There is so much to look forward to going into 2016! But I want to take a quick moment to look back over some of the amazing people I was able to work with in 2015… much more to come but here is a snippet of the past year. Thank you to each and everyone of you for entrusting me to capture your special moments in time. I never lose sight of what a privilege it is to be there with you. All the best, Rachel

Oh how I am looking forward to Sam and Megan’s fall wedding in Vail. These two are just darling and so much fun to be around! I have had a great time getting to know them between our first initial meeting and then this super fun engagement session outside of Vail Colorado. Sam is a wonderful photographer, so he had a great vision for scouting locations. We met along the side of the road and ventured into the fields by an abandoned train track. Megan and Sam shared a little bubbly to easy “camera nerves” and then… Read More »

We had a great adventure heading over and through the Rocky Mountains to get to the Western Slopes of Colorado for Katie & Matt’s wedding.  We stopped along the way to admire the yellow aspens and the stunning weather. When we arrived we found the beautiful property of Gunnison River Farms tucked into the Gunnison River Valley Basin and we knew that we were in the right place for Katie & Matt’s wonderful wedding. Matt has been a fly fishing guide here for the Black Canyon Anglers for over a decade and when they were planning their wedding they knew that… Read More »

Last fall I had a great evening engagement session in Denver with Lindsay and Dan. We walked all over downtown and chatted the whole time. It was so fun to get to know them better.  These two are so easy and fun to be around and I can’t wait for their gorgeous wedding at Della Terra Mountain Chateau in September. These two lead very busy lives as they both are wrapping up their residencies, but they have done an amazing job of lining up all of their wonderful details of their wedding on their days off,… Read More »

It was such a blast to be part of Carrie & Michael’s intimate wedding day at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. Their day was perfectly “them” from the minute it started.  I loved how Carrie and Michael were totally focused on each other and their love for one another throughout the whole day.  They weren’t superstitious about seeing each other before the ceremony, Michael breezed in and out of the Morning Glory cabin after his run as Carrie was getting her makeup done. They each enjoyed pre ceremony time with their family members who came into town to join… Read More »

I was so honored when Kandace from Love in The Rockies contacted me about being a preferred vendor on the new luxury wedding planning site for the mountain bride.

Two of my wonderful mountain weddings have been featured on the site. Lauren & Travis’s cowboy chic wedding at 4 Eagle Ranch outside of Vail Colorado was highlighted yesterday.

Dorsey & Nathan’s wedding at Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch was incredible. I knew their wedding would be a heartfelt treat from the first time I met with Dorsey and her parents at my office. They are warm and genuine and couldn’t be nicer. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such a wonderful family. Their beautiful wedding day was full of friends and family that traveled near and far to be with them as they got married at the very place they met. Dorsey and Nathan met at the Beaver Meadows Pond… Read More »
