The Community Food Share hosted an event at the Shelby Collective Museum in Boulder. Seeing so many unique cars in one location and learning fun facts about when or where they were built, who drove them, how many miles they were driven and how much they’re worth today was such a fun experience.
The museum is a nonprofit. It has multiple buildings full of cars, old signs, books and volunteers who have endless fun fact information to share with visitors.
I met Taylor Keith and Miko on a cool fall morning at the cabin they were staying at in Twin Lakes for these family photos.
I’ve taken family photos for Taylor and Keith for about 6 years now! Their family typically has more animals than humans and it’s the best. As Miko grows each year, I’m amazed to see how much he changes and becomes different versions of himself.
The fall colors mixed with snow capped mountains is always an unreal sight. It’s one of the many things about Colorado that makes me feel so grateful to live here. The fall season here is quick. Once the cold weather leaves a frost, all the leaves will be gone. But we timed these photos absolutely perfectly.
Seeing my friends and clients growing and changing makes me happy. Your family is special and it deserves to be documented annually often.
A small wedding at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. The views here are incredible, it’s a short walk from the road and there’s room for your closest family to attend. Haley and Jeremy made their way with family from Illinois and got married at Chautauqua in front of the flat irons on a gorgeous August day.
There are several good locations for your ceremony at Chautauqua. To get married here, just your photographer needs a permit as long as your group has less than 50 people.
All of the locations at Chautauqua have lovely views of the mountains. Although there may be one or two people walking past with a dog at some point, it can still be relatively quiet.
One of the best parts about Chautauqua is the option to drive up the an overlook point afterwards! Lost Gulch is a classic spot to see the mountains to the west and look out over the town of Boulder to get some dramatic and panoramic photos.
After your wedding or elopement, there are endless dinner options nearby on Pearl Street. Some favorites of mine are Japango for sushi, Gemini for Tapas, River and Woods or Bramble and Hare for a farm to table experience.
If you need a photographer, send me an email and we’ll connect!
*This wedding was photographed as a second with Eleanor :)
Bryan and Jessica traveled from Ohio to Colorado for a vacation that ended in the most special way. Bryan contacted me a few weeks before their trip to coordinate details for a Monday morning proposal in the Rocky Mountains. when I arrived, it was chilly, but gorgeous as the sun began to illuminate the mountain peaks.
I walked to our decided spot and waited for Bryan and Jessica. With couples who have never met me, the “hiding in plain sight” method works the best. The proposal was perfect and Jessica had no clue it was going to happen since their trip was coming to an end.
After the proposal, we caught our breath and walked the loop at Sprague Lake for their photos as a newly engaged couple! Because most people are caught off guard with a proposal like this, I offer posing and guidance throughout the session to help couples feel relaxed and to enjoy the moments of being so newly engaged.
Proposals are special whether or not you have photos taken, but I’ll always recommend it :)
If you’re looking to surprise your partner with a proposal, send me an email! I’ll help you coordinate it all, even if it’s late notice!
Mallory and Michael’s wedding at the St. Julien in Boulder
*Second shot with Eleanor at Be Boulder Photography
This was such a refreshing and fun day. When Eleanor and I arrived to Mallory’s room, Michael was there too- they hadn’t changed into their wedding attire yet, but I have to assume they were in such high spirits because they weren’t stressing about not having seen each other for an entire day! I went with Michael to his room to wait for Mallory to be ready for the first look.
Their first look was adorable. Seeing couples feed off of each other’s energy and excitement on their wedding day is beautiful. These two were cheering to their guests from their balcony, dancing around and excited for the ceremony next! We also got to see the shirt that Michael was wearing when Mallory first met him that ended up being a conversation starter.
At the St. Julien, the courtyard faces west so everyone has a view of the mountains in the distance during the ceremony. It’s spacious, beautiful and located near downtown Boulder so it’s convenient for guests coming in from out of town. This ceremony was lovely.
Their dinner reception was gorgeous and everyone remained giggly when it started to rain just as dinner was served. Luckily it only lasted a few minutes, but it made the evening a but more interesting!
Finally, their reception was inside the hotel in a large room where their favorite band played music all night. The women dancing in high heels with ease was probably the most impressive part of the night for me haha It was such a fun crowd of course because Mallory and Micheal are awesome! If you’re considering a full wedding day, the St. Julien is a great venue with variety for locations and space for many guests.
Meghann and Matt’s reception at the Junkyard in Boulder.
The junkyard is a unique spot for a wedding reception. It’s a non-profit organization with an indoor coffee shop, bar, lots of open seating and an outdoor playground for kids and adults! This venue hosts concerts and is open daily as a coffee shop and hang out area. I had always driven by and seen the space wanting to visit and I was excited when Meghann emailed me about the reception!
They invited their friends and family for drinks, a buffet dinner and music and dancing. The venue is spacious outside for group photos and has beautiful decor inside that shows all kinds of unique art and expression. As a former art student, I loved this aspect.
There were so many things to interact with and explore in the junkyard area.
Whether you want a big wedding or a small and non-traditional wedding, do what makes you happy and allows for the most peace in your life. Meghann and Matt were able to relax and spend time with their guests because they set it up that way! I’ll always encourage my clients to do what their hearts tell them to do in order to celebrate their love with others.
