Engaged at Garden of the Gods
A Garden of the Gods engagement session in Colorado Springs featuring sweeping views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range. I took Jordyn and Matt to my secret spot over at Garden of the Gods. Not too many people hang out over where I like to go and I like it that way. This engagement session was extra special because Jordyn is the niece of one of my favorite people in the world. I swear, their genes run strong because Jordyn and her Aunt Courtney look so much alike. So beautiful in all the ways.
Jordyn and Matt are extra special people for yet another reason. They are pediatric nurses. Matt is diabetic and he didn’t say it but I am sure that his profession probably has something to do with his experiences as a child and wanting to help those babes who need all the love and understanding they can get while in his care. Navigating whatever new thing has come their way is super scary and having someone on your side is the absolute best. What they do is amazing work and I love that I got to witness their love firsthand.

When I got finally got to go through their gallery, COVID, I am looking at you, not. my. friend, I was in love with the authentic moments that I was able to document for them. They had never had photos done before and I could tell they were both super nervous and “didn’t know what to do with their hands”. Well, Jordyn, Matt, as you can see, ya’ll did amazing. Look at your love. You are ENGAGED and the world knows! Ahhh!!!!
Babes. Congratulations on your engagement and a HUGE thank you for waiting to take your photos until you visited Colorado! I feel super grateful for you and know that your wedding will also be something that dreams are made of. Can I come too? xo
Nebraska Sandhills Wedding in Alliance
August 1, 2020 share two important things in common for me. Your beautiful wedding day and my birthday! I can honestly say, it was the perfect way to spend my day. Nebraska holds a special place in my heart. The prairie, the Sandhills, cowboy life, and everything that goes along with it. Nebraska weddings are simply untouched in regard to everyone making you feel at home. I felt that while I was there, hard. Everyone made me feel like family and I cannot thank them enough.
Nebraska Sandhills Wedding at the Brogan Ranch
Shelby + Brady. I don’t think anyone has as big of hearts as you two. During your engagement session, I could tell that you two love hard and true. From the way he looks at you to the way you hold his arm in yours. Your love is a match made in the stars. Thank you for inviting me out to the Sandhills to celebrate with you.

Some of my favorite highlights of the day include:
Shelby trusting me to just walk into her home, like we had been friends for years.
The decorations, oh wow. My daughter is convinced that even though we no longer live in Nebraska, she is going to have a cowboy wedding.
The people. I know I already mentioned it but I want to say it again. The NICEST folks you will ever meet.
Sewing Shelby’s dress back together, not only once, but twice. Thanks, mom for those sewing lessons when I was a kid!
The horse-drawn wagon was seriously everything and the Qualms are beautiful people. It was nice to see some of them again!
On the way back from wedding party photos, Shelby and Brady wanted to stop to check the mail. This was hilarious and unexpected. What was also unexpected was the “Antioch Variety Pack” that was in the mailbox too. Blackberry Brandy and Fireball duct tapped together. It doesn’t get more Nebraska than that!
Having the couple take photos in the “stink weeds”. haha. They sure are pretty though with those purple flowers!
All the dancing. Oh, the dancing. The dancing is my favorite part. I missed the country dancing and this wedding had plenty of it.
Most of all, my favorite part of the wedding was seeing the genuine love radiate from Shelby and Brady for their family and friends. It was one hell of a party.
Friends, I invite you to soak up their day by clicking play on the slideshow above. The song made me tear up before I even placed the images with it. Get those tissues handy, you are in for some Western Nebraska love and you don’t want to miss it.
Are you looking for your wedding photographer? Someone you can connect with and document your day the way you always dreamed? I take on only a handful of weddings yearly and I would love to work with you, especially if there are cowboy hats involved. I also would love to work with you if you are planning a private, small wedding, elopement, or something in between. I leave the big fancy church weddings to others though, as it just isn’t my jam.

Adventure Engagement Session in Cheyenne Wyoming
Shelby and I carefully planned out their Rocky Mountain National Park engagement session. Things didn’t go quite as planned when COVID-19 forced the park closed and for us to reevaluate our options to get them the engagement session they had waited so long for.
Sun soaked Travel Engagement Session with Colorado Photographer in Wyoming
Shelby and her handsome rancher fiance Brady were put in contact with me through Breanna Rein of Rein Photography, she’s a Nebraska family, wedding and senior photographer you can check out by clicking here. Shelby was looking for a wedding photographer and our styles and vibe were similar, we were a match waiting to happen.

We made a new plan to meet in Cheyenne, Wyoming at a location that I can only say surprised me. It was beautiful, in the middle of nowhere, and all ours to explore.
My daughter and I drove up early the day of their session and scouted this new haven. So much to see and the day was so beautiful. I hiked over 8 miles that day looking for the perfect spots to take them. It was worth every aching muscle a few days after haha.
Shelby and Brady hiked with me, through the marsh, along the trails and explored barefoot by the water. It was the perfect day that sealed with the most amazing sun-soaked sunset. The light drenched us and it made my soul feel warm and happy.
Going on adventures with beautiful couples for their engagement session makes for days that I can be thankful for. Days that I can remember and that they can remember too. These are my favorite images from their engagement session in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Cheyenne Canyon Couples Session in Colorado Springs
I always meet clients prior to their session (yes, ALL of my clients save mini sessions) and during that meeting, Yulia said something I will carry with me always. When I asked her what she loved most about her relationship with Logan, she didn’t take much time to ponder and told me that she loves how each day is like a new high for her. Some relationships start off high and you are continually trying to get that feeling back. For Yulia and Logan, their relationship started slowly and continues to build, one day upon the next, getting better with each breath. I can’t top that. Wow. What a love.
Colorado Springs Couples Session with a Mountain View
I first met Yulia during my time working for the Quad Innovation Partnership at Colorado College. While working for the Quad, I spent a lot of my time in the basement of Loyal Coffee in downtown Colorado Springs, where the Quad hosts its student-lead programs. Yulia was always so extra sweet to me and I felt drawn to her vibe, if that’s even a thing. She also makes the BEST toast. Ask my daughter, Emma, she will agree.
Yulia and I got to chatting and she told me that she was engaged. I love to give back to those who make me feel extra special so I offered her a no strings attached engagement session for her and her love. Partly because it feels wonderful to be able to give back to those who deserve it and partly because there is something special about “shooting for yourself”. Creative freedom is something that I want to keep alive in my soul and Yulia was so sweet and let me run with their session.

Here are some of my favorites from their session. They show their authentic love. They show their soulful connection. These images highlight simple love. The best kind.
