We adore Nicole and Joshua. We had a chance to get to know them months ago to do their engagement photo session and now here’s their beautiful wedding. We love a wedding with special thoughts to the “details” and Nicole and Josh didn’t leave out anything. Not only that, it was incredibly personal to who they are as a couple. They had a candy bar, little lego men topping their cake, and as a surprise, their friends welcomed them into their reception with lightsabers. What a celebration! Our gift to Nicole was a custom hanger with her new last name. Perfect to hang her incredible dress on. Seeing one another for the first time. Nicole, you’re stunning! Check out the cake topper! Place cards and the little lego men are so, so creative (and adorable… yes, I called Lego men adorable).

My heart sank when I received an email from Morgan a week after she saw that I was offering to do photos for families that lost their homes in the Waldo Canyon Fire. Her father lost his home and it was in one of the heavily damaged neighborhoods. It was the home that meant the most to them all. We set up a time to do the photos and when we met last night, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Typically a joyful family, I still questioned how we would do this shoot. Would it filled with tears? Would it be something the family really didn’t want to do? The weather was beautiful and I couldn’t have […]
