My style is very couture, fresh, and fun. In other words, these aren’t your parent’s wedding photographs. I strive to capture my couples as who they are, how they love one another, and tell the story of love. I want a couple's pictures to be a reflection of them. I am inspired by fashion, which allows me to capture my clients in a way that is unique and editorial.
Please browse my boudoir gallery as well. These photos are a great gift for your Man anytime, or as a special surprise gift on your wedding day, Valentine’s Day, or any day. These sessions are classy and modern. Your someone special, will love them.
I have had the opportunity to work with Colorado's top wedding planners, resorts, videographers, DJ's, and venues.

I love Colorado. I just do. I knew it from the very first time I came here. Matt had an internship here when we were in College. When I came to visit … it was like love at first site. We picked up our lives and moved here straight out of college, just married, and set up shop. I wouldn’t change a thing. We love the outdoors. We LOVE the mountains. Two weeks ago we headed up to Keystone for a day of skiing (and Matt Boarding). This is what I caught with my iPhone on the way home. I really want to frame this one.
I’ll be out of the office today at a workshop – but will be back tomorrow! Happy Thursday!
If you are planning a wedding, you have probably heard of the uber chic blog “The Wedding Chicks”. I always check out the blog as they have amazing ideas for your wedding, a store to purchase some cool stuff from, and they feature work periodically from photographers. They are seriously awesome. I am SO excited to say that today, Carrie and Ben’s Beaver Creek Wedding is featured on the blog. You can view the post HERE. You can also view their entire blog by clicking HERE. Check it out and leave us some love
The Rocky Mountain air was fresh as Carrie and her Bridesmaids arrived to get ready for their day … the one they had been planning for months now, from hundreds of miles away. Her girls were the most awesome kind … the ones that told you how they knew Carrie, and loved her like a sister. A few blocks up the road, Ben was preparing for the same big day, with his family and groomsmen.
Carrie and Ben met in LA and moved to Miami together. It was there that their love blossomed and turned in to the amazing kind that they have today. Seriously, these two are the most thoughtful, caring, and genuinely in love people ever! I have talked to Carrie for months now, and had never met her until this day. She was STUNNING in her dress and lime green shoes. Ben, he was rocking out a beige suit, green tie, and brown Vans. Yeah, it was THAT AWESOME
Carrie’s smile is contagious! I seriously heart her
I love first looks! This one was no let down. LOVE this image.
The awesome-est bridal party!
Carrie and Ben had a traditional ceremony – the Chuppa was made from aspen trunks! Beautiful!!!
Carrie and Ben’s flower girl – Ladybug! She is so cute!
I loved how Carrie smiled as she listened to Ben’s vows to her.
I had a little bit of sensory overload with this scenery! I have so many favorites, this was hard to narrow down!
A fave!
Another fave … I saw these flowers and couldn’t resist!!
Those green shoes are for hiking … and it was worth it!
Another super fave! Carrie, I love your laughter.
I loved some of the mountain details at this wedding …
Natalie got some great detail shots for me … the centerpieces were wrapped with Aspen bark, and each table had a mountain name on it
Each guest went home with one of these
Plum Sage Flowers did an amazing job!
Carrie and Ben, you are fabulous. Your families are amazing. Thank you for everything. I had such an amazing time capturing your day … and Natalie did too! A huge thanks goes out to Debbie with Save the Date Events. She does such a fantastic job at making the day go smoothly! If you are looking for a coordinator check out her team!! I highly recommend her!
For more, check out their slideshow. They had a super dance crowd, and I have way too many faves to post them all here!

I'm bright, I'm bold, I laugh a lot, I get a little crazy on photo shoots (I dig alleys, architecture, and other things you don't necessarily think of). I am a technology geek, I love my camera (like a bad addiction), I LOVE soda and Starbucks (another bad habit), I like to sing ... loudly ... and trust me, I'm no good. I'm a wedding and lifestyle portrait photographer... I LOVE my job!
