destination... Hawaii !! Shawna & Maz ~ October 20

Shawna and Maz held their wedding last weekend at the stunning Mauna Lani Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii - what an amazing location to tie the knot! They hired me months ago over the phone, and I met them in person for the first time two days before the wedding.. they are such a great couple! Shawna and Maz's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the day - from the custom totes that they gave to each guest to the stunning layout of the table with a burlap runner, seashells, votives, and stunning stunning orchids. What a perfect day! And I feel so lucky to have been a part of it all! Here are a few of my faves..
Thank you so much for having me be a part of your wonderful celebration!! Best wishes to you both!!

Courtney and John.. married!!!

Courtney and John tied the knot last weekend in an outdoor ceremony at Chautauqua in Boulder - the skies were so dramatic and gorgeous, threatening rain but holding off long enough for the wedding to finish. Afterwards we went back downtown to The Curtis Hotel in Denver for the reception. It was a blast! If you've never had a chance to check out The Curtis, you really should. It is the coolest hotel - they've got this retro theme going on, which was echoed throughout the details of Court and John's entire day (and also tied in with their e-pics that we did a couple of months ago!)

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you guys and wish you the best!! Congratulations!!

Joy and Guy ~ engaged!!

Joy and Guy are getting married in August of 2008 at the Cherokee Ranch and Castle in Sedalia (if you haven't checked out the Castle before you should - it's an amazing spot!) They are so great together, and I had such fun shooting their engagement session in downtown Denver.
I can't wait for the wedding - it's going to be a blast!

Leah and Nick ~ Beaver Creek September 29th

Another perfect weekend up in the mountains!
Leah and Nick had the most wonderful wedding weekend up at the Beaver Creek Resort. Festivities started on Friday with the rehearsal dinner at the spectacular Allie's Cabin - we were surrounded by breathtaking views of the aspen turning gold.
And then on Saturday they held their wedding ceremony at the charming Beaver Creek Chapel followed by the reception just down the road at the Beaver Creek Club. Linda Shafer of Veils & Vows did an amazing job of coordinating the entire day - everything was so magical!! In fact, while friends and family danced the night away, outside the first few snowflakes of the season began to fall.
You can view their slideshow here.

A few of my favorites.. Leah getting ready..
Nick's expression as he first sees his bride..
I truly loved being a part of your wedding weekend! Congratulations and best wishes to you both!
