I met Mariah at a bridal expo. She was clearly overwhelmed. My first question to her was if she was at the point in the planning process where she was interested in a photographer. She kinda had a deer in the headlights look of, “I’m not really sure yet.” So I asked if the whole event was too much stimulation, and the answer to that was obviously yes. So we just sat and chatted for a few minutes. And I figured out how super freaking cool she is. And surely enough a few months go by and I get an inquiry on my site from her. I was so freaking stoked. I am so unbelievably blessed to have been able to document her wedding. I brought my whole family to Estes park where we stayed at the YMCA for that weekend sledding. So that whole snowy weekend in combination with being graced with the award winning photographer https://liamgordon.photography as a second shooter, I was so pumped.

I have the best clients. There’s clearly a high level of emphasis on generations between these family’s and I felt that. The depth of love that Terry has for his wife that clearly is visible not just in the images, but the video, and the state of absolute bliss Kay continued to exude the entire day reaching multiple peaks throughout the first look, ceremony and reception had me giddy as well. Whiiiiiccchhh you can probably see when were dancing in the video 🤣

I must say, getting to work with Weddings by Hudson completely blew me away with the caliber of videographers available in the industry right now. If you have hired me or want to hire me, please hire him too because he is another level and I am so genuinely excited to see what he is concocting next…. Id like to say “Let him cook” if I may 🧐

Where can I begin. As a wedding photographer who has only within the past 24 months or so relocated from the east coast to Colorado, trying to establish my business in a completely new place with absolutely no name recognition and no pre-established clientele has been something I haven’t considered a “challenge” per se as much as I would call it a new frontier. Since I’m not yet known here for my photojournalistic and technically experimental style, I’ve had lead after lead in some sense or another grow cold because they came to me looking for “just another photographer” and not necessarily because my work was something that spoke to them…. Now Enter Logan and Mikaela…

Anna and Lou’s Love for each other is infectious. Every time I go back through their wedding images I continue to be absolutely blown away by the way they look at each other, and the memories I get to hold of their family and friends supporting them. I made quite a few friends of my own this wedding who I continue to speak with. This is one of those weddings that reminds me that I love what I do and don’t want to stop.
