Hilary & Taylor: An October Proposal

I could not be more honored to be apart of Hilary and Taylor's beyond cute proposal!  Hilary had already scheduled her annual "Christmas Card" photo session with me when Taylor called and told me that he wanted to propose to Hilary during our session.  Hilary kept making things complicated by changing the date of the photos more than once, but Taylor thought of everything -- having their puppy be apart of it, the sign and the cute saying on the sign, the plot to get Hilary away for a minute so that he could put the sign around Oly's neck, everything.  All I did was help make the sign (with the help of a friend ... thanks Molly!) and showed up to capture the moment.  After we took a couple of photos like normal, I asked Hilary if it would be alright I took a couple of "head shots" of her because "I've recently had an inquiry for business head shots and I don't have very many to show this potential client".  Of course she agreed so I pulled Hilary away to take her business picture (I've included it below).  Taylor and Brandon pretended to be playing with Oly when really they were getting out the sign, making sure the ring was ready to go, etc.  After a couple of minutes, Hilary and I walked around the tree to see Taylor and Oly standing there waiting for her.  Needless to say, what came next was magical.  I was so unbelievably blessed to be apart of this.  Wishing Hilary and Taylor all the best as they enjoy their engagement (they are celebrating in Thailand right now!) and while they plan their wedding.  What a special time in their lives! photocrati gallery

 

Megan's Senior Portraits - Class of 2016

Congratulations to this darling senior!  It was so fun to photograph Megan ... what an amazing, fun, and gorgeous girl.  We took these at Cheeseman Park on a beautiful morning a couple of weeks ago ... the lighting, the flowers, the greenery, and that smile could not have been any more perfect.  I wish you all the best finishing up your senior year! photocrati gallery

Erica & Trey - Hudson Garden's Wedding

Erica and I were close friends all through elementary school ... I remember constantly having sleep overs with her, spying on her brothers (yes, we were Harriet the Spy fans), and doing everything together.  Because of this I was so honored when she asked me to photograph her wedding.  This wedding was so much fun to photograph because not only did it bring back so many good memories, but I was able to catch up with many old friends that I have not seen in years!  Erica is now a flight attendant who travels the world and lives in Virginia where she met her husband.  I did not get to meet Trey until the wedding day, but as soon as I did, it was clear that they were perfect for each other.  They decided to do a first look (which always makes me cry) and the pure laughter, tears, and joy made it so clear that they belong together.  Erica and Trey got married at Hudson Garden's surrounded by friends and family, and they sure did throw quite the celebration!  Didn't Erica make a stunning bride?  Erica and Trey, I wish you nothing but the best.  Congratulations and thank you so much for letting Brandon and me be apart of your special day! photocrati gallery

 

Kayla & Cameron - Denver Engagement

You might remember when my sister got engaged last December ... If you don't, you can read about and see her engagement here. Well, we got around to taking their engagement photos in June, and since we FINALLY got their Save the Dates sent out this week, I can finally post their gorgeous pictures!  Their pictures turned out just darling, but I am a little bias. :)

Here are some of my favorites from that beautiful June day!

Even though we didn't end up using these for the Save the Dates, we took a handful of "Save-the-Date" pictures that I thought turned out cute so I just had to share!

Erin & Michael's Gorgeous Crested Butte Wedding!

Where to begin?  I was so, so blessed to be apart of this extraordinarily perfect wedding.  From the location, to the people, to the details, to the lawn games, to the celebration and the dancing ... simply perfect. Did I mention the location?!  This wedding was on top of Crested Butte Mountain and was GORGEOUS! The rain held out, the sun was shining, and the stunning mountain peaks in the background were breathtaking.
