CJ & Richie | Married

October 26, 2017 ·

A Glam Oak Hill Country Club Wedding | September 23rd, 2017

Joyful. Radiant. And so sweet. Three words to describe CJ and Richie on their gorgeous wedding day in Rochester, NY. They were the kind of people that make you smile the whole darn day and cry tears of joy as they say “I do”.

The entire day was spectacular. From all the meticulously thought out details to the ear-to-ear grins on all the guests’ faces- it truly was a dream. Not to mention, the weather was absolutely perfect. Not a cloud in the sky to rain on their parade. Just like the sun, their love beamed the entire day. So much love to be had on this day celebrating their story that began all the way back in high school. CJ shared with me that almost ten years ago to the day, they shared their first kiss at the homecoming dance- HOW CUTE. I’m so lucky to have been able to work with a couple as light hearted and joyful as this, and value the true meaning of love just as I do. Enjoy their fab Rochester, NY wedding!

Santana Family | Colorado Springs Family Session

October 22, 2017 ·

I challenge you to check out these family photos and NOT look at them with a smile. The Santana family was TOO flippin’ cute. Perfect color coordination, adorable kids, the most well-behaved puppy and a beautiful family on a warm fall day. This session was so much more than just a family session. It was Kristine and Alex’s wedding anniversary, and it was also in celebration of Alex’s return home from nine months deployed in Europe. Talk about happy moments! Their happiness was perfectly complimented by the warm golden sun and yellow aspen leaves as we laughed and got some adorable pictures. I hope you enjoy viewing this session as much as I did taking their photos!

Veronica & Jeremy | Colorado Themed Styled Wedding

September 6, 2017 ·

A Colorado-Themed Brewery-Hosted Styled Denver Wedding

Wow. What a fun day. One of my favorite things to do is to collaborate, and this was the perfect day for that. So many wonderful vendors coming together to put this gorgeous styled wedding together. And it was Colorado themed to top it off- red, yellow and blue everywhere. Jeremy and Veronica totally rocked it! I mean, we really had a lot of fun- as seen with all the laughs. PLUS, not only did I take some great pictures, but we got to drink beer while doing it AND share the absolutely delicious cake. Beer + cake + love + photos, what could be better?! Thanks to all the vendors (linked below) who helped put this on!

Kaja & Wyatt | Married

August 1, 2017 ·

July 4th, 2017
A gorgeous lakeside Bristol Harbour Wedding 

Writing these blog posts is always so difficult for me. Not because I don’t know what to say about these gorgeous weddings, but because it’s challenging to sum up an entire day in a few short paragraphs. To put it simply, Kaja & Wyatt’s day was absolutely spectacular. My goodness. Gorgeous flowers galore, AHHmazing views overlooking the lake, and most importantly, a madly-in-love laid-back couple who was so excited to get married. Perfection.

Julia & Mat | Engaged

August 1, 2017 ·

An early-morning Genesee Valley Park engagement session 

These two were my kind of people- warn me about being “awkward” in pictures, then are so in love that I don’t even need to pose them and they totally rock it! My goodness. I barely had to tell them what to do. I’ve photographed a lot of couples, but these two were instantly different. All I did was tell them to just enjoy each other’s company and show off the love, and guess what? They took it and ran! And it was so wonderful. They made it look so easy and and their interactions were beyond effortless. Now that’s the love I love- the kind that requires no additional thought and comes completely naturally. I love it! Mat and Julia met at the University of Rochester where they were both on the rowing team. They’d both been rowing since high school, so it was the perfect match (as you can so clearly tell). You’ll see them flash their fancy blades in a few of the pictures, and I’m sure it’ll make you smile.

Sarah & Rachel Taylor | Married

July 17, 2017 ·

June 3rd, 2017
A glamorous wedding in Downtown Rochester
___________________________________________________________________________________

It’s pretty fun to be able to attend weddings as both a guest AND a photographer. Being a photographer, with lots of friends and family of the getting-married age, I find myself playing this dual role often. It definitely has it’s perks and makes my job as a photographer even that much more fun. I’ve known Rachel for a long time, as her cousin will soon become my handsome husband, and was so thrilled when she and Sarah wanted me to photograph their big day. It truly couldn’t have been more perfect. The simplicity of their personalities was contrasted with the gorgeous flowers and venue they had arranged. It was a perfect mix of classy, yet simple with nothing to outshine the love they share for one another.

The Trip of a Lifetime | Colorado & Utah Roadtrip

June 1, 2017 ·

Since coming to Colorado last summer, I have completely fallen in love with all the beauty nature has to offer. I’ve become obsessed, in a way, with exploring, adventuring and seeing all that I can possibly see. It’s thrilling. It’s magical. And it’s quite addicting, actually. There’s just something about being engulfed in gorgeous landscapes that completely dwarf you in size. Plus, these gorgeous sights make for the most perfect photography subjects (they don’t even complain about smiling like someone I know….. Cameron). With a never ending urge to adventure,  I decided to take a week off from work at the end of May to take a 1000+ mile road trip with my mom…… and it was AMAZING. All we could say the entire week was, “WOW”. See for yourselves below. The pictures say it all!

Our plan for the trip was this:

Gollapalli Family | Garden of the Gods Family Portraits

May 9, 2017 ·

What an adorable family… I feel like I start out every blog post saying how adorable my clients are, but REALLY, I get to work with such adorable people. Anyways, this was a cute family session in Garden of the Gods right at the beginning of Spring. Phani had warned me that their one and a half year old was a crazy one and that she would most likely be completely uninterested in the pictures- boy was he right! Picking grass, running around, spinning, and throwing a ball was FAR more exciting than taking pictures. Despite her disinterest, we got some wonderful family photos and captured the Gollapalli family in purely candid moments. I can’t wait to work with this family again in the future!

How did I get to where I am today? | A Look into the ARP Story

April 28, 2017 ·

How did I get to where I am now?

This is a question I ask myself all the time. As I’m starting to put a lot more additional work into growing my business, I often sit back and ask myself, “how did I even get here”? Well– I started from scratch. As I suppose most people do. But I think what makes my story different is that I never had any intentions of starting a business, it just kind of happened. I’ve always liked photography, and enjoyed taking pictures, although it was never really an acknowledged skill or hobby. And before I even knew what bokeh (the blur behind the subject in focus) was, I LOVED it and would take pictures of random things around the house to get that effect.

Madison & Tom | Switchback Coffee Couple’s Mini Session

April 18, 2017 ·

Why are coffee shops so perfect for taking pictures?? Normally I take 95 percent of my pictures outside, but sometimes it’s fun to switch it up a bit and move things indoors. While my sister and her boyfriend were visiting me in Colorado, we stopped at Switchback Coffee to take some cute photos. Because what better mix can you have than tasty coffee and perfect indoor lighting?! They turned out so cute!! The bight light and neutral color palette inside was SO perfect. Not to mention the lattes we had were amazing! If you’re in Colorado Springs, be sure to check out Switchback Coffee– it’s wonderful. Another great one that’s opened recently and is super cute is Loyal Coffee downtown. Check that out too for a modern classy vibe of the traditional coffee shop.

 

Enjoy these two love bugs!
