MAGIC, MAGIC, MAGIC!!! That's precisely how I feel about these two and this session and this place. We were also able to do a special giveaway for Wedding Pioneer (our wedding photography marketing directory) while in Kauai and Oahu. That blog post will be coming soon as well!
Don't you just love it when things come together? I've been wanting to do a snowy couples shoot FOREVER but it hardly ever snows (like really big heavy snows) here in the midwest. Just so happened that my cousin got engaged right before our family ski trip this winter in Colorado so we decided that was obviously the perfect place to do their engagement session. With the timing of the trip there was only one evening that worked to do it and wouldn't you know, we got big huge perfect fluffy flakes falling pretty much through the whole thing! Thanks, Jesus. :)
We were also able to meet up with some of our favorite photographers and vendors from our Wedding Pioneer Colorado Business while on this trip. Skiing & snowboarding + my cousin's engagement shoot + meeting some new photographer friends = :) :) :) :) :)
Where do we even begin with these two incredible people who we've come to love so much!? Do you guys remember when we visited Arches National Park and Kyle and I just so happened to stumble upon a surprise proposal with camera in hand? After snapping some photos of Riki and Josh and chatting afterward we exchanged contact info and I wondered what all God had up His sleeve with the whole chance encounter. Well throughout the coming year Riki and I talked and texted and Kyle and I were so elated when she and Josh asked us to come and shoot their mountaintop wedding in New England. We haven't really explored that part of the country and we got to see it in all of it's glory at peak Fall colors!! The whole weekend with Josh and Riki and their incredible families and friends was perfect and special and we felt so honored to be there. I think one of our favorite moments was documenting Riki's testimony so she could share it at their reception. Talk about the faithfulness of God shown through His redeeming love! We also loved getting to take a chair lift up the mountain for the ceremony! Doesn't get a lot better than that. We're so grateful that this precious couple came into our lives and we can't wait to see the incredible things God is going to do in and through them!
