Tasia and Bernie | Engaged

Jessica — Fri, 18 May 2012 22:02:30 +0000

We met Tasia and Bernie about a month ago for their engagement session down in Larkspur, CO. They’d spent the entire morning scoping out the perfect spots in Larkspur to act as the backdrops for their engagement pictures…and they could not have done a better job! They definitely made out job super easy and we had so much fun following them around and off-roading to the perfect places…we could have shot out there all night! Tasia and Bernie’s love for each other is obvious. The way they hold each other…the way they smile at each other and make one another laugh. Surely they’re made for each other! Here are some of our favorites from their session…enjoy! :)

Tasia and Bernie – Congratulations, again! We feel so fortunate to capture these moments for you both and we wish you the best of luck!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Kelly and Scotty | Engaged

Jessica — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:37:28 +0000

Vail Village and the Colorado mountains were the perfect backdrop for Kelly and Scotty’s destination engagement session! This Florida couple loves skiing so much that they actually have local Epic Ski passes and try to come back to Colorado for 1 – 2 weeks during the winter. So we were so excited that we were able to squeeze in an engagement session for them while they were out for their little ski vacation in the Colorado mountains. After spending the afternoon with these two, we’re definitely bummed that we’ll miss the wedding this December! It sounds like it is going to be quite the party back in their home state of Alabama! Can’t wait to see some of the pictures of everything that they’re planning!

Congratulations, Kelly and Scotty! We loved getting to spend a couple of hours getting to hear more about your love story and capturing these moments for you both. Plus – your accents were adorable…we could’ve listened to you speak all day! :)

Here are a few of our favorites from their session…enjoy! Oh – and special thanks to Janine Gelsinger (Makeup by Janine) for driving up to the mountains to make Kelly look extra beautiful! Those bright red lips made the whole session! :)

Congratulations, Kelly and Scotty! We wish you the best of luck and be sure to look us up when you come back to Colorado!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Sara and Brent | Married

Jessica — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 04:15:10 +0000

He’s Jewish…she’s Christian. He’s Australian…she’s American. But the beautiful thing is – it doesn’t matter. Sara and Brent’s wedding was the perfect blend of both of their styles, religions and cultures. Their wedding reflected the two of them to a tee – both individually and together as a couple. We’re so happy that we were able to be there with Sara and Brent on their big day – and we know these two are going to have many wonderful adventures together as a married couple! Here are some of our favorites from their wedding up at the Boettcher Mansion in Golden, CO.

Special props to Sara’s mother, Gayle and Mark from Events Unwrapped – who did a great majority of the planning and prep work as the bride and groom live in Australia! The day was absolutely perfect and I know Sara and Brent greatly appreciated all of your hard work!

Check out those shoes…I love them!!!

Sara slipped into her wedding gown at her parents house – just a few minutes before the traditional bedeken ceremony.

She wore her grandmother’s ring – and her future father-in-law made shawls for each of the girls…

A few of Brent and the boys getting ready…

The bedeken ceremony…

We headed up to Red Rocks for a few wedding party pictures and some portraits of Sara and Brent before the ceremony began.

Seriously – those eyes are amazing, Sara!

Then we headed up to the Boettcher Mansion for a few more pictures before the ceremony…

There was still the perfect blanket of snow on the ground – just what Sara wanted!

The ketubah ceremony…

Then the wedding ceremony was ready to start…I love the look on Brent’s face when he saw Sara and her dad walking down the aisle.

She was pretty happy, too!

The reception looked amazing – thanks to Mark with Events Unwrapped.

Delicious cupcakes by The Makery…yum!

Their brothers served as the emcees for the reception – introducing each person before they gave their toast. They did a great job!

Sara and Brent had a very well choreographed first dance…there was even a lift!

Father-daughter, mother-son dance…

The horah…what a fantastic way to get everyone on the dance floor!

The dance floor was packed all night long!

Congratulations, Sara and Brent! We had so much fun working with you both and we wish you the absolute best!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Sara and Brent | Engaged

Jessica — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:09:38 +0000

Her father specifically told her…”Don’t move to Australia and fall in love with an Aussie.” She didn’t listen. :) We officially met Sara (and her lovely mother, Gayle) over the holidays – while she was back in Colorado finishing up some last minute wedding details. We knew that she was going to be so much fun to work with – and when we finally got to meet Brent the week before their wedding – it was easy to see that they were meant for each other. Two of a kind – completely at ease with each other – united with the same adventurous, warm spirit.

The whirlwind of a week that led up to their big day is not one they’ll forget soon…and decidedly one that their friends will laugh about for many years to come! Just days before Sara and Brent said “I Do” they took several friends and family members for a snowshoe/hut trip in the Colorado mountains…and ended up getting slightly lost. (Turned out they were only a few hundred yards from where they needed to be…but I’m sure that their family and friends were cursing the day that they agreed to such a thing!) Everything ended up being just fine…and the story will be one that they’ll continue to tell for many, many years.

To me…it’s the perfect representation of the right attitude to have towards a wedding. Inevitably…something will end up not going as planned. But as Sara and Brent said…”It doesn’t matter. At the end of the day you’re still marrying your best friend!” What could be more perfect than that?!? Many more pictures from their February wedding up at the Boettcher Mansion coming soon – but here are a few of Sara and Brent’s engagement pictures…enjoy!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Ann and Ryan | Engaged

Jessica — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:23:36 +0000

So…is it just me? Or have you noticed that there are a lot of Iowans living out here in Colorado, too?!? And do they all seem to know each other?!? :) But seriously…there are a lot! No complaints here though – every single one that I’ve met have been equally hilarious and nice! So when my sister – and her now fiance, Nick – heard that Ann and Ryan were getting married we were really excited to meet them (and secretly wishing that they’d want us to be the photographers!) After meeting the two of them – we knew it was going to be one heck of a good time!

It seems like so long ago that we photographed Ann and Ryan’s engagement session up in the Colorado mountains. It’s been a pretty mild winter out here in Colorado – and sadly, there isn’t much snow left! But there was still plenty of snow last month when we met them at the top of Loveland Pass. We had so much fun laughing and tromping through the snow with these two and we can’t wait for their wedding this June in Galena, IL and Dubuque, IA! Here are some of our favorites from their session…enjoy!

The view from Loveland Pass is truly spectacular – you really feel like you’re on top of the world.

They laugh a lot…and we LOVE that! :)

How gorgeous is Ann?!? :)

I promise – no one was injured while shooting this action shot of them skiing. Although it does look like their about to fall off the mountain if you ask me!

After shooting on Loveland Pass for a bit, we headed down around Lake Dillon for some more pictures…not a bad view here either!

Then we made our way to Frisco for a few more pictures in town…I love the light on these couple…

Who wouldn’t want their engagement pictures in front of the Frisco Psychic? :) This series makes up many of my favorites!

We found an old shed to add a bit of a rustic feel…

I always love shoe shots…just can’t help myself! :)

Congratulations, Ann and Ryan! We are so happy that you found us through your IA family out here in Colorado and we can’t wait for your big day! :)

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Tanya and Patrick | Engaged

Jessica — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:16:55 +0000

We’ve absolutely loved being able to photograph the weddings of so many friends and family members over the past 6 years! And we can pretty easily say that we wouldn’t be where we are today without their love, encouragement and trust…so when Andrew’s cousin Tanya got engaged, we definitely hoped that we would get to be there to take the pictures! We were both so excited when we heard that Patrick had proposed…in Disneyland none the less! It’s been far too long since we’ve had a wedding in the Schaefer family (the last one was our own – nearly 7 years ago)…so we’re already counting down the days for their wedding this June in Arizona.

We met Tanya and Patrick (along with many more members of the giant Schaefer clan) in Las Vegas in January. We headed out for some fun, vintage-inspired engagement pictures at the Neon Museum during the day – and wrapped up with a few pictures on the Las Vegas Strip at night. We had such a great time and we can’t wait for the wedding!

Here are a few (a lot) of our favorites…enjoy! :)

Tanya and Patrick – Congrats again! We are so happy and excited for you and we’re looking forward to the many adventures that life brings your way!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Just a little sneak peek of Tanya and Patrick’s engagement session in Las Vegas – check back tomorrow for more! :)

Kaitlin and Tj | Engaged

Jessica — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 00:03:05 +0000

We love spending time in the Colorado mountains…even if only for a few hours! So when Kaitlin and Tj contacted us about doing an engagement session up in the Rocky Mountains…we couldn’t resist! Kaitlin and Tj are getting married in Lancaster, Pennsylvania…and we had such a great time shooting their engagement session that we wish we could go to their rustic-inspired farm wedding – it’s sure to be an amazing time! We met Kaitlin and Tj on the top of Loveland Pass – if you’ve never been up there you should definitely go…it feels like you’re on the top of the world and the views are spectacular! Here are a few of our favorites from their session…enjoy!

Love the look of the fence in this one…

Kaitlin – you are crazy beautiful! I love the picture on the right…

It was a little (okay…a lot) windy and a bit cold – but they were such troopers! :)

I adore this sequence of them walking…

There’s Boomer…Kaitlin and Tj’s cute pup…

I like the picture with Boomer looking back at the two of them…pretty cute!

Gorgeous…

We headed into Breckenridge for a few more photos…

Tj patiently waited until the end of the session to wear his hat (something he rarely goes without) so we made sure to get a few shots with the hats too! Super cute! :)

Kaitlin and Tj – Congrats again! We feel so fortunate that we were able to meet you while you were out in Breck and we can’t wait to see some of the pictures from the wedding!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Corrie and Scott | Married

Jessica — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:56:55 +0000

Winter weddings are quickly becoming some of our favorites! Especially when the weather cooperates and provides a perfect blanket of snow on the ground…and beautiful sunshine and blue skies for the wedding day. Corrie and Scott hoped for just that type of weather for their wedding last month up at the Boettcher Mansion in Golden, Colorado…and I think they got just what they hoped for! We had such a great time working with this laid back Seattle couple…here are a few of our favorites from their big day…

How amazing are these shoes? I love you, Anthropologie! :)

Scott getting ready with the guys…

Special thanks to Becky with Sixpence Weddings for helping with some of the amazing details and making the whole day run smoothly!

Love the cowboy boots, too!

Bling, bling.

Corrie getting into her dress and finishing up the last minute details before she and Scott shared their “first look”.

I think his expression says it all. He was one happy groom! :)

And clearly she’s deeply head over heels for him too!

This is why I love Colorado! Check out that view!

Scott with his parents…just minutes before the ceremony began.

Two of my favorites of Corrie with her Dad…

The parents watching as the ceremony takes place…

The fireplace in the Fireside Room at the Boettcher Mansion is a beautiful backdrop for an indoor ceremony!

They did it! :)

This moment is always one of my favorites. When the bride and groom have just walked out of the ceremony and have their first moment to take a breath and celebrate…it’s always full of emotion!

Corrie and Scott had some really cute on-lookers too! :)

The wedding party…

We took a few more of the two of them after the ceremony…

A quiet moment before Corrie and Scott walked into their reception…

I adore the Mason jars and wooden table numbers that Corrie and Scott used in their centerpieces…and check out how cool those paper flowers are!

In lieu of a guestbook, Corrie and Scott had their guests sign an antique ski and a hockey stick – two of their favorite sports!

Ready made s’mores and creme brulee…yum! Corrie and Scott actually first met at a friends wedding where they shared their creme brulee for dessert…so it was a must at their wedding!

Corrie’s grandmother started off the speeches by reading a beautiful Valentine from her late husband – amazing.

The first dance…

Grandma was getting down on the dance floor – love it! :)

Corrie and Scott – Congratulations! We are so happy for you both and we feel so very fortunate to have been there with you to capture these wonderful memories!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)
