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!

A Gorrono Ranch wedding gives you something pretty hard to manufacture: a setting that already has personality. Janelle and Dave wanted their August celebration to feel Western and elevated, pulling from Telluride’s summer landscape with soft yellow, white, and cream florals. Add black tuxedos, cowboy boots, sentimental family details, and eventually a shot ski, and […]

Rowan and Jake’s mountaintop wedding in Steamboat Springs felt very Colorado. Think bright blue skies, wildflowers, gondola rides, an entire mountain full of their favorite people, and two people who were more than ready to put their normally very driven lives on pause for a day. I actually met them before they ever inquired with […]

The first thing I noticed wasn’t the mountains. It wasn’t the river either. It was how absolutely comfortable everyone felt. Katie and Christian created the kind of wedding that reminds you what a celebration is actually supposed to feel like.

The mountains had absolutely no interest in being subtle this day. Ten Peaks Crested Butte showed off with sweeping alpine views, soft summer greens, dramatic skies, and one of those sunsets that makes photographers silently weep tears of joy. Gracie and David’s wedding felt like a gathering of people who genuinely couldn’t wait to celebrate […]

The text that popped up on my phone asking if I’d photograph a Cabo San Lucas wedding wasn’t just another inquiry. It was from someone who had slowly become a real friend over the years. Misty and I first connected on social media while she was building her wedding-planning business in Grand Junction, Colorado. Before […]

It’s not every day that I’m contacted before a proposal even happens, but that’s exactly how this story begins. LaRose and Scott’s Vail Chapel wedding had one of the sweetest, most unexpected lead-ups. The groom’s mom reached out to me ahead of the big moment, already thinking steps ahead. Unfortunately, I wasn’t available to photograph […]
