Will and Jordan's Wedding at The Ridge at Greenbluff

I saw this all the time, it’s really hard to look happy in the rain. It’s cold. It’s wet - very wet (by definition). It messes up your hair, makes your clothes uncomfortable, and makes existing hard. So when I got to Will and Jordan’s wedding in Mid-Ocotober, I was wondering how the potential for rain would affect the day. While we got very lucky and it held off for most of the portraits, it really started raining on us in the middle of the ceremony. People had umbrellas, yes, but Jordan went without. As the rain fell, and things got more and more wet something struck me - these two seemed to be able to kill it in any situation. They never ceased being kind, never ceased having fun, and were ready for anything. And it shows! I absolutely love how these photos turned out. An amazing couple, group, location, everything came together for an awesome and beautiful wedding that I had a blast being a part of. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Kanaan and Jessica's The Ridge at Greenbluff Wedding

Kanaan and Jessica are two people I have enjoyed from the minute we met at the bar. They are quick to smile, so easy to get along with, and so much fun to be around. And I think that shows here, not only are they fun, but so are their friends. This wedding didn’t lack for laughter, fun moments, touching details, and two lives changed forever. The Ridge at Greenbluff was showing off with some fall colors popping in with this early September wedding, and I love how it all came together. Definitely check out my favorites here, and I hope you love them!

Wedding at Settlers Creek with Tyler & Kelsie

It is crazy how life can work sometimes. Each one of us is going through life, trying to live it the best way possible, honor God, love those around us, our family and friends. And sometimes you make a connection. In this case, the connection was with my oldest son’s Kindergarten teacher (who was excellent) and it was her who introduced me to Tyler and Kelsie. And what a blessing that was! Because these two have been so great, from their engagement shoot last year to their wedding this year they have been fantastic. And you can see that permeated through their family and friends. Such a great bridal party (which I think shows in the energy and smiles in the bridal party photos) and at such an incredible location (Settlers Creek). I hope you love looking through these photos as much as I loved taking them.

Andrew and Madi's Wedding at Settlers Creek

One thing that has always struck me about Andrew and Madi are their smiles. These two have some incredible, genuine, joy filled smiles and it is infectious. They have surrounded themselves with people who are similar in temperament, and because of that their wedding at Settlers Creek was not just beautiful, but enjoyable. I had so much fun with these two and their friends and family. It was beautiful and sweet, and man is it a privilege to be able to share these photos with you!

Jared and Aubrey's Denver Wedding

There is something extraordinarily special about Jared and Aubrey. While i’ve known Jared for a long time, Aubrey I have only had the chance to meet recently - but the feeling is the same. These two are amazing. They are kind, thoughtful, and clearly love the Lord. Watching them give their vows, defend each other on the alter, and run into their reception all speaks to the kind of people they are - willing to have fun, laugh, and enjoy life together. I couldn’t be happier for both of these incredible people, and I am SO excited to share these photos with you.

Carson and Ali's Wedding at The Farmhouse on Greenbluff

Carson and Ali are two amazing people. You don’t have to talk with them for very long to see that they are kind and thoughtful people who are so so genuine. My time with them - at their engagement and wedding - has been a highlight for me over the years. And like many people, who they are is reflected in their friends and family as well, who were amazing on this day. Taking place at the beautiful The Farmhouse on Greenbluff, we had some great weather (it was sunny!) and bad weather (it was VERY windy!) and provided some interesting challenges. That said, I love how it all turned out, and i’m so excited to share these highlights with you.
