Krista & Scott | Engagement

Somehow this winter, we have photographed engagement sessions on what have to be the coldest days we have had in Colorado.  Krista and Scott's engagement session was no exception.  However, these are some of our favorite images from the winter season.  Though it was freezing, the weather was perfect otherwise for some gorgeous images.  We had a great time wandering around Denver with these two.  Krista and Scott are a fun-loving couple, and kept us laughing the entire session.  It was such an honor to photograph these two.  The love and happiness that is evident between the two of them in their images is just beautiful.  These are the kinds of moments we love to capture.

We already cannot wait to photograph their wedding this summer at Red Rocks.  We know it will be a wonderful day!  Congratulations Krista & Scott!

Wyatt | 1 Year Old

Wyatt has grown up so fast. It is really hard to believe it has already been a year since this little baby was born....

...and has grown into this one year old boy.

Wyatt has developed the most adorable personality.  He is quite the charmer.  His little smile can just melt your heart.  I cannot wait to watch him grow even more in the next few years!

Of course, no one year session is complete without a "cake smash", and Wyatt definitely loved that cake!

I cannot wait to photograph this family more as Wyatt and his family grows!  Happy Birthday Wyatt!

Christopher

Just over a year ago, we had the opportunity to take some fall family portraits for a sweet family. This year, we took some annual portraits of Christopher.  He is such a fun kid.  He had us all laughing with some of his jokes.  We had a blast photographing Christopher.

Daralynne & Tyler {engagement}

Tyler and Daralynne have to be one of the sweetest, most genuine couples we have met. They also have such a unique story. Daralynne is originally from Canada, and Tyler is a US native. The two of them met at a Bible school in Austrailia, then both came back to the US to finish school. Tyler proposed in Hawaii, and they are planning to have their wedding in Canada.  We are so excited to see where God takes them next as a married couple!

We had so much fun with Tyler and Daralynne for their engagement session.  It was completely freezing cold the day of their session, so we had to take a few breaks to warm up in our cars and to grab some Starbucks.  However, their pictures were definitely worth braving the freezing cold temperatures.

Aaron & Ashley {wedding}

Aaron and Ashley's wedding has been highly anticipated for over a year. These two have been through more than anyone can imagine, and their strength is just incredible. Just about a year and a half ago, Ashley was diagnosed with an extremely rare brain tumor. You can read a series of articles about Ashley's journey here, here and here.  Aaron and Ashley's relationship especially during this time was so inspiring. Scott and I have no doubt that their marriage will be a strong, lasting marriage.

There were so many beautiful details in this wedding.  And Ashley planned every detail perfectly. 

Aaron and Ashley were married at the Chateaux at Fox Meadows.  This venue is gorgeous and the perfect venue for a fairy tale wedding. 

Aaron and Ashley chose not to see each other before the ceremony, and decided to do some "behind the door" images instead of doing a "first look".  After getting ready, we brough Aaron over to the bridal suite, where Ashley was standing behind the door.  They both stood back to back with the door separating the two of them.  They were able to take each other's hand and talk a little bit prior to saying "I do".  This was such a special moment to witness.  This series of images are some of our favorites from the day. 

There was not a dry eye in the room as Ashley walked down the aisle with her proud dad.

But nothing could beat the reaction from her groom waiting at the end of the aisle. 

Their reception was such a celebration of the start of their new life together. 

Aaron and Ashley even rented a Rolls Royce for their getaway car.

Aaron and Ashley, we could not be happier for the two of you.  Your wedding was absolutely gorgeous, but the love you have for each other is even more beautiful.  We wish you a lifetime of happiness, and pray God blesses the two of you abundantly.  As Jen said in her toast, there is nobody more deserving of a happily ever after than the two of you!  Congratulations!
