Brown Palace Denver Wedding {Holly + James}

When I first saw the itinerary for this Halloween wedding at The Brown Palace in Denver I thought there was a mistake. There was an hour before and 2 hours(!!) after the ceremony for photos. After checking with Angie from Sapphire Celebrations I not only learned that it was not a typo but we also had a limo to escort us around Denver for sunset photos! Seriously?!? I LOVE THIS COUPLE!! Holly + James had a fabulous wedding yesterday! Every detail was carefully planned out and executed but the amazingly talented Angie Johnston of Sapphire Celebrations. The hair and makeup was perfectly created (there were even finger curls!!) by Leslie Arts! The flowers were arranged in house by The Brown Palace Flower Shoppe, as well as the cake by The Brown Palace! Limo services were provided by Sunset Limousine Worldwide. The guests were even encouraged to change into costume for the reception! ... It doesn't get much cooler than that! SUCH a fun wedding! Congrats Holly + James -- you are ah.ma.zing!

Holly + James met me Friday morning for their engagement session at Chautauqua Park in South Boulder. It was an extrememly windy day but these two didn't seem to mind.

Vermont Anniversary Photography {Lauren + James}

This was my last session in Vermont last weekend before flying back to Colorado and what a great way to go out!! We had a gorgeous (although chilly) waterfront sunset! I used to work with Lauren + James in Burlington, Vermont back in the day. When they signed up for my Vermont photo session I was more than thrilled!! These two are not only adorable but really, really great in front of the camera! This was such a fun session! Happy 1 year anniversary to these little love birds :)

Rocky Mountain Colorado Wedding {Kate + Garrett}

Kate + Garrett had me at hello. Garrett is really into photography and Kate is really into movies. They themed their wedding around the cinema with popcorn bucket centerpieces filled with candy!! (Garrett actually popped the question one night while they were watching a movie, he pulled the ring out from the popcorn bucket they were snacking on.) I really, really enjoy working with this couple and look forward to photographing them in the future!

Steamboat Springs Ski Resort {Hadley & Stacey's Wedding}

If I could use only one word to describe Stacey and Hadley it would be "complementary". They are perfectly suited for each other. And their ceremony at the top of the gondola at Steamboat Springs Resort was perfectly suited for them, too! The view and sunset were unbelievable.... Take a look at their Slideshow!
