I had the absolute pleasure to photograph Lindsey & Chris’ destination wedding in Costa Rica this winter. There were so many amazing, beautiful moments over the two days I spent documenting their destination wedding I decided to break up my blog posts into two days. Day 1 was spent on a fantastic sailing trip that set sail from Playa Conchal and took a group of about 30 people to a quiet cove for swimming, snorkeling, snacks and, of coarse, tropical libations.
Krista & Wil were blessed with a beautiful snowstorm during their Boulder Colorado winter wedding. The adventurous couple braved the fridged temperatures for some snowy portraits before they recited some of the most eloquently written personal vows I have ever heard at the Wedgwood Banquet Hall. They were surrounded by friends and family equally as warm and welcoming as they are and danced, drank and celebrated the New Year, and the start of their lives together, long in to the evening.
Thank you Krista & Wil for starting off my 2015 season so wonderfully!
Their testament:
“We wanted a photographer who would capture the love and the joy and the ridiculous amount of fun at our wedding, and Kira did that for us. She is in all of the right places at the right time – silently capturing all of the happy, tearful, loud, and quiet moments from the entire day. Kira is truly an exceptional talent. Her photographs are sincere, beautiful, and vibrant; we will cherish them for a long time to come. “

I finished off a fabulous 2014 with a sweet, simple, tiny Colorado Mountain Wedding. Hannah & Bryse live and work in Cambodia but came back to the states to share the exchanging of their vows with only their immediate family. Bryse’s parents have a beautiful mountain home in Eagle, Colorado which made a perfect setting for this winter wedding and I simply loved the tradition Korean wedding dress Hannah wore against the muted, snowy backdrop. Hannah & Bryse had the fastest ceremony I’ve ever had the pleasure of documenting (only 6 minutes!) then a lovely lunch of meat pie made from Bryse’s grandmother’s famous recipe.
Alyssa and Brett’s Boulder, Colorado engagement photos were so much fun to make! We started in downtown Boulder where I photographed them zipping around on their red Vespa and then wandering around Pearl Street. Then we headed up to Chautauqua Park for a more rustic setting hiking through all of the tall, golden grass as the sun set on this fabulous fall engagement session. Best of luck to the two of you!
Leslie & Andrew have been my very good friends for many years. I photographed their engagement session, wedding in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado and now I have had the absolute pleasure of photographing their new baby, Archer. These photos are from the very first hours he joined the world up until about a month old. I love his tiny fingers and how he watches his daddy so intently. I loved watching Leslie, exhausted in her hospital bed, beam and glow as she traced her fingers along his face learning all of his beautiful features. I can’t wait to see him grow and change and watch his wonderful parents guide, support and love him along his journey.
