Evan & Nicole | Engagement Photos at Azura Cellars

Evan & Nicole | Engagement Photos at Azura Cellars

As the setting sun glowed over the valley of Paonia, I met Evan, Nicole and their pup for their engagement photos at Azura Cellars. The view was a stunning overlook of the area – all the beautiful trees just on the verge of turning to gold and the mountains standing guard above the town.

We explored the area of the winery, including a pond that perfectly reflected the bluebird sky, and a wall of…

Dylan & Lexi's Wedding at Talbott's Cider in Palisade

Dylan & Lexi’s Wedding at Talbott’s Cider in Palisade

As guests walked into the little church in Palisade, they were met by a textbook. A textbook guestbook, if you will. Dylan and Lexi first met in a statistics course in college. Dylan was Lexi’s tutor, and that semester they spent every Sunday together studying in the University Center. As they wrote on their sign-in table: the rest is history! It was only fitting, then, that their guests sign…

April & Bruce | Palisade Wedding in a Vineyard

April & Bruce | Palisade Wedding in a Vineyard

April and Bruce were married in a beautiful Palisade wedding in a vineyard last weekend, and I still cannot get over how stunning it was! The two met in a coffee shop around a year ago, but being around them you’d suspect they’ve known one another much longer. April says she knew Bruce was “the one” when they started swing dancing together (and yes, they had some great dances during the evening…

Chris & Amanda | Soldier Creek Winery Wedding

Chris & Amanda | Soldier Creek Winery Wedding

If you’ve been following me a while, you’ll know that we moved here to Colorado from a small town in Iowa a few years back. Ever since the move, I’ve had the privilege of being flown back to Iowa for friends and close clients’ weddings every year and I’m so happy for the opportunity every time! It’s exciting to be trusted enough to be invited back from such a distance. I’ve known Amanda since…

Morgan & Josh | Amy's Courtyard Engagement Proposal

Morgan & Josh | Amy’s Courtyard Engagement Proposal

I love capturing engagement proposals! The secrecy, seeing the behind-the-scenes planning as loved ones come together to envision the perfect scenario for a couple they love so dearly… it’s humbling to be a part of! Josh planned an Amy’s Courtyard engagement proposal on Morgan’s birthday – the perfect excuse for everyone she loves to gather under the willows for a brunch celebration. I hid out as…

Varaison Vineyards | Western Slope Wedding Venues

Today’s western slope wedding venue highlight is one I’ve admired from afar for a couple years now. Every time we pass on our way to Palisade Brewery or Distillery (we’re huge fans) I would sigh, wistfully wishing for the day I would be able to actually stop by Varaison Vineyards. Well that day came recently and it was everything I imagined and more! Varaison Vineyards The main building on the…

David & Sara | Amy's Courtyard Wedding in Palisade

David & Sara | Amy’s Courtyard Wedding in Palisade

David and Sara’s Amy’s Courtyard Wedding in Palisade was centered around strength. After all, that’s what a marriage is about right? Being strong for one another, especially when the other has no strength left. Admiring the resiliency of each other, and celebrating in the successes and joys of life too. These two have not had an easy journey together, but the trials they’ve endured have brought…
