kelsey + jason :: a wyoming ranch wedding to love for.

There's something about Wyoming that gets me everytime. Maybe the forever open space with mountainscape backdrop. Maybe the mysterious antique barns and juxtuposing booming farm life. Or, maybe it's the opportunity to buy Christmas decorations, elk jerky, deisel and one-piece pj's with accompanying backside flap at the same shop........

For certain, one thing that captures my heart and the attention of my lens in Wyoming is ranch side nuptuals of a beautiful couple on a warm autumn day. swoon.

Kelsey & Jason's Big Creek Ranch wedding is up on the blog this week. I am super duper excited to share some of my favorites from their glorious day. From the equestrian western theme bridal house to the Pinterest inspired details [wait for it...] to the willingness of the happy couple to go swerving down a dirt road in my truck to get the perfect portrait spots, to the kickin' party under the stars, I had a blast capturing every moment.

XO to Kelsey & Jason for inviting us to your wedding and letting us share in the fun! Enjoy.

Nicole + Andrew :: Kountze Park, CO Engagements

Early to mid summer in Colorado inevitably brings late afternoon thunderstorms. This in turn usually means i'll have a couple of shoots to reschedule during these months. But, because I have such stellar clients...[really, you're the best!]...rescheduling a shoot once in a while due to an impending little black rain cloud is never a problem.

Nicole and Andrew were one sweet couple who I worked with to make sure we had optimal shooting conditions for their engagement shoot at Kountze Park in Lakewood, CO.  We were able to just barely avoid the storms for a second attempt at a shoot at this lovely location that boasts several different scenes within just a mile and half trail around a small lake. Along our walk through fields, bridges, ponds, weeping willows and tall grass I was able to snap away and get to know this adorable couple who's wedding I will be shooting in November. [See also: Importance of an engagement shoot - I get to know your style, your tone, your likes, dislikes and which side you think is your best. I for sure have a side I'd rather have photographed. My left side has a better bang/forehead ratio, as an example]. And because Colorado rarely disappoints, it awarded us with a rainbow against the quickly descending dark and stormy sky we'd been eyeing throughout our shoot. Perfection.

Nicole and Andrew - you are adorable and so fun to work with. So excited for your wedding!

Here are some favs. Enjoy.





















Stick around. Stay tuned. xo.
