Boulder Small Wedding Photographer at The Black Cat Farm

Kara and Josh’s wedding day was incredible. They invited immediate family and their closest friends to be a small party of around 30 people. They are one of the most sweet couples I have ever met. These two are so in love and so meant to be together. Every photo that Eleanor and I took seemed so effortless. Kara and Josh put themselves into the sweetest poses on their own and looked lovingly into each other’s eyes every few minutes. Expressing their love and care for each other as we took photos, they did the best job of not noticing us as the photographers. Everything was so natural and I was so honored to witness and capture their love.

The symbolism in their day was intentional and beautiful. They call each other “blueberry” as a pet name, so Kara and Josh chose to get tattoos of blueberries instead of using wedding rings. To follow this theme, there was blueberry pie dessert. At the wedding ceremony, they had a unity plant for Kara’s mother who passed away that had soil from her and Josh’s garden at home mixed with some of her mother’s ashes. And the venue name, The Black Cat, holds meaning in the way they began dating. When her and Josh first met, she had a little black cat who trusted no one except Kara until that cat met Josh and jumped up on his lap that same day. And that’s how Kara knew Josh would be very special to her.

On top of all this beauty, Kara, Josh, their family and friends were all so welcoming. Eleanor and I had met some of them at Kara’s brother’s wedding that we photographed last year. It was such a perfect day with beautiful Colorado weather, amazing food at the farm to table restaurant and beautiful people in love.

Seasonal photos with extended family are always worth it!

Years pass quickly and it’s easy to go years without getting a photo with all of your family together. Ever sine I moved away from Illinois, I make at least one trip back each year and we always take a family photo with my parents, sister and our dog. It is so worth it to have the memories.

Riverbend Lyons Wedding Photographer - Lyons, Colorado

If you want to have a mountain wedding on a river, then the Riverbend in Lyons, CO is a great option.

This venue has plenty of room for hundreds of guests at the ceremony site as well as at the reception tent.

There are mules that wear harnesses to carry beverages around during cocktail hour, a ton of open space for guests to wander and enjoy the river and wooded areas.

The areas for getting ready are fancy yurts which were cool for unique photos.

Taylor, Keith and their adorable baby, Miko

Our photo sessions together have changed so much over the years that I’ve known Taylor. From taking photos in her home with 3 dogs and 3 cats, here we are today! Baby Miko slept on our drive up the mountain in Nederland and was happy most of the shoot until the end as expected. Taylor and Keith are such incredible parents already! It has been beautiful to witness their love for Miko.
