I originally met Vanessa & Jason last summer at Kate & Ralf’s beautiful wedding at the Redstone Inn. I was thrilled when Vanessa emailed to inquire about my availability to photograph her Denver wedding this summer! I am always so honored when I receive referrals from past brides and grooms- it is one of my favorite ways to meet new clients because they have seen me in action and are familiar with the resulting photographs, so they have a great sense of what to expect from me,  AND I get to see my former clients again and catch up with… 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 »

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 »

I had so much fun with Alicia and Crystal of Bella Fiori and the very talented RJ Kern of kern-photo in my own backyard (and garage!). Alicia had a wonderful idea of featuring floral headdresses on her amazing floral blog flirty fleurs, and to top of the week she had to try on these beautiful pieces for herself! This was such a fun, “out of the box” shoot for me, that pushed my creative (and technical lighting) abilities. A big thank you to my wonderful brother-in-law, the amazingly talented RJ Kern for including me in… 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

I had a wonderful evening with Catherine and Matt last week. What a perfect way to kick of the wedding season. They are two beautiful souls so wonderfully in love. I can not wait for their wedding next month at the Clock Tower in Denver. The talented Jessica, of Weddings by Design, is helping them create a beautiful, intimate affair. Thank you for taking a little time out of your crazy schedules to spend the evening with me. All the best, Rachel

Karen and Nate are two of the sweetest people who are very much in love.  Their entire wedding day at the Hudson Gardens in Denver radiated with the special sweet love that is shared between them. Karen glowed in her gown by Martina Liana Gowns purchased at the amazing Anna Be in Denver. The flowers from The Little Flower Market added to the beauty of the naturally gorgeous Hudson Gardens Venue. And the reception went off without a hitch with the help of The DJ Guy and a delicious cake made by the Makery. Karen… Read More »

Recently I had the great pleasure of photographing Sarah & Dan’s wonderful Denver wedding. It was at the at the beautiful Hudson Gardens with their ceremony in Monet’s Garden and the reception to follow on site. Sarah and Dan put together fun details that included wonderful hats that Sarah’s Mom found at an antique show, a fabulous short wedding dress, amazing bouquets from the Perfect Petal, great food from Catering by Design and wonderful tunes by A Music +. Some fun surprises were thrown in by Sarah’s family- like her sister’s tear and laughter inducing… Read More »

I had a wonderful time with Karen & Nate here in Fort Collins for their engagement session. I love spending time with brides and grooms before their wedding day, even if it is just for a short shoot, so that I can get to know them a little better.  Doing an engagement shoot can also help give the couple a sense of how I shoot and hopefully make them more comfortable in front of my camera for their big wedding day.  Karen & Nate (and Athena) were great sports in the cool spring weather. I am looking forward… Read More »

I am finally getting around to editing my weddings that I second shot last year!  I had the wonderful priviledge of second shooting Janna & Patrick’s wedding and reception with Ali of Alison Rose Photography. Janna & Patrick had a beautiful wedding in the heart of Denver. Their ceremenony was held at Trinity Methodist Church in downtown Denver and the reception was held at the stunning Pinnacle Club on the 38th floor of the Hyatt building. Both venues provided the perfect city backdrop for their Colorado Wedding. When I was editing this wedding, I was totally in love with the black and white… Read More »
