Boulder Colorado Engagement/Wedding | Olyvia & JD

So, these photos look a lot more like an engagement session than a wedding but this is actually Olyvia & JD’s wedding day! The French-Canadians did a private quiet ceremony with just the two of them and then met me for a fun, informal photography session out at Chautauqua Park in front of the Flatirons, then over at Varsity Lake on the CU Boulder campus.

So much fun and so in love are these two, we had a blast working together! Félicitations Olyvia & JD! I hope you enjoy your time in the states.

Costa Rica Destination Wedding | Laura & Adrian

I couldn’t imagine a better way to end the year but with a destination wedding in Costa Rica! Costa Rican native, Adrian, never thought a tall, crimson haired, gringa from Wisconsin would steal his heart but fate brought him and Laura together in Peru while hiking the Inca trail to the sacred grounds of Machu Picchu. After a long distance courtship Laura & Adrian knew it was love and the bride to be left her cold, snowy home for the tropical paradise that is Costa Rica.

This December, an exuberant group of family and friends traveled to the small village of Manuel Antonio where they watched the overjoyed couple recite their vows as the sun set at the beautiful Hotel Costa Verde. The steamy night was full of flaming shots, Latin dancing, copious amounts of tequila and a surprise drum band that heightened the already raging party to a whole other level.

Thank you so much Laura & Adrian, it was an honor and privilege to be invited down to Costa Rica to help document your truly special day!

Wedding Photography Favorites from 2011 | Travel Tuesdays

I love being motivated and inspired by my peers so I look at other photographers’ work daily. It pushes me to be a better wedding photographer and keep up with what’s going on in the industry. However, I can’t help but sometimes feel overwhelmed by it. So often I find it refreshing to go back and just look at my own work. 2011 is a year I am really proud of. I worked with such diverse couples and got to photograph weddings all over the state of Colorado. Plus, I got to travel to Mexico and Iowa for destination weddings. Total bonus! I love, LOVE, destination weddings!

Throughout the years it has been great to see my progress as a photographer and reflect on how far I have come at developing a style uniquely my own. I will continue to seek out and admire other photographers to remind myself of ways I can continue to grow but also take a moment to exhale, trusting that I am on the right path. Here are some of my favorites from 2011.

Fort Collins Summer Wedding | Casi & Nick

Casi & Nick were married in Fort Collins in the backyard of the bride’s parent’s home. It was one of the hottest weekends of the year but despite the scorching heat the wedding was a total success and all of their hard work and planning came together perfectly. I loved the homemade quilts, sewn by the bride’s grandma, that covered the bails of hay which served as seating for guests during their ceremony, and the completely original and hilarious dance/song Casi’s brother and sister performed during the toasting. As the blazing sun finally set and the air cooled, guests kicked up their heels and swung each other around as an amazing local bluegrass band played long into the evening.

Thank you so much Patrick Kramer for your help again. The moments you captured during the ceremony are priceless.

Thanks also to Casi & Nick who once again made my job such a pleasure! Your joy and love was written all over your faces and it was such an honor to document.

From the bride…

“Kira was a pleasure to work with on our wedding day! She has a true talent at capturing authentic moments! We are thrilled with our photos and feel like we are reliving that incredible day just by looking at the photos!”

Boulder/ Niwot Wedding Photography | Colorado Weddings

World travelers Erin and Ben took a break from their wanderings to come back to Erin’s home in Niwot, Colorado for a backyard wedding. Her parents have a beautiful property just outside of Boulder which made for a perfect setting for this summer wedding. The day was full of fun and surprises which included three skydivers who carried American, Canadian and a combination of the two flags (Ben is from Canada) that landed right in the middle of cocktail hour. What a great event! Thanks so much to Calluna Events for keeping things running smoothly and my talented second shooter Patrick Kramer for all of his hard work.
