We started off our 13 hour day at The ART Hotel for some wedding prep, just a short walk from the museum. Once Alex was in her dress, we made our way to the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center to meet up with Adam for their first look. Immediately after seeing each other for the first time, the tears began to flow. This wasn’t the first or the last tear Alex would shed on her wedding day.

After dodging a short drizzle of rain on the way back to the Denver Art Museum, the clouds disappeared just intime for their outdoor ceremony in the Kemper Courtyard. Once the formalities were over, the real fun began. A delightful dinner was followed by heartfelt toasts from Adam & Alex’s family, which led us into an epic dance party.

The day could not have gone more smooth, as DonnahLynne‘s planning and execution had everything on time and beautifully carried out. Congrats Adam & Alex on your Denver Art Museum Wedding.

Aerie on Copper Mountain is a breathtaking venue. Nestled in the heart of the Rockies, it offers stunning views that make for the perfect backdrop to any wedding. On Tyler and Emily’s big day, we were blessed with incredible weather—clear skies, gentle breezes, and warm sunshine that made the mountain landscape even more majestic.

The way Tyler looked at Emily as she walked down the aisle, the tears they both shared during their vows, and the pure happiness on their faces as they were pronounced husband and wife. These are the memories that make wedding photography so rewarding.

After the ceremony, the celebration moved indoors, where the charm of Aerie’s reception hall provided the perfect setting for a night of unforgettable fun.
Tyler and Emily’s guests knew how to have a good time, with the help of their favorite local band, El Paso Lasso, and the dance floor was packed from the first song to the last. There were dance-offs, jump roping, and some truly epic moshing that had everyone cheering and laughing.

Congrats you two on your beautiful Summer Wedding at Copper Mountain. We were blown away by all the emotion, love and moments these two shared. The new Aerie Wedding Venue is an amazing space and we hope to be back soon to document another wedding.

Zach & Maggie’s traditional Jewish wedding holds the record for the most tears in one day. These two value their faith, family and tradition, which is why their wedding day was so packed with emotion. Everyone surrounding them contributed every bit of love they had to offer.

Zach and Maggie were a perfect example of vulnerable love and we were lost in the moment with them. Having seen us work at a previous wedding, they knew we would beautifully document every moment of their big day.

Thank you both for inviting us to document such a memorable day. We appreciate you not wiping those tears and for your trust.

We met Damian at a Camp Hale Wedding several years ago when we were documenting Robbie & Bria’s big day. When he and his fiance decided to get married on her family’s property in northern Florida, they began looking for local photographers, but just couldn’t find someone that checked all the boxes. Damian, having seen our editorial approach, reached out and we were all about this destination wedding.

We didn’t know quite what to expect heading to the Tallahassee area, but we were absolutely blown away by the beauty of this area. The Southern Live Oak trees with the Spanish Moss added such a different dynamic. There were endless pockets of light and layers on layers of trees, which is such a contrast from our wide open views and unforgiving harsh light the Rocky Mountains force upon you.

With that said, it was such a pleasure connected with Damian & McCrea and their families for this beautiful Tallahassee Plantation Wedding. Here are a collection of our favorite photos.

Shortly after, we made our way to West Vail for the ceremony and reception. Pedro & Meredith’s Donovan Pavilion Wedding was a joy to photograph and ended with a surprise champagne gun appearance. It was our first experience with such a device and we feel every wedding reception should have one.

Congrats you two on your Beautiful Vail Winter Wedding. It is always a pleasure working with one of our favorite Vail Wedding Planners, Glitter & Bliss Weddings & Events.

Shannon & Palak wanted to highlight their two very different cultures, Indian & western traditional. We’d be lying if we said the western traditional was as exciting as the Indian Ceremony. Shutting down Curtis Street for Palak’s Baraat was quite the feat, but they pulled it off without a hitch.

After the Indian ceremony was finished, these two races to their rooms to change into their traditional formalwear for a quick ceremony, which lead into an epic celebration. We had a blast with Shannon & Palak, documenting their downtown Denver Curtis Hotel Wedding.

We started the day photographing Emily, her sister, nieces and her closest friends while they got treated in Four Seasons Denver Spa. Shortly after, we headed up to her suite so she could adorn her fabulous wedding dress with gold highlights, perfectly fit for a NYE Wedding.

Shortly after Shelby was dressed in his suite, Emily made her way down to the lobby for a first look on the grand stairway. We then made the quick walk over to Larimer Square for some portraits with the two and their wedding party.

As you would expect, the party was fantastic and the night flew by. These two exchanged a kiss while the balloons and glitter rained down on them. Congrats you two on your Four Seasond Denver New Years Eve Wedding.

Hannah didn’t know that her family and friends where hiding behind the trees near by. She was beyond shocked to see that all of her loved ones flew in. Hannah got so excited to see her mom that they went falling down into the cold snow. At the end we popped some bubbly and they all celebrated with a cheers to the newly engaged couple.

This winter proposal in Summit County was magical and Lake Dillon is a beautiful spot in the winter to take in the dramatic mountains that surround us. Congrats Zach and Hannah and thanks for sharing your love with us.

After their intimate ceremony, we explored the Telluride Valley with these two. The winter storm prohibited the big landscape photos we often photograph in Telluride, but thankfully these two made an adventure session on the following day a possibility. The weather opened up a bit for some beautiful winter portraits at San Sophia Overlook, one of the most beautiful Telluride Wedding Venues.

We had a blast with these two during their Winter Telluride Elopement. Julien, a photographer as well, decided to take our photography workshop later in 2021 and is now a wedding photographer himself.
