A few beautiful shots from a pretty weekend wedding. Flowers by Cori Cook Floral. Thanks to Kristin Beam for helping out too!
Whitney and Mike have known each other for almost their entire lives — they met in elementary school as Mike was Whitney’s older brother’s best friend. They were just friends for the first decade or so of their relationship. But Mike said he always had a thing for Whitney — he was in love with her from the beginning. And, of course, those true feelings came out the older they got.
They are SO cute together — and are planning a winter wedding. They thought a springtime engagement shoot would be a nice compliment to their winter wedding. And I agree! After having to cancel the shoot once for a fluke spring snowstorm, we got a spectacular day. They are both Colorado natives, so this spot was absolutely fitting for them.
I am sitting at my desk this morning watching the snow fall. And as I edit images from this shoot it feels like it was all a dream…. how could it have been 80 degrees just 48 hours earlier? But as they say in Colorado, if you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes.
But we didn’t have to wait for anything on Sunday– we awoke to a perfect day and I LOVE the way Denver looks this time of year. So full of life with all the beautiful blooms.
And these two were gorgeousness in front of the camera– every shot is my favorite! Kendal knows a thing or two about being photographed– because she is a photographer herself! She studied at the Art Institute with an emphasis in fashion. I can’t wait to see all the beautiful things she is incorporating into the wedding–I know their day is going to be spectacular! I asked Jon what he is most looking forward to on their wedding day… he said he is most excited to see Kendal for the first time (and I know she will take his breath away!), and is also so happy to have all the family together in one place celebrating their special occasion.
Congrats you two!
As I mentioned last week, my good friend Sarah Box and I styled each other for a fun shoot with our husbands in Vail. Here’s a couple of my favorites of Brian and I photographed by Sarah. Be sure to check out her blog (and her newly branded website!) for more photos from the day. Thank you Sarah for the photos- we love them!
Sarah has become a dear friend to me– we are both photographers and she assisted me at quite a few weddings this year. I spent a lot of time with Sarah this past wedding season– I am fairly certain we clocked 40+ hours in the car together driving to weddings, let alone the 100+ hours of shooting weddings together. She is sweet, reliable, hardworking, and charming! I loved getting to know Sarah this past summer and consider her one of my closest friends.
Now that wedding season has slowed down a bit, we headed up to Vail for the weekend with our husbands…. we went antiquing, ate too much food, took the snowshoes out for a snowy stroll, and hit the ski slopes. We also styled each other for a little photo shoot. These are pictures of Sarah and her amazing husband, JP! Stay tuned, because later I will post some of the images from Sarah styling Brian and I!
Thanks again, Sarah and JP, for such a fun weekend!
