I am pleased to announce that Courtney & Ryan’s wonderful wedding in Vail Colorado is featured in the latest edition of the Knot Minnesota. (Their wonderful wedding planner Denae Brennan is located in Minneapolis, so the feature was highlighted in her home town). I have to say, I couldn’t agree more on Denae’s advice on “Invest in a good photographer. Other than your ring, the photos will likely be the only physical objects you take away from your wedding. While you may not feel it’s important to meet with other vendors, it’s extremely important that you meet… Read More »

Lynn & Kyle couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous fall day  for their beautiful Denver wedding. Lynn and Kyle did most of their wedding planning from afar and flew in from either coast for their big day… yet with their amazing organizational skills (and Kyle’s mind blowing spreadsheet) their wedding day went off without a hitch! Thank you so much for inviting me to be there to capture your beautiful day for the two of you. Wishing you all the best (and wishing you a great job offer to get Kyle out west!). Best, Rachel Again… Read More »

Get ready for image overload…but that is what happens when you have a spectacular wedding day bursting with love and full of amazing moments. The incredible Jill of Cloutier Events (and wonderful sister of the bride!) put together an incredible line up of vendors for Abby & Andrew’s wedding day. First off- Della Terra Mountain Chateau, not only is it an beautiful venue nestled right on the edge of Rocky Mountain Nation Park; Della Terra (as perfectly stated on their website) is “family designed, built, managed and operated with pride” by Darell and Pam Amelang,… Read More »

I met up with Lynn & Kyle in Wash Park for their engagement session. They were flying in from either side of the country to finalize their last minute details for their Denver wedding next week- they have been planning their big day at Hudson Gardens from California and Virginia (and I have to say that they may be one of the most organized, detailed couples I have ever met. Kyle’s timeline is a piece of art! Thank you.) While they were in town we took a little time out of their busy day  to capture a few “official” images for the… Read More »

It was an incredible day in the Vail Valley! Courtney and Ryan put together the most wonderful day to celebrate their love for one another. They were surrounded by friends and family and their day sparkled with amazing DIY touches. The amazing feather boutonnieres and Dexter’s (the dog) tux were made by Courtney’s mom . The invites and programs were made by Ryan’s sister. Two close friends stepped in- one as the officiant and the other as the DJ. The antique jars and dollies were Courtney’s Grandma’s. And the food was prepared by Courtney’s parents, her mom’s… Read More »

This wedding was extra special to me, because Regina is my darling cousin!  It was such an honor and privilege to be the one entrusted to capture all of her memories for her. Their day was full of so much love and FUN…as I expected it to be with these two dynamic people, who are full of life. You may remember Regina and John from their Colorado engagement session last winter. As I mentioned in that post, these two have hearts of gold and also have tons of energy. Regina is a preschool teacher for… Read More »

Anne and Adam had a beautiful wedding in Grand Lake, a place that is near and dear to their hearts. The day started at Anne’s family’s beautiful cabin, which was hand built by her father. It is aptly named “Almost Heaven” and I can appreciate why. I was amazed at all of the D.I.Y (Do it Yourself) details that Anne created for their wedding day. I think her father’s quote about her amazing creativity was something to the effect of  ”this was a craft project on steroids.” Anne “bedazeled” her shoes, made her jewelry and her bridesmaid’s jewelry,… Read More »

What a fun engagement session, and what a fun couple!  Abby and Andrew are wonderfully in love and a blast to be around. I knew that they would be my ideal clients when I heard that they spend their winters in Canada working in a small ski town (right up my alley!) and then spend their summers down here in Fort Collins. I am so excited for their wedding later this summer at Della Terra in Estes Park. Abby and Andrew are incredibly lucky because Abby’s sister happens to be the very talented wedding planner… Read More »

The Denver Clock Tower was the perfect & unique wedding venue for this sweet couple. Catherine and Matt had an intimate wedding and wonderful reception full of love, laughter and lots of dancing (three DJs!) The terrific Jessica of Weddings by Design coordinated every detail beautifully and she made the day run seamlessly. Catherine and Matt- it was a privilege to be a witness to your special day. Thank you. Thank you to my amazing second shooters- Steve Glass and Tara Bailey! Wishing you all the best, Rachel
