      Got to photograph the most beautiful Rocky Mountai Got to photograph the most beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park elopement day last week. These two got married at their Air Bnb in Estes, surrounded by their immediate family, and their adorable corgi puppy Gus (who also signed as their witness with his paw on their marriage license 😍). After their ceremony we headed up to the top of a Trail Ridge Road to explore, drink beer, and take photos. Such a beautiful day, that I was so lucky to be a part of.
      This is one of my favorite shoots to date. The win This is one of my favorite shoots to date. The wind, the tattoos, the landscape 😍 Everything about it was a dream, and these two were so much freaking fun, running around, exploring without a care in the world.
      There is nothing like watching the sun rise behind There is nothing like watching the sun rise behind half dome. The way the light floods in through the valley is unlike anything I've ever see before. Such a magical morning with these two ✨
      Finally breaking my Instagram hiatus to share this Finally breaking my Instagram hiatus to share this beautiful Joshua Tree vow renewal. These two got ready together in the most amazing Air Bnb, then we headed out for their sunset ceremony surrounded by Joshua trees and beautiful rock formations. They read the sweetest vows to each other and then we explored around the park, and popped some champagne to celebrate. Such a perfect day in the desert ✨ H&MU: @leannamarieartistry
      I had such a blast with Samantha and Derrick explo I had such a blast with Samantha and Derrick exploring the Valley of Fire State Park. We chose this spot because we wanted to shoot somewhere unique and a bit off the beaten path, and it did not disappoint. As we were driving into the park, we reached the top of a huge hill overlooking the entire valley below us, and everyone in the car said "whoa" at the exact same time 😂 The entire evening felt like we were exploring a different planet, not to mention we basically had the entire place to ourselves. This place, and these two definitely made the 10 hours of driving worth it 👍🏻
      After a crazy busy past few days, 4 shoots in 4 am After a crazy busy past few days, 4 shoots in 4 amazing locations, 3 sunrise wake up calls, over 30 hours in the car, and over 2,000 miles of driving, I'm finally back home with my boys. I'm exhausted, but my heart is so full from this past weekend of adventures. I can't wait to share more magic from this weekend, but for now enjoy this photo from Zion that I'm absolutely obsessed with. And to all the brides out there, if you are looking for a flowy, magical work of art to wear on your wedding day, @nordeenbridal is the designer for you. I was lucky enough to photograph one of her gorgeous dresses, and I can't recommend them enough. The perfect dress for an adventure elopement ✨
