Nick And Christina {wedding}

Nick and Christina
November 1, 2015
As photographers, we thrive on taking photos with meaning. To do that, we have to really know our couples. Kristi and I met Christina and Nick almost a year ago when we did our first bridal consult with them. Then, this couple seemed quiet and reserved. 

Since then we have met them for several sessions. We have learned that they are far from quiet , though Nick's more quiet, subdued humor  is well matched to Christina's "go any where, do anything personality".  She is the kite, he is the steady hand that guides her.

November 1st will forever bring happy memories for these two. We watched them laugh and dance and share quiet moments together all from behind our lenses. They were open to anything and we , in turn, captured so many beautiful photos of them. We are definitely a little sad to see their wedding day pass but we both are so happy to know that we've gained great friends through the process.

Here is to many, many new adventures and cherishing life's moments together,

Mike and Trish {Wedding}


Mike and Trish Happel October 11, 2015

I've never been to a wedding like it. And that was the point. This beautiful October day was just what these two wanted- a combining of lives surrounded by their closest family and friends. Mike and Trish stuck to a very loose timeline that allowed them time for hopscotch with the littles, lingering conversations with their guests and a visit to the ice cream truck that passed by.

The thing I found most profound about the Happel wedding was their profession to grow together but also to help each other grow independently. Coming from an old married lady, I can say that this token of wisdom will help their marriage be something that allows them many years of happiness.

Congratulations, Mike and Trish. I was an honor to witness your day and will be an honor to see where you go!

To each guest who made room for us in your family for one day, we thank you. Please enjoy reliving Mike and Trish's wedding through the view from our lenses .

Stephanie and Shane {Wedding}






Shane and Stephanie
October 10th, 2015
Sarchet Event Center , Platteville, CO

A pleasant surprise came a few months back when a dear friend of mine since our preteen years contacted me about photographing her sister-in-laws wedding. Jenny and I are both from a small rural area and it truly is an " everyone knows everyone " kind of place. So of course, I knew right away that she was talking about sweet Stephanie. While we weren't more than acquaintances while in school  because I was a few years ahead of her, her reputation of being kind and funny is known by many. I was so happy when we had their date open !

The day came full of sunshine with an almost cloudless blue sky. We spent the day with the Swartz/Edwards crowd laughing and , just as I knew it would be, we were welcomed in and felt right at home.

Stephanie and Shane said their "I do's" beneath a gazebo with the Colorado sun sinking behind the mountains and their friends and family around them. Their ceremony and venue was sprinkled with personal touches and mementos that represented Shane and Steph perfectly. She vowed to bait her own hook and he promised to put the toilet seat down . Together, they swore to never leave the others side.

We left the lovebirds dancing the night away , crowding the dance floor surrounded by those who mean the most to them . As Kristi and I drove home, we traded stories about things said or done and I was reminded how good it feels to be around " my people". Thank you , Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, for allowing us the privilege of photographing your day.

Below are links to Shane and Steph's gallery and photo slideshow. You are welcome to download photos directly from the host site using the PIN 2589 . The convenient  option to purchase photos directly from our professional lab and have them shipped to you is also available using the shopping cart function. Thank you to each guest who greeted us warmly and made room for us in your family for this special day. You made our job easy and fun.

Jon and Julie shared a "First Look" before the ceremony. It was a poignant  and funny moment shared between the two of them.


The wedding and reception were full of details. This detail was my favorite-a hat hung at the wedding and reception to represent Julie's dad, who passed away.

The photo booth area had us laughing all night. There was no shortness of creativity in that corner of the venue!

The dance floor was hopping all night and  was full of so many great dancers, big and little!

A beautiful couple , a beautiful day. We wish them the most beautiful marriage.
