Alli and Josh got married on October 19th, 2024. They had their closest friends and family meet them in Boulder, Colorado where they recently moved! One of my best friends introduced me to Alli and Josh years ago when we were all in college.
I arrived at the amazing rental house they stayed at and got ready together in. Alli chose to do a first look with Josh plus all of their friends who are also unofficial bridesmaids and groomsmen. The moment was perfect- the dress itself was a complete surprise to everyone.

After the first look, we left for Flagstaff Mountain near the Halfway House where Alli and Josh exchanged their vows privately as their friends and family watched from afar at the ceremony site. It was cloudy, and I loved the intimacy of these moments they were able to spend together.
Alli and Josh made their way up the path to the Halfway house where their guests were waiting. Their ceremony was short with a few speeches including Alli’s dad mentioning lots of funny stories from Alli’s childhood. Afterwards, their guests signed their marriage license as witnesses.
We made time for couples portraits of Alli and Josh too. I loved capturing a moment where Josh remembered that he had apple pie moonshine for them to share as a newly married couple.
Finally, we went to the base of Chautauqua Park to take photos of the wedding party and to enjoy the views. Most of their family, friends and guests flew out to Boulder from Chicago, so the views were well appreciated.
