When I was chatting with Dominique & Steve about what they would like to do for their engagement shoot they said they wanted something romantic and would love to be surrounded by fall colors. I live a mile away from Wonderland Lake here in Boulder and run around the lake almost daily. It was the perfect location and luckily the foliage cooperated as well. Dominique & Steve were really easy to photograph and very natural in front of the camera. A Wisconsin native, Dominique nixed Steve’s idea to wear giant cheese heads for the session but we still had a wonderful late afternoon shoot and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. I am even more excited to work with them again at their July wedding.

Sarah & Shawn
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.

Kristin & Steve
Kristin and Steve met in Aspen on a ski trip and ironically I met them on the slopes as well. Friends, of friends, of friends, we hit it off right away and I was really excited when they chose me to photograph their wedding. Rain almost foiled their plans for an outdoor wedding at the beautiful Phipps Tennis Pavilion in Denver but miraculously the rains let up just in time for their small outdoor ceremony and some quick portraits on the grounds. The fun-loving bride and groom rented the Bronco Bus to chauffeur them and their large bridal party around and the newlyweds flooded their guests with funny hats, feathered boas and silly sunglasses as they danced non-stop all night long at the Brown Palace. True love is letting your new husband use your leg like a guitar to rock out to Journey.

Stephanie & Will’s Engagement Session
Stephanie and Will’s wedding is right around the corner but I’m so glad we could squeeze in an engagement session before their big day on June 6th. I find these portrait sessions are a great way for clients to get to know me better and feel more at ease in front of my camera. They are also important because by the time their wedding rolls around we have become friends and I’m not just some lady they met once for a consultation at a coffee shop.
For this session we headed over to Chautauqua Park and Boulder Creek to make images in front of the stunning flatirons and along the rushing creek. Stephanie and Will were so much fun to work with. Their quirky, easy-going personalities mesh so well and they made the shoot so much fun for me. Will even convinced his beautiful bride to hop in the freezing creek, soaking her jeans, for a shot and to hang upside-down on a playground.
I am so excited for their wedding where we will be sure to get more fun photos in their adult size moon bounce.
