This summer has been going by fast. Ridiculously fast. A minute ago it was June 1st. Now we are almost to August and I'm feeling overwhelmed with how much I've learned in the last two months.

So much about photography, love, Colorado, design, my workflow, myself, and my constantly modified five year plan. But I'm ok with it. I look back at my work from a year ago and I've come such a long way. I can only hope that by this time next year I'll be even better, and I'll be challenged even more.

Sam & Hunter got married in an aspen forest, where it rained on and off and thundered like crazy, but ruined nothing. Luckily I carry four umbrellas in my car, and oh yea, I can tie a bow tie, so I seemed to have saved the day in more then one way :)

Two more things about this wonderful wedding - dessert came in the form of an ice cream truck. And Sam's grandfather was possibly one of the funniest people I have ever met, as dapper as they come.

Make sure you keep an eye out for him below.

There were so many epic things about this wedding. Instead of rambling on like I usually do, I'm just gonna list them out, cause honestly, ya'll just need to KNOW how epic this wedding was.

1. Rachel and Dave are both red heads.

2. Tears ran freely here. And it wasn't the oh-how-embarrassing sort of tears. But it was more of like the she's crying because he's crying, and now he's laughing because she's crying, so now she's laughing at him because he's crying, and now I'm crying even more because I'm laughing so much, and now everyone within a 50 foot radius is crying and laughing. Pure euphoria all over the damn place.

3. They wanted all fun pictures. In fact, they had more fun then I did taking them. Awesome.

4. Rachel was a DIY queen. EVERYTHING was pretty much made by her. I wouldn't have been surprised if she had made her own dress, and somehow between getting married and taking pictures had cooked all the food too.

5. The food...was a taco buffet. Enough said.

6. They were going to Disney for their honeymoon. Talk about inner little kids.

7. They had a sparkler exit, which a lot of people do, but wait for it....they exited ON A TANDEM BIKE. Again, epic.

I went home happy as a clam after this one.
