my favorite stories 

Some wedding days feel extra special, not because they’re grand or elaborate, but because they’re so deeply personal. Zach and Ally’s September celebration was exactly that: joyful, romantic, and filled with laughter that made everyone in the room feel like family.

A May wedding in Chicago—spring blooms and the city skyline. It started on the perfect note with a rehearsal dinner at Tanta Chicago. The entire wedding weekend felt like one big hug from the people Nate and Bella love most. You could tell every guest was hand-picked and every moment intentional.

Here are some of my best tips on how to plan your wedding reception to ensure every moment is captured beautifully.

From flower children to confetti exits, these tips help you plan your wedding ceremony in a stress-free way that reflects your love story.

For me, it means honoring your story. I’m not just here to take pictures—I’m here to feel what you feel and capture it in a way that brings those emotions rushing back for years to come.

There’s something really incredible about a wedding that is truly about the couple. Carter and Faith’s Crested Butte intimate wedding at Mountain Wedding Garden was exactly that: deeply personal, beautifully simple, and overflowing with love.

This intimate destination wedding will forever have a special place in my heart. Not only because Brooklyn and Chayce are truly the sweetest humans, but because I had the chance to document their day high in the Swiss Alps, surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery.

The morning before their Estes Park wedding, Brent and Morgan shared an intimate vow exchange in Rocky Mountain National Park—just the two of them, surrounded by mountain views and golden light.

Mark and Morgan’s Taharaa Mountain Lodge wedding in Estes Park was full of love, views, and the sweetest moments. This cozy mountain venue is a dream, I am so grateful I got to capture it.

Lindsay and Blake opted to have an intimate backyard wedding at their family’s farm near Lincoln Nebraska. The equestrian, black, gold, and classy style fit their personalities in a way that made the day even more personal and celebratory. We even got to do photos with Lindsay’s horse! This was truly a no-fuss kind of day where the focus was to celebrate with friends who came from far and near.
