It’s locations like this one in Colorado Springs that really make me excited to be a photographer here. It’s couples like Katie and Austin that really make me love my job. Not to be cheesy, but it’s true. The grass was cut at this field below a month or so ago, so when I suggested that location for their Mess the Dress photo shoot, I was unsure if we’d have some longer grass to work with. I was literally jumping for joy when I saw it came up to my waist in some parts! If that doesn’t get you excited, well… that’s okay — because I was excited for all of us! Anyway, you might remember Austin and Katie from my last wedding post. They wanted to do a Mess the Dress session, which is a photo shoot done after the wedding, usually after the honeymoon.

Palmer Lake, CO — Let me just start by saying that this was such a fun wedding! Katie and Austin have such great family and friends surrounding them — most of whom came in from out of town to show their support.

I hope you know that. 🙂 Finishing touches with help from mom. My random “ring shot” that I think would be perfect on a canvas in their kitchen. However, if they hate it I also did another one below in the flowers. 🙂 I don’t know who did it either. And sparklers… a perfect way to end a wedding on a summer evening in Colorado. Katie and Austin, thank you for asking me to be your wedding […]
