Elizabeth and Tyler chose to get married at what might be the most beautiful wedding venue in Colorado – Dunton Hot Springs – where they housed all of their guests, soaked in hot springs, hiked around the mountains, and ate the most incredible food all weekend. Dunton is a legendary place. Its an old ghost town that's been completely renovated. Set way back in the mountains several miles down a dirt road, it feels rustic & secluded, while also nodding to modern taste – the collection of contemporary photography hanging on the walls made my art student heart so happy. The place is stunning in all aspects.

Kristin and Scott's wedding felt so right. so pure. They rented a house for all of their friends and family in Breckenridge and had their ceremony in the backyard, surrounded by aspens and pine trees. It was perfectly intimate in this way that made Nate and me feel like just another part of the family. 

Emma & David's intimate wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch represented the transition into spring all the same--trees beginning to bud, the creek running through the property starting to melt, warm string lights being turned on at the beginning of wedding season. Emma & David seemed relaxed, yet excited, and filled to the brim with all the emotion that comes with a day as important as their wedding. We watched from corners of bedrooms and the middle of pine forests, capturing photos as these two experienced the fullness of joy, passion, and gratitude as they entered into a new life together.

Jeremy & Charleigh are two of the most down to earth, genuine people we've ever been around. We hadn't met Charleigh and Jeremy before we took their engagement photos, but immediately afterward we felt like we'd known them a long time. I'm not trying to be mushy here when I say these two have the warmest hearts, and it makes me incredibly happy that they found each other. They totally deserve to be together.

I get emotional at most weddings (I guess I love weddings or something?) but I was having a particularly difficult time holding back tears during Charleigh & Jeremy's ceremony. Their officiant spoke beautifully about the gospel and its implications in marriage, and about the biblical motives husbands and wives are called to maintain. It reminded me of hearing all of those things at my wedding and feeling the weight of it all.
