It’s no wonder why the Beaver Creek Wedding Chapel is such a sought after wedding venue in Colorado. Stepping onto the grounds can easily day-dream one into a European alpine setting. It’s stone facade sits quietly, yet majestically, tucked into layers of evergreens and aspens – and reaches out magnetically to almost every passer by. […]
Of all the types of weddings to photograph, I have to say I genuinely love photographing a classic wedding day. That is just what Elizabeth & Mike had planned for their downtown Austin wedding at the Driskill Hotel and Central Christian Church – two wedding venues that beam with distinguished ambience. Their ceremony was wrapped […]
Lindsey and Taylor recently invited me home to eastern Colorado to photograph their wedding day amongst family and friends in the tiny town of Calhan – where Lindsey was born and raised, as were her parents, and her grandparents. It felt as thought the entire town gathered in Lindsey’s parents’ backyard to see these two high […]
Texas Hill Country wedding venues can’t possibly get more unique than Star Hill Ranch. Imagine an old west movie set, complete with saloons, dance halls, charming cottages, and a wedding chapel that would make Martha Stewart swoon.

My camera has seen dozens of engagement sessions throughout Colorado and Texas this summer, so it’s always tough to pick ones to feature here. Sharing these stories during the peak of Colorado wedding season has been a challenge, too – definitely working on that one.
I think Jie (pronounced ‘jay’) and Ryan’s session grabs me immediately because of the vibrant colors and diversity we stumbled upon in Boulder. I guess it’s kinda hard not to stumble upon vibrance and abundance in a Boulder engagement session, but everywhere we ended up that day just seemed to fit perfectly for us. Bonus: Jie and Ryan are new to Colorado and had not explored Boulder yet, so it was a treat for me to show them some favorite spots. We danced (Jie with Ryan, me with my camera) to some live music on Pearl Street, checked out the Boulder Theater and soaked up the town a bit before heading to the Flatirons for a little hiking and picnic time. These two will be super happy as Coloradoans – I love their happy-go-lucky, adventurous spirits and they were so sweet and comfy together, I can hardly wait for their Chatfield Botanical Gardens wedding this fall.
Lots of Colorado wedding couples invite me to Boulder for their engagement photo scene and I love that it challenges me to see the area in a new way each time. Here are some favorites from what I saw with Jie and Ryan:
