Woodland Park Colorado Wedding at Edgewood Inn

Boho Wedding at the Edgewood Inn in Woodland Park, Colorado

I first got to meet Carly and Corey during their engagement session. They had booked my Full Wedding Coverage collection and with it, I include a complimentary engagement session. It is so important to get to know the couples that I spend time with on their wedding day. It allows us to have a deeper connection and comfortability right from the start.

Carly and Corey, like most 2020 couples, had to change their wedding plans due to COVID. Their venue was no longer able to support their guest list so they opted to find another venue. In all honesty, the change, I think, was for the better. The Edgewood Inn in Woodland Park proved to offer an amazing space and views of our magnificent mountain, Pikes Peak.

Carly and Corey’s family and friends were nothing short of beautiful and kind to me. They made me feel at home even though we had just met. Carly’s girls were each so special to her and it was so apparent that they adored her. I mean, how could they not? She is truly a gem of a person as was evident by the speech given by her maid of honor. I was full of stories about how selfless Carly was. In particular, I will forever remember the story of her jumping in to save her pup Xena from some icy water she had fallen into. What a person.

There were many times during their day that I had to fight back tears. Their love is something that you hold in your heart as something to strive for, to obtain so luckily for yourself. Their infectious smiles and warmth filled every nook and cranny of the spaces they occupied and it was wondrous.

They say that when it rains on your wedding day, it’s a sign of extremely good luck. I am here to witness that it not only rained on their day, it poured. However, the rain did give us a small break to go out to the mountains. When the clouds cleared, it was the most beautiful sight. Carly, Corey, and their friends trusted me to guide them through their photos on the hillside even though we were on and off being peppered by rainfall. For that, I thank them. I had a vision for this day. Moody. Soulful. Warm. Spirited. It all came together on that hillside with the rain, wind, clouds, and mountains in view. It was perfectly perfect.

To fully trust me with their day, that is a gift they gave me. To give up control. They let me guide them with my professional experience and expertise. I cannot envision a higher compliment that I could receive than allowing me to document your wedding day in my own head and space. To allow me to be creative and guide you for the best photos you could ever dream of. They did that, and it was killer.

Can I do that for you too? Can I help you craft your wedding day timeline for the perfect photos? Can I help ease the burden of planning? Can you give me your day and let me show you how we can make it all work and work well? I would love to connect with you if you are in search of your perfect photographer fit.

Pikes Peak View Maternity Session in Woodland Park

A Lifetime Waiting, a Maternity Session in Woodland Park

Ten years. That is a long time to wait for something you want so badly. Their time is finally here though and it is the best damn thing in this world. Lauran and Colt have waited so long for this. Ready to be parents. Arms open and warm. The thing is, when you have to wait so long for something, when it finally happens, you cherish it. I mean really cherish it. Every moment. Every feeling. Every thought. I am here for it friends. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with me. I cannot say enough how honored I am to be the one who sets these moments in stone.

Lauran reached out to me to book a maternity/newborn bundle session. With each client, I send a questionnaire over to understand their why for wanting a session. I will admit, I cried happy tears when Lauran shared their story with me. I couldn’t wait to talk to her during our pre-session video call. To tell her how happy I was that she picked me. I know there are a lot of options out there for someone to document your story and the fact that she (and Colt) chose me to tell their story for me, that’s a feeling beyond words.

In just a few short days I get to meet this sweet girl of theirs. I get to see who she looks like more. I get to witness that undying love between a mother and her babe. Those first snuggles. Those first kisses. Those first moments that are ever so fleeting and gone before you know it. I know it sounds cheesy to say “I love documenting” but this is different. In the future, when they are done changing diapers and their babe heads off to college, they can look back at these and remember what it took to get to this point. To be here. Thank you for including me in your authentically beautiful journey. From the bottom of my heart.

Interested in talking with me about how I can create a gallery like this for you? Send me a message and tell me your why. I would love to soulfully capture your pregnancy and those first moments of your sweet babes life. Truly.
