The smaller the better in my books. Melissa and Luke had a tiny Pikes Peak mountain elopement at the summit of Colorado Springs’ highest peak, and although little, it was not lacking in love. The love these two share is amazing and it’s so exciting when out of town couples come to this gorgeous state to get married. I had so much fun riding up the Pikes Peak highway riding shotgun with Melissa, her dad, and niece. I felt like I was part of their family by the time we reached the top! The whole way up, the skies were dark and there were sprinkles threatening a storm up up. But as soon as the ceremony started and Melissa walked down to Luke, the sun broke through the clouds and shined bright on the two of them as they said their vows together. It really couldn’t have been more perfect.
Intimate YMCA Overlook Chapel Wedding | Julie & Stephen
Tell me you value photography and I’ll love you forever. During our back and forth conversations before Julie booked their wedding with me, she mentioned that despite not having a large wedding budget, they valued photography and wanted to hire an amazing photographer to capture their intimate YMCA Overlook Chapel wedding. I may have blushed a little when she told me that. Photography on your wedding day is so important, and I LOVE that these two valued it so much.
Abby & Trent | Steamboat Springs Wedding
A snowy Steamboat Springs wedding at Bella Vista Estate | November 11th, 2017
My two very favorite people GOT MARRIED. And it was absolutely spectacular. Trent and Abby are my cousins. Well, Abby is Cam’s cousin, so by logic, that makes both of them MY cousins, too! I’m so very thankful to have such great friends as these, and have them so close to us in Colorado. This was a special wedding to photograph, not only because it was gorgeous, but because these two make such a gorgeous pair. They rented an estate in Steamboat Springs and invited their closest family and friends to spend a long weekend there celebrating their love. We had lots of good food, great drinks, and a wonderful time. Oh, and one of the best parts about this wedding, THE DOGS WERE IN IT TOO. They were SO flippin’ handsome with their bowties, and you’ll see below, that Boone wanted to be a part of the festivities so many times. In all, a gorgeous weekend at a gorgeous venue with a gorgeous husband and wife pair. I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures as much as I do. You’re bound to smile!
