I kicked off my 2013 wedding season in Vail, CO with the lovely Jaclyn and Chris at The Donovan Pavilion.

There is always something exciting about the first wedding of the season. I feel so refreshed and ready for all the new faces and places my camera takes me. Jaclyn and Chris are the owners of a quaint restaurant & bar tucked into a cozy little town near Vail. The kind of town where everyone knows you and all your business. The kind of town Norman Rockwell would paint for a Christmas edition of the saturday evening post.

Brian and I were lucky to have photographed such classy people while also enjoying a cozy little mountain getaway for the two of us.

Thank you Jaclyn and Chris for planning this truly elegant event. Thank you for being willing to try new things and for trusting my vision.

Long live love!

1st glance overlooking Vail valley. Breathtaking.

As mentioned in the previous post, I separated Lauren and Chris' Denver engagement session into two parts.

For the second, we went for a more upscale look and shot in the ritzy historic neighborhoods of Denver's Cherry Creek district.

This area is already charming but it's beauty transforms into a more whimsical fairytale setting during the beautiful Autumn months with luscious color at every turn. I loved it so much I decided to have my own family photographs taken at this location! :)

Thank you Lauren and Chris for your willingness to go with my vision and giving me the opportunity to create th

ese images. I greatly enjoyed you both and I can't wait to do it all again for your wedding in October!

Long live love!
