LAUREN + BRANDON, ENGAGED! DOWNTOWN URBAN ENGAGEMENT SESSION

It’s all about the click.  In my business, I love that “click”.  It’s the click that I get when I talk to someone, or meet them for the first time, and know that I LOVE THEM!  Lauren and Brandon are that kind of “click”.  They are both from Colorado but currently live in New York City.  When I spoke to Lauren on the phone the first time, I knew that she was fabulous, fun, and my type of girl!  I was SO excited that they chose me to shoot their wedding.  So, they were in town for Christmas and we set up their engagement session.  Seriously … these two rocked my little socks off!  I truly LOVE them :)  We had a ton of fun (on a very cold morning) wandering through Denver.  Lauren, Brandon and I laughed.  A LOT.  They remind me why I love what I do so much everyday.

SARAH + ANDREW, ENGAGED! DENVER RAILROAD ENGAGEMENT

When I first met Sarah, I saw how gorgeous she was.  Are you kidding me with those amazing blue eyes?  She boasted about her fiance, how awesome he was, and how much she missed him since he now lives out of state.  Truth be told, I knew Sarah was amazing from the moment I met her.  Then I met Andrew.  Helllloooo, more blue eyes :)  These two are awesomely amazing people, and when they are together, the world better watch out.

We had so much fun in the cold … and melting snow (yeah, I stepped in a puddle and sank up to my ankle in 30 degree weather, but my cold piggy’s said it was worth it, and they were right!) to capture their love.  Sarah and Andrew, thanks for bringing the awesome.  I have WAY too many favorites from this shoot.  I am so happy for you and your upcoming wedding!  Hugs – Karie!

KATIE AND BRAD’S WEDDING – JW MARRIOTT DENVER, AT CHERRY CREEK

Smiles.  They say a million things without even using words.  My favorite pictures are ones where my clients are smiling (just take a look around my office).  Almost 2 years ago, I briefly photographed Katie and Brad in a wedding party that I was shooting at another wedding.  Even then, their energy was electric.  They smiled, had a ton of fun, and were just people you wanted to be around.  Katie and Brad called me last year and said they were getting married.  I was really flippin excited to take pictures of these two and the love they have for each other. Words seriously cannot express.  

The day?  Well, it was another snorailing mess here in Denver.  It was seriously snowing, hailing, raining, and blizzarding on their day.  They were surrounded by their closest friends, amazing family, awesomely cool details … and the weather didn’t stop any of us.  Aside from having a beautiful ceremony, can I just say that the dance party at the reception was outta control (in a good way) :)  We had so much fun … it was pretty cool (just see the images below).  The Marriott was BE-AU-TI-FUL!  

Katie and Brad – Thank you!  You two are seriously amazing!  I am so thankful to have met you, and to be asked to capture such a fabulous and exciting time in your lives.  I am looking forward to your After-Party Session!! Hugs!


I snapped this moment … I LOVE this picture.  This is Katie’s flower girl.  She was so happy to see Katie when she entered the room.

Katie’s father is from California.  He brought a bag full of several souveniers that he felt described Katie and Brad, as well as reminders of where their family is from… he doesn’t live far from Disney :)
