An adventure that involved my best girl Chloe and my truck!!! And my husband, sister-in-law, fresh air, mountain views, and bluebird skies! And my first adventure on our family raft, which we’ve owned since at least 2012, if not 2011. Yay!

It’s been a busy summer full of Colorado wedding photography! From mountain weddings to Front Range weddings, I have been on the go. That, and add on pet photography sessions, caring for my little toddler, and having visitors and being a visitor, has caused summer to just fly on by. As I work on my latest wedding, I wanted to take a break to share some recent photos with you. Enjoy these images of the amazing couples I am honored and lucky to be a part of their wedding day.

Back on an absolutely perfect weather day in January, Jessica and Karl were married at Longmont’s Faith Baptist Church. Their ceremony was beautiful, and the reception area was transformed by amazing details that the bride and family put together–rustic tree trunks with bird cages, elegant candles, a lovely message on the chalkboard. (If I ever need design inspiration for a party, Jessica knows how to pull together a tasteful theme, that’s for sure.) These details pulled together by the couple’s loved ones made for one of the more meaningful send offs into a new marriage that I have witnessed. I too wish Jessica and Karl and happy and wonderful marriage.

My favorite family portrait session location is one where the kids can play and be themselves. In this session, I headed to my clients’ home to capture the boys playing and to get some more traditional portraits.
