Six years ago I met Lisa and Jim at the start of their relationship and it was so wonderful to be there for another beginning as they made their commitment to each other official.

All eyes were on the skies as we got ready at Lionhead’s Ritz-Carlton Residences but this dark, drizzling afternoon didn’t dampen Lisa & Jim spirits even when we had to quickly move the ceremony indoors at Larkspur Restaurant in Vail, Colorado. Luckily, there were a few breaks in the weather and we were still able to wander the amazing grounds at Vail Mountain’s Golden Peak making beautiful portraits. Lisa was such a trooper, kicking off her bright red shoes and hiking up her stunning gown, so that we could get the best shots in the not so ideal conditions.

Brittany at Larkspur did a fabulous job keeping everything running smoothly despite the last minute adjustments and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Lisa’s dad gave his heartfelt toast. The entire wedding party was literally weeping and it was wonderful.

Thanks Lisa & Jim, it was an honor to photograph your very important day and I had so much fun doing it!
