Hi!
I’m thrilled to learn more about you and your partner and everything that makes you both unique to both each other and to the world. And I’m so excited to capture you both in genuine and timeless imagery.
Before I tell you about how I work, I wanted to introduce myself and show you a few images from my personal collection that are special to me. Can you see the remote trigger in my hands? I insist on a family photoshoot each year, and thankfully my husband and two boys oblige me.
“Confident, relaxed, easy-going, and friendly.” These are words my clients use to describe me in testimonials time and time again.
I live in Colorado with my little family of four, and our German Shepard, Stark. We love exploring new mountain towns, hiking, biking, camping, and generally taking full advantage of all the Great American West has to offer.
My Background
Anyone has the ability to show up with expensive camera gear to cover your wedding or engagement session, but does every photographer have true vision and the ability to frame the scene in front of them into something amazing?
I have been a photographer since 2002, with my experience starting on actual film cameras, straight out of college. My work has taken me all over the globe, working for NBC and CBS News at The White House with GW Bush and Obama. I then moved to England and worked all throughout Europe and Africa covering political engagements for NATO and US Africa Command.
I photograph wedding work because it’s fun, exciting, and creative, with endless possibilities of meeting fascinating and interesting new people, their friends, and their families! Every wedding is entirely new and beautiful and unique, and I love working closely with my couples and telling their stories visually.
I have photographed weddings on the French Riviera, London, Amsterdam, Switzerland, and all around the US in NYC, Vermont, Colorado, and up and down the East and West Coasts. Know that when we work together, you will be receiving an absolutely stellar product with a seasoned pro documenting and guiding you through the your big day!
How I Work
I shoot in a photodocumentary style, which means I capture it as I see it, in real time, quickly and with as little intrusion as possible.
I love tuning into my clients to find out: are you guys silly? Shy? Playful or serious? I read you guys the second we meet and dial into a flow that’s right for you. I use the beautiful Colorado backdrop of sky and mountains to frame your story. A lot of times, clients will exclaim, “I didn’t even know you were taking photos right then!”
Genuine emotion and real moments are what I am after, capturing the raw love between you both.
A good photographer is not only important – it’s the best investment you can make when planning your wedding. I want to not only capture your big day in a truly beautiful and genuine way, but I want to make sure you have fun and enjoy every moment, too. I want you to tangible proof, after all the wedding cake is eaten and the day is over, of all the beauty streaming through your lives with family and loved ones present.
Securing Your Date
Let’s tell your story in the most beautiful way possible! I want to know everything: how you met, your favorite thing to do as a couple, and what makes you crazy about each other.

Head over to my BOOKING FORM and fill it out as much as you can. I will then send over my collections and some galleries for you to browse! We’ll chat about the different options, customize, and then I’ll send a contract over for you to look over and sign when you’re ready. I keep it simple and ask for $1000 to book your date, and we’ll then set up a payment schedule that works for you.
Often, the smallest and most intimate gatherings bring people together in the best ways.
It helps to be in the beautiful Colorado mountains, in places that are meaningful to you, with just a handful of your nearest and dearest present.
I want to create the most uniquely special day for you and those closest to you. Beautiful photographs of your elopement are a true investment to be enjoyed by both you and your partner, and the generations to come.
Incredible Colorado mountains, alpine lakes, and fields full of wildflowers… you will have all of these as the backdrop in your photos for this most important day! But more than anything, its your connection and energy and love for each other that I strive to capture. The beauty around you will just make the images that much more stunning
Why should we have an engagement session?
Besides having an excuse to get dressy and fancy for some beautiful images together, an engagement session gives us an opportunity to meet each other and work together before the big day, and without any pressure!
Knowing how I will direct you on wedding day and playing around in a beautiful location are both fun and important for getting ready for your big day. I will guide you into gentle poses that work best for you as a couple so that wedding day will go smoothly and effortlessly! That way, you can focus on the important things when wedding day comes: relaxing, having fun, and eating wedding cake!
Let’s plan a date and choose a spot that’s special to you as a couple, or simply head to a beautiful mountain location for a laid back session in your favorite outfits.
I cannot wait to meet you both and spend a special hour getting to know you while capturing the love you share.
