University of Florida Wedding | Rachel & Daniel

 
 

One of my favorite things about Rachel and Daniel is how adventurous they are. When I first spoke with them, they had recently returned home from backpacking around the world. I knew our adventurous personalities would be a great fit!

Rachel and Daniel had a gorgeous wedding in the heart of the University of Florida. As a UCF Knight, I haven’t had the chance to spend much time on the UF campus, but I love it! Their ceremony took place at the Baughman Center, and the reception was at the Hippodrome. Rachel and Daniel decided to have their First Look on the steps of the Hippodrome, and it was pretty magical and super-special!

We loved getting to know their bridal party, family, and friends throughout the day. Rachel and Daniel are surrounded by so many people who love and support them, and it was our honor to get to play a role in their big day.

Rachel and Daniel, thank you so much for inviting Marco and me to capture your day! We can’t wait to see where your life together takes you, and we know it will be nothing short of exciting. Congratulations!

 
 

Paradise Cove Wedding | Corban & Carli

 
 

Our good friends Corban and Carli got married a couple of weeks ago, and Marco and I had the privilege of shooting their wedding! Marco and Corban have known each other since high school, and I’ve loved getting to know Carli over the last few years. They are both so sweet and loving, a ton of fun, and just all-around great friends.

We were SO excited when they got engaged, and we knew they would have an awesome wedding celebration. Corban and Carli love all things nautical, so they decided to have their wedding at the gorgeous Paradise Cove, near Disney World. It was the perfect venue for them, and they added so many personal touches. One unique thing they did was have Corbin and the groomsmen arrived for the ceremony in a speedboat! Marco even got to hitch a ride, so we definitely got some fun shots of them enroute.

Corban and Carli, thank you for inviting us to be part of your day in such a personal way! We loved getting to capture special pictures for you and your families. We are so excited for you both and your journey together as husband and wife. Congratulations!

 
 

Spruce Mountain Ranch Engagement | Emily & Joel

Because we’re now working in both Florida and Colorado, I’ve been traveling back and forth pretty frequently, and I love the variety of our shoots and weddings and getting to know so many great people in each state. For Emily’s and Joel’s engagement session, we ran into some crazy Colorado spring weather and had snow that day! Emily and Joel decided to embrace it, and I think it’s pretty clear that it paid off. I loved getting to explore their venue, Spruce Mountain Ranch, and get to know them more that day. Marco and I can’t wait for their wedding in a few weeks!

 
 

Palmer Lake, Colorado Wedding | Alyssa & Jimmy

 
 

When Marco and I first met Alyssa and Jimmy, we knew we loved them! Alyssa and Jimmy are both incredibly sweet, very easy-going, and down for anything. They even followed us up a mountain in the snow for their engagement session!

Before we met with them on their big day, we did some extra scouting at their venue, The Historic Pinecrest, planning some portrait locations. One of the best things about our job is getting to explore new areas. We turned down nearby roads and magically ended up at a huge open area, right at the base of a mountain! We chatted with the owner of the house, and he happily agreed to let us bring the bride and groom for their portraits. Fast forward to portrait time following the ceremony — the owner of the house LOVED that we were there and was even snapping some phone pics of his own from inside the house. So sweet! I love watching people celebrate with our couples and help make their wedding days awesome.

One of my other favorite parts of the day was before the ceremony, when Alyssa and Jimmy did a First Touch. While we had mostly clear weather all day, rain began to fall just as Alyssa and Jimmy were praying together before their ceremony. They were both covered by the roof, so it created this beautiful, intimate moment with soft rain falling. It was definitely a powerful moment!

Alyssa and Jimmy, Marco and I wish you guys SO much happiness and many blessings. We’ve had a blast getting to know you both and are so excited for you. Congratulations!

 
 

Cozy Denver Engagement | Meagan & Rocky

Doing shoots in Colorado is one of my favorite things! I’ve learned quickly that the weather can be a bit unpredictable. However, I’m so lucky to have such great couples that trust us to create beautiful pictures regardless of the weather! Meagan's & Rocky's session happened to fall on a chilly day with some rain and snow, so we decided to change it up and do their shoot inside a gorgeous loft in Denver’s River North. (A special thank you to The Rhomes for hosting us!) Talk about cozy! I loved using this unique space for Meagan and Rocky.

It was fun to hang out with them in a relaxed atmosphere and get to know each other a bit more. They are both so sweet, friendly, and full of life. Marco and I can’t wait for their wedding in just a few weeks!
