Ok, I seriously hit the jackpot with these two people!! Super down to Earth, extremely chill with an amazing vision for their wedding. Even with circumstances like venues backing out on them, they stayed calm and their vision remained the same --Mountains, mountains mountains!! Which, luckily, here in Colorado, we have a TON of. In the end, Farrah and Jeremy decided to have their ceremony and reception at Farrah's Dad's beautiful cabin in Fairplay with many rockin' mountain views along the way!! 

Teresa (my awesome second shooter) and I showed up at this really cool modern house in Breckenridge to meet Farrah and Jeremy as they were getting ready. This place was full of such beautiful natural light and a ton of happy people! The two of them had decided to have their first look at an EPIC location in the Colorado Mountains  -- Sapphire Point! When I say epic, I mean epic. This location overlooks Dillon, Co and is seriously the coolest place to do a first look!! We took a few shots here and then took off to head to Boraes Pass, another amazing location!! After taking probably a little too long here, we headed straight to the cabin in Fairplay, Colorado to get these two hitched!! Farrah's Dad and family made such a beautiful area for his daughter and now son-in-law to get married. It was stunning and so perfectly personal! They finished the night with many toasts, a sunset toast, dancing (thanks to DJ Mags) and lots of smiles, laughter and love! We left this wedding with huge smiles on our faces and LOTS of images on our cameras (hence the out of character extra long blog post.) Even though it's been almost half a year since these two got married, Congrats again Mr. and Mrs. Mock! Your Colorado Intimate Wedding was perfect and I am so thankful and honored that I got to be a part of it!!

I can't believe that 2017 is ALMOST OVER!!! What a whirlwind of a year!! I constantly count myself as so lucky when thinking about the families and couples that I get to work with.. and this year was NO EXCEPTION! I don't usually blog many family sessions --most of the time it's just engagement and weddings -- so I figured the end of the year would be a good time to recap all of the fun I had this past year with my awesome families. From Milestone sessions, to Newborn sessions, to Mommy & Me sessions, to the busiest time of the year -- Christmas Card Photos :) Some families, I was even lucky enough to see more than once throughout the year!! I tried to share a bit from each session as they were all so equally special to me!! So, enjoy and Happy New Year!! Can't wait to see what the New Year brings! 

Just around 13 years ago, I met a girl that I had decided I didn't like on a recruiting trip to Fresno State. To my Dad's question of "what did you think?" I think I actually responded with "I really liked the team and everything, but I didn't really like that Kendra girl." And here we are all these years later, best friends. 

Kendra was in my wedding six years ago as my Maid of Honor and I had the pleasure to be her Matron of Honor this summer. So we packed up our little family and flew all the way to the Great White North to go be a part of Kendra and Kyle's big day. But, we couldn't fly all the way up there (with camera in tow) and not take a few Engagement pictures. 

And, of course, we had to get a picture together at her wedding courtesy of the wonderful and talented .Genevieve Georget

Then, in keeping up with the big year Kendra and Kyle are having.... they found out they are going to have a BABY!!!! Obviously, I couldn't take any announcement pictures way down here in Colorado while they are in Canada, so we did the next best thing!!! So excited for my best friend and can't wait to meet tiny Baby Atkins!!!! 

It feels like forever ago since these two wonderful people got married... when really, it was just a little under six months. That's how on top of my blogging I am!! I guess I can give myself a high five for the fact that I am blogging before Sam and Garrett celebrate their half year anniversary... barely!!! 

Sam and Garrett's wedding was my kind of wedding!! Their ceremony was filled with so much love and their reception was filled with so much happiness and TONS of celebration. These two are the kind of people that you meet once and instantly want to become best friends with... so sweet and so kind. It was only fitting that they got married surrounded by so many friends and family members who all celebrated with them into the night.
