "first look"!!)



After the ceremony everyone enjoyed champagne and cocktails at El Patio, an open air palapa while we captured a few more sunset photos on the beach. 


Dinner was served at the Seaside Grill, another amazing open air building right on the edge of the sand! Traditional wedding cake was cut and served and accompanied by a traditional Mexican dessert. 


Once dinner and dessert was taken care of, the dancing began. And WOW, can these guys dance!! Mark even busted out a few break dancing moves and his whole family joined in with a Michigan tradition, called the Alligator dance!


My sister assisted me on this wedding and we had the time of our lives! We are so lucky to have met such a great group of people and truly felt like family by the end of the week! We wish Mark + Brooke a lifetime of happiness, health + laughter!! Congrats Mr. + Mrs. Cady!!
