I have no idea where to start with expressing how I feel about these amazing people…Liz & I go way back, I mean WAY back. My Dad grew up in the small town of Cannon Falls, MN with Liz’s Mom Sue, Uncle Doug & Aunt Cak so naturally, as midwest small town standards go, we are all family! I bet I first met Liz when she was just a few months old.
Liz moved from the east coast to Boulder a few years ago and when I received a Facebook message from her saying “I’m getting married!” I got so excited envisioning the great celebration that was about to happen. I was honored to be able to capture the love shared between Liz & Brian AND I even got to be a guest!
Liz & Brian, what a glorious day this was…love you guys!


We were at Planet Bluegrass and had truely classic early Autumn Colorado weather.

















So much love and so much laughter!


And so begins the point when I swapped my “Wedding Photographer Hat” for my “Have a Couple Drinks, Shake my Booty and be a Guest Hat”
I tried to trick myself into thinking I can handle being at a wedding without quenching my crazy desire to capture some of the fun moments happening…it’s near to impossible! So I used my iPhone instead of my Nikon.
And then I picked up my Nikon again…

Meet Carly…a dear friend of Brian’s who makes my eyes grow big with her lucious images. I was SO glad to shoot alongside this fun lady…she let me play with her new tilt-shift lense during the reception!
Oh Hipstamatic, I love you.
