destination wedding

shawn + katelynn

I've known these two since high school, so capturing their wedding day was effortless and personal. I love the modern vibe that the art gallery provided. Katelynn said " It was a really heartwarming feeling to see so many of our friends and family come together to make our wedding day perfect. It was at an art gallery that I've shown at, and we have spent endless hours installing my work there. I loved the days leading up to the wedding having everyone sleeping at our house, going to one of our usual restaurants for dinner and drinks on the patio, anxiously getting things ready the day of... it was wonderful and I wouldn't have had it any other way."

Their ceremony was so authentic and true to their characters that I had to shoot through tears.  Here's some snippets of their vows, just to share some feels.

"Shawn, every day with you is like getting a hug and a high five. You're my best friend, my biggest fan, my rock, and my heart. I promise to support you as you have supported me, to allow us to grow independently while weaving ourselves together. I promise to love you unconditionally, as you have loved me."

"Katelynn, you are truly the perfect partner for me to spend my life with, you are the reason that I strive to improve myself daily, be it on a personal level or on a professional level, you have helped me become a better, stronger, and more ambitious person and I am incredibly thankful that you have chosen me as the person you will spend the rest of your life with. I promise to do all that I can to ensure that I see you smile every day, whether we be together or apart."

ashley + kevin

This intimate wedding cradled in the Rockies was a dream. A mountain wedding has been on my bucket list for a few years, so when Ashley inquired I was giddy. Through the whole planning process it just got more and more perfect. From the carriage ride to their priorities being scenic couple portraits, we were a perfect fit. Ashley and Kevin and their families were so gracious and welcoming. We really felt like we were part of this day in such a beautiful way. My husband, Tyler, second shot for me so about half of these shots are his! He really got into it due to the gorgeous scenery. So many good things from this wedding!
