love. 
i am so blessed by the people i meet through photography, and i am incredibly excited to work with stacey and justin! when i first got to chat with stacey, it was like getting to catch up with an old friend. Isn’t it such a great feeling when conversation comes that easily? for their engagement session, we met at lair o’ the bear park in morrison as a last minute location change, and i took advantage of every last drop of sunlight! i’m so looking forward to stacey and justin’s wedding at crooked willow farms this summer!
natasha’s dad gave james and each of his groomsmen a pendant of pounamu {greenstone}. in the maori culture it’s considered a treasure, and its prestige increases as it’s passed from one generation to another… thank you wikipedia!
natasha and james’ della terra wedding was perfect from beginning to end! maybe it was because they’re new zealanders – i’m not quite sure – but they were two of the most laid back people i’ve ever had the pleasure to photograph, and their family and friends were the same way! i couldn’t have asked for a better wedding start off my 2013 wedding season! cheers to a lovely couple and best wishes for a lifetime of happiness!
natasha and james’ della terra wedding was the perfect start to my wedding season, and i’m looking forward to sharing lots more soon!
i just have to geek out for a minute.
the light in this house was crazy. amazing. beautiful. i would give {almost} anything to be surrounded with light like it for the rest of my life.
the future mr. and mrs. smith… minus the assassin part. they’re way too in love for that! {see what i mean about the light?}
jenny’s uncle has a fantastic car collection, and this was one of her favorites. can you blame her?
and then we headed into the blizzard…
i had such fun on this shoot, and i have to thank aly and beth with bio photography for trusting me to take their wedding clients’ engagement photos. aly had plans to drive from pueblo to do this shoot, but the blizzard was going to make that quite a challenge, so i volunteered to help.
of course when i offered my help, i just assumed that it would only be an inch or two of snow. what do they say about assuming? well it snowed and snowed so much that i was terrified to take my toyota 2runner out of the driveway. i managed to make it about three miles away from my house before i tried downshifting on a hill and spun into another lane. thankfully nobody was beside me, but i was shaking in terror and decided my car couldn’t make it. thankfully matt had a 4wd suv, so he came to pick me up so we could continue with the planned shoot.
when we drove up and matt pointed to the house we would be shooting in, i had a huge sigh of relief! even the blizzard couldn’t keep us from the beautiful sunlight.
i had a fantastic time getting to know jenny and matt, and i know that aly and beth are going to have the best time at their wedding. i felt at ease the minute i met them, and their love shines through in every photo.
