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. The site just launched yesterday and you can see that it is chock full of beauty! I can’t wait to follow Love in the Rockies and see all of the amazing wedding inspiration. 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.

It was so fun to meet Kate and Ralf in person after chatting via phone and skype from California. Kate and Ralf’s inquiry via my website caught my attention immediately, Kate wrote: A little about us: Ralf and I have been together for 4 years this June. We met in our work cafeteria a couple weeks after he moved to the US from Berlin via Hong Kong and Bangalore. Having just moved to The Bay from Mammoth, I also was in a strange land (my first time living below 6,000 ft and in such a… Read More »

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Lindsey & Jeff’s mountain wedding. It was at the fabulous Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge, which provided the perfect backdrop for their Colorado wedding.  Their wedding day was filled with so much emotion & style.

Thank you Lindsey & Jeff- I am so glad that the world is so small and that I happened to be 3 blocks from you in New York City when you contacted me!  I wish you a lifetime of love &… Read More »

Crazy, right? Well, that seems to be the way my life works…and I am so happy that it does, because… Read More »

I know that Jill and Ted’s life together will be filled with tons of laughter and lots of love! I had the great privilege of photographing Jill and Ted’s beautiful wedding at the Fort Collins Coutry Club, which provided the perfect backdrop for their Colorado wedding.

Remember the sense of humor I… Read More »

Love blossomed on the CU campus (my alma mater too! GO BUFFS!!!) a few years back, and now Whitney and Alex will be married this summer! Since Whitney & Alex met in the dorms at CU…where else could be better than the CU campus for an engagement session? I am so excited for their wedding in Breckenridge at Sevens in early September. These two are darling, and soooo much fun to be around. I came home from the shoot saying…I love my job! There is nothing better than meeting with two people in love, who… Read More »
