Courtney & Jeff :: a Breckenridge Wedding

Two Saturday's ago I got to spend a beautiful summer day up in the mountains for Courtney and Jeff's lovely Breckenridge wedding at Main Street Station. Per usual, Colorado pulled through with some amazing weather and scenery.  There were so many things that I loved about this wedding - grass green bridesmaids dresses with matching flowers, peacock colored shoes, guys in matching peacock shirts, a reception by candlelight, a heartfelt song sung by the maid of honor over looking the mountains, a super fun party with friends and family...and of course a completely elated couple...dressed in the most stunning dress and very sharp three piece suit!

A small sample. Enjoy. xo.

America runs on Dunkin.

I know, bad joke. But when you give an east coaster a clear opportunity to reference Dunkin Donuts - she's gonna run with it. ;)

Another special day at Fort Carson and in the lives of many families - homecoming day! Today I was honored to capture Cpt. Richard Dunkin's reunion with his beautiful family....just wait until you see Abigail and Rich's son Ethan......you're heart will just melt.

Welcome home Rich! Thank you for your amazing sacrifice and service to our country.

welcome home.

I met Meghan and Evan's mom this morning at 8am in Colorado Springs for Evan's homecoming....and I still have chills.  Literally.  The Fort Carson visitor's center was busting at the seams with absolute joy, wrenching anticipation and more pride than you will ever see in one room. The cheers when they announced that the buses had entered the gates - amazing.  I had chills before anything even happened, when Meghan's friend was describing how the homecoming was going to go - especially when she did her super accurate rendition of the Toby Keith song they'd play as the soldiers walk in!

Meghan - thank you so much for having me there this morning to capture this moment. Evan - thank you for your courageous service to our country....and welcome home!!! You have a wonderful family and was happy to meet some of them today!

 Pretty sure Evan asked in this text if he could go to a bar tomorrow and watch the USA vs Mexico Game.... :)

 I overheard Evan say, "killer boots." He's right, they totally are!

 Evan's dad got held up at the airport and missed the events but finally made it to Fort Carson....
