Such a difficult task, choosing my favorite wedding images from 2011. So many wonderful couples, so many wonderful moments, so many wonderful memories. Thanks to everyone for making it such a successful year.

I met Lauren & Galen at their home away from home, Chautauqua Park, for their engagement session. The happy couple are part of the local search and rescue team and are also avid climbers and frequently scale up the flatirons for some breathtaking views. We had a wonderful time hiking around the trails making images and I am really looking forward to their August wedding!
Sarah & Shawn got married at the beautiful Queen of Peace Church in Aurora where Shawn and his family have been longtime members. Sarah was a wonderfully calm bride but was so full of emotion she burst into tears at the sound of Shawn’s voice when called her before the ceremony. Shawn’s 9-year-old son, Keegan, was the best man and stood at his father’s side with a proud smile firmly planted on his face. Tears streamed down Sarah’s face as she recited her vows and Shawn couldn’t stop stealing kisses from his beautiful bride in the limo ride to Boulder’s Chautauqua Dining hall where they hosted their reception. It was an unusually warm September day, the light following the reception was perfect, and we scrambled over to the flatirons to make beautifully, romantic portraits among the hills and tall, golden grass.
