Best of 2018 - Colorado Wedding Photographer

2018 was so good to me.

So many new friends. So many wonderful clients. So many miles on my car (that were 100% worth it), and so many good audiobooks to accompany that. My legs hiked so many miles and for that, my heart is especially so grateful. Being a Colorado wedding photographer has no shortage of perks.

The things I tried to focus on more this year were more elopements, more gifs. two things I wanted to really expand and get better at, and I cannot wait to really grow that side of me in 2019. Elopements because while I love a good dance party, I know it’s not for everyone. And gifs because while I am not a videographer (not yet at least) I crave movement in my work. I crave emotion that shows fluidity. Nothing grand or huge - just small intimate moments and gestures. If you are one of my wonderfully amazing 2019 couples and would love more of these mini moments just let me know - I’d love to capture more!

Here is a bit of what I was up to this year. I can’t wait to share more of these individual weddings, elopements and engagements with you all <3

Hithers Edge Ranch Wedding - Intimate Wedding in Fraser, Colorado - Abbey and Ehren

Fun fact: Woody and I met in a town just outside of Tabernash. So when I get the opportunity to shoot a wedding anywhere in Grand County, I jump on it - mostly because I'm reminded of the huge leap of faith I took leaving Miami and everything I knew behind to live in a town of 46 people. And while Woody and I have moved and no longer live there, it was and still is one of the best decisions I have ever made, and Winter Park is still so dear to me.

Abbey and Ehren got married on their family ranch, surrounded by everyone they know and love. Littered about the property were the tents of several friends, a sign that even once the last song played, the party would be continuing late into the evening. I was pregnant with Luna when I shot this wedding, so I was already more emotional then usual, but I think this wedding would have gotten to me anyways - Ehren's best man had passed away tragically only a few short weeks before the wedding, and there were small touches here and there meant to let everyone know that despite his absence, he was not forgotten.

The day was emotional, but also full of a lot of love and laughter, and I loved capturing every minute of it. This is what love is all about.
