Missy + Chad | Engaged

I had so much fun with Missy and Chad, that I accidentally called Chad, “Dan.” It was quite a hilarious moment, as I’m sure we will make some more “Dan” jokes at the wedding. Either way, we had a great time, and it felt like we were friends from way back. Thanks Missy and Chad for being rad people, and making my job a breeze. :)

Molly + Ben | Breckenridge Destination Wedding

My trip back in April to Breckenridge was nothing but a positive experience.

I shot quite a few personal frames on the trip, and you guys have seen a couple of them here and here previously. I also assisted the wonderful photographer Kat Braman shoot a wedding, and it was perfect. I know we generally say that about every wedding, but this one truly was.

The weather, light, and people made this the perfect day. Aside from making new friends I managed to get a couple of shots I liked. Here are a few of my faves. There are many more of my shots on Kat’s blog. So check them out here.
