Jordan + Rachael // Intimate Elopement in the Redwood Forest

Words don't really do justice to how special this day was and to how honored we felt to be a part of it. So I think I'll just let the photos speak for themselves. I really did try to narrow down to my favorites but when you're dealing with the Northern California coastline and the majesty of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park it's a tall order.

Check out the highlight video for even more gorgeousness...

A couple of weeks later we had the pleasure of capturing Rachael + Jordan's reception back home in St. Louis. Talk about the best of both worlds. Have I mentioned how much we LOVE shooting at Jefferson Underground!?

Katy + JB // Snowy Engagement Session in the Rocky Mountains

Never have I been more excited about a session being rescheduled. Sometimes things just have a way of working out. We were supposed to do Katy and JB's engagement session in St. Louis a few months back but at the last minute we decided to postpone because it was such a dark, dreary day and we were going to be shooting in the woods which would make it even darker. It was especially a bummer because they don't live here and were only in town for the weekend. But then a stroke of genius hit me and I remembered that they currently live in Denver so I asked if they'd want to do their session in the mountains when we already had a trip planned! (Can't believe I hadn't thought of that to begin with lol.) Well, naturally, we're pretty dang thrilled with the results. 

Chadd + Hannah // Intimate Laid Back Wedding in Colorado

Snow falling gently to the ground, a cozy riverside home filled with family and close friends, all the yummy brunch foods you can imagine, and adventuring through the foothills as newlyweds... not sure there's a better way to spend your wedding day!! This sweet little celebration in Montrose, CO was just downright delightful and we feel beyond blessed and grateful to have taken part. :)
