Chad + Megan | Blue Lake Ranch WEDDING | Destination Wedding Photographer

I am quite sure you remember this lovely couple from their e-session last fall, which was published in Durango Weddings Magazine.  This lovely couple is from Denver and are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.   It was a busy but beautiful day for a wedding filled with lots of love and my favorite, lots of details!  God was there, the minister and Chad and Megan made sure of that.  They had a truly special ceremony that included family and guests holding a stone while a special prayer for the couple was said.  The stones were collected for the couple to bless their home with.

The bride’s brother gave her away and there were lots of touching moments between them and all of the family members.  One of my fav guests and moments was Megan’s grandpa, who stole a dance with Megan and laughed at every opportunity.  The flower girl and ring bearer danced the night away till the end, impressive. The wedding party was fun loving and the parents super supportive.  The food and cake by Yellow Carrot was amazing as usual.

Chad and Megan, enjoy your sneak peek and thanks so much for including me so graciously into your day.  And, everyone else, if your short on time, scroll down to the bottom for some rocking nighttime Bride & Groom images!

Matthew + Desirae Wedding | Durango Mountain Resort | Durango Wedding Photographer

What a lovely day for a wedding at DMR.  Matthew and Desirae have been together since before high school if I am not mistaken, so the families are all super close and so W-H-A-T a fun reception.  Even I couldn’t help dancing a little;<)  Both the couple and their families were full of love and life.  Their ceremony was just perfect.  It was a privilege being a part of your day.

 

This was a really glamorous wedding, loved the sparkles and glitter.  The daddy daughter moments always get to me and there were no shortage of them here.

Congratulations, blessings, and best wishes you two.  Enjoy your sneak peek…

Tyrel + Kendra Wedding | Echo Basin Ranch | Durango Wedding Photographer

Introducing the cordial and lovely Tyrel and Kendra.  They met in college, he from Bayfield and she from California.  She is a rodeo queen and I do believe he is a real cowboy…  We had a down home celebration.  The couple knew exactly what they did and didn’t want from their photographer, so you will see no fancy finishes or edits, no mushy couple images, just lots of love and lots of family and friends amidst a sea of cowboy hats and boots!   There were a lot of moments to speak of but my fav was when Tyrel got up to say Blessings over the meal and someone yelled out (while waving his cowboy hat) “Don’t ever be afraid to thank the Lord.”  With his fine permission, I think I’m gonna use that one…

Enjoy your sneak peek Tyrel & Kendra, it was a pleasure being a part of your day:<)

Engagement Shoot | Durango Wedding Photographer

Meet Sarah and Aaron.  We had some fun up North in the Aspens and mountains.  Sarah wanted something Colorado.  Aaron didn’t want anything to serious… Their puppy is their baby and so we got him in a few too!  These 2 are so compatible and lighthearted, I thought this is a good one, they really know how to laugh together.

I am shooting their wedding in the fall at Silver Pick lodge.  Will be a really great one!

Thanks guys.  Enjoy your sneak peek.
