Dani and Kendall opted for a fly fishing engagement session at Vail Pass in Vail, Colorado. How freaking cool is that!? These are two of the sweetest ladies I’ve met. After our first intro call, I was SO excited that they had chosen to work with me for their 2023 Crested Butte wedding.
Dani and Kendall planned a trip out to Colorado for a Red Rocks concert this September. We decided to kill two birds with one stone and fit their engagement session in while they were out here. Fly fishing is something that they love doing together. It’s especially close to Kendall’s heart as that is one thing her Grandfather loved to do. I told them we should absolutely try to find a place where we could get them out on the water.
We headed up to Vail Pass and romped around in a gorgeous meadow that overlooks several different mountain ranges before heading to an alpine lake. These two did a quick change from their adorable sundresses straight into their fly fishing gear. They cracked open some Coors Lights and walked down to Black Lakes. I had such a fun time capturing their bond over fly fishing and the seeing the love they have for one another. The sweetest part? Dani was wearing Kendall’s Grandfathers vest and Kendall used his rod.
Being able to capture this session was so unique and meaningful. I can’t wait to shoot their 2023 wedding as they tie the knot!

Emma and Zack’s Flying Diamond Ranch wedding was one of those days that felt like magic. Tucked in the aspen-covered hills of Steamboat Springs, this day had it all: a jaw-droppingly beautiful setting, a design that perfectly blended retro charm with mountain luxe, and a dance floor that doubled as a concert stage. We first […]

Some moments take your breath away, especially when photographing a surprise Vail Mountain proposal at 10,000 feet. When Jon first reached out, his words immediately stood out: “Paige is the most incredible human being I have laid my eyes on.” They had been dating for just over a year, and he was planning a trip […]
There’s a certain magic to wedding photography—not just in the moments it captures, but in how it captures them. In an age where couples are curating intentional, artful wedding experiences, one question pops up more than ever: Should we choose film or digital photography? Or better yet, can we have both? As a wedding photographer […]
