Ashlee + Carl's invitation suite was such a lovely detail of their day. They are romantic, whimsical, and natural all at the same time. I loved that this suite is addressed to some pretty well known characters, and hints at one of their mutual loves. . . . . . #engaged #justengaged #engagement #coloradoengagementphotographer #weddingphotographer #isaidyes #howheasked #engagedlife #coloradoweddingphotographer #boulderwedding #weddinginvitation #coloradowedding #weddingplanning #invitationsuite #shesaidyes #gettingmarried #coloradoengagement #wereengaged #zelda #link #calligraphy #boulderweddingphotographer #nerdybrides #engagementphotographer #weddingdetails #legendofzelda #watercolor #weddinginvitationsuite
One of my favorite frames from my bestfriend's engagement session last summer before she moved to Oregon with her hubby to be. They moved away so that they could start their dream of living more naturally from their own land, wake up surrounded by nature every day, and be away from the hustle and bustle of town life. I say town because we grew up in a small town, and it was big enough for me. In fact, I still live in my hometown and for the most part love it. I have never been much of a city girl, and feel most at home in the mountains, away from tall buildings and concrete. I love wide open spaces, homemade dinners, and doing yoga on my deck in our back yard. I do however love a date night out with my husband or friends every week! Balance friends. It's what life is all about. . . . . . #engaged #justengaged #engagement #coloradoengagementphotographer #weddingphotographer #isaidyes #howheasked #engagedlife #coloradoweddingphotographer #rockymountainnationalpark #coloradowedding #weddingplanning #estesparkweddingphotographer #rmnp #shesaidyes #gettingmarried #landscape #estesparkengagement #estespark #coloradoengagement #wereengaged #estesparkengagement #adventurebrides #engagementphotographer #engagementpictures #loveandwildhearts #radlovestories #epicloveepiclife #adventuresession
Grow through what you go through. A phrase I am learning to embrace in my everyday life. Through the chaos, distractions, comparison game we play with ourselves, and the not so ideal situations we find ourselves in, we need to keep growing. Find the new you through every season of change, bloom where you are planted, and branch out to experience new things. Life requires us to keep moving, so don't be afraid.

Aquamarine, how pretty is this engagement ring?! It was just the perfect fit for Chloe's finger, and I have to admit that I was instantly enamored with it. Did you know that it's my birthstone? My birthday is March 27th, so I'm an Aries. Aries are fire signs, known for being passionate, stubborn, impulsive, honest, comfortable-clothes-wearing leaders. It's no wonder that I love being a small business so much, wear leggings or a comfy dress every day, and follow my heart wherever it leads me. Yepp, that's me. Aries to a T. Does your Zodiac sign fit you, or do you roll your eyes and shrug your shoulders when reading about it? I want to know! . . . . . #engaged #justengaged #engagement #coloradoengagementphotographer #weddingphotographer #isaidyes #howheasked #engagedlife #engagementrings #weddingrings #coloradoweddingphotographer #aquamarine #aquamarinering #zodiac #aries #coloradowedding #weddingplanning #engagementring #weddingrings #shesaidyes #gettingmarried #estesparkengagement #coloradoengagement #wereengaged #ringshot #adventurebrides #engagementphotographer #engagementpictures #engagementphotos
What do you do if it's supposed to rain on the day of your engagement session? Well if it's not too cold, maybe just do it anyways! HOW DREAMY IS THIS SETTING THOUGH? I loved this notebook moment Taylar and Tim shared during their engagement session at the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield. Sometimes when something gets in your way, you just have to embrace the obstacle, and use it to your advantage! You'll probably learn something along the way too. . . . . . #engaged #justengaged #engagement #coloradoengagementphotographer #weddingphotographer #isaidyes #howheasked #engagedlife #coloradoweddingphotographer #gardenengagementshoot #coloradowedding #weddingplanning #fortcollinsweddingphotographer #rain #engagementsession #adventuresession #shesaidyes #gettingmarried #coloradoengagement #wereengaged #boulderweddingphotographer #adventurebrides #engagementphotographer #engagementpictures #loveandwildhearts #radlovestories #epicloveepiclife #adventuresession
My favorite part of engagement sessions is really getting to know the couples I work with. I love learning about the things that brought you together, keep you together, and what matters the most to you! When I first talked to Shannon, I learned that she and Edwen met while working in the cruise ship industry. He was a scuba diving instructor, and she was performing as a professional dancer for the cruise line. These two clearly have a love for travel and adventure, and I knew we needed to show off their mutual passions for the outdoors and dance. Shannon grew up in Colorado, so they chose to have their wedding here. Their engagement session was SO MUCH FUN because it was so uniquely them, and seriously epic! If you're still looking for a wedding photographer, I would love to get to know you! We can plan an engagement session that tells your story, and illustrates your love. . . . . . #engaged #justengaged #engagement #coloradoengagementphotographer #weddingphotographer #isaidyes #howheasked #engagedlife #rockymountainweddingphotographer #rockymountainengagementphotographer #coloradoweddingphotographer #rockymountainnationalpark #coloradowedding #weddingplanning #estesparkweddingphotographer #rmnp #shesaidyes #gettingmarried #estesparkengagement #coloradoengagement #wereengaged #boulderweddingphotographer #adventurebrides #engagementphotographer #engagementpictures #loveandwildhearts #radlovestories #epicloveepiclife #adventuresession
