I’ve been so excited to share highlights from Kelly & Peter’s elegant November wedding at the Sanctuary Golf Course. Kelly was absolutely radiant, such a stunning bride.  And Peter looked dashing in his military dress blues.  I love how they light up around each other -  and their story is so romantic.. fates aligned to bring them together, meeting initially in Egypt, and then again in Washington DC. It was such a joy to be a part of capturing their day and I am so grateful. Huge thanks to CC from Colorado Wedding Company for introducing us. A few favorites..

some of the incredible details

And a story. Because I’m still in awe at this small world we live in.

Lila’s mom is Erika, the owner, baker, and mastermind behind the delectable bakery in the Highlands called Living the Sweet Life. Erika and I met for the first time this summer when we happened to be working together at Lauren & Rian’s Chatfield Botanic Gardens wedding.

And this is where the ‘small world’ comes in..

Because when she introduced herself, Erika told me about her man JP – the same JP who happens to be a long lost dear friend of mine from days of yore, back from those years spent gallivanting around the globe. I met JP while living and working in Switzerland, in the tiny alpine village of Crans-Montana, where I worked for 8(!) summers (JP was there for two of them) It is a place that is so important to me, and the friendships formed during those years hold a special place in my heart. So to be able to reconnect in this circuitous manner is incredible. I’m still in awe. And honored to have the opportunity to photograph their newborn baby girl.

A few of my favorites from our session..

My warmest congratulations to this sweet family. Living the sweet sweet life. ♥

I’ve got the most amazing clients – I know I say that all the time, but only because it’s true :) And working with Katy & Aaron has been an absolute dream. They are such wonderful people – sweet and fun, natural and down-to-earth. They love to travel, and they love the outdoors. Their wedding day at Keystone Ranch was a perfect reflection of them – heartfelt and emotional, and full of love and warmth.  A few favorites..

Torie & Matt tied the knot on a gorgeous September day during an emotional and heartfelt wedding ceremony at Keystone Ranch. It was a day surrounded by family and friends, full of love  and joy and infectious laughter. Simply perfect. Everything about this day was dreamy – from the incredible couple (so down-to-earth and fun to work with) to the spectacular Colorado mountain backdrop (ah-mazing views) to the vintage elements incorporated in to the wedding decor (burlap accents and cobalt blue, vintage suitcases and birdcages – ♥). It was an incredible event, coordinated to perfection by Josh at Bella Design and Planning, and such an honor to be a part of. A few faves..

One of my favorite parts of the day is the getting ready preparations – moments full of anticipation and excitement.. here are a few sweet moment between Torie and her momgorgeous vibrant Colorado mountain wedding details groomsmen puddle reflection and the perfect Colorado bluebird sky with the bride and groom in silhouette♥ love ♥
