Callie + Brandon (and their girls) Downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado Family Photos It’s an honor to photograph other families that own a small business here in town. There’s something special about having someone that truly understands the crazy roller coaster of it all. This family owns Switchback Coffee Roasters and it’s the best coffee shop in town. A perfect patio for sunny days and the inside is cozy for cold days (or any day, really). I’ve spent many hours editing photos in their shop; lots of natural lighting and friendly employees. If you haven’t been there, check it out! We spent one evening the last week in August taking these photos. On a night when the sun is setting a little earlier, and there’s a crisp feel to the air once the sun goes behind Pikes Peak. This family and our family shares a huge love for our city. Both of our families have local brick and mortar storefront businesses that rely on the people of the city; our kids all go to school here and we plan to raise our families here.

Megan + Carlin | Married August 30th, 2019 Larkspur, Colorado Venue: Flying Horse Ranch DJ/MC: AJ – Celebrity DJ Wedding Coordinator: Michelle – Flying Horse Ranch Cake: Costco Flowers: Costco Dress: Davids Bridal Photographers: Megan Hardre and Laura Atchison – Megan Hardre Photography Catering: Buffalo Gals Flying Horse Ranch is hands down, one of my favorite venues in Colorado to shoot at — it’s such a neat place with an interesting history. The ranch is on 1400 acres and it’s filled with rolling hills, lovely white fences, barns and lots of horses; besides being a wedding venue, it’s also a working farm. It was bought a few years ago and turned into a wedding venue – previously it was a vacation home, only used twice, by its previous owner. The layout is perfect for an indoor or an outdoor wedding, with lots of ways to make it unique to each couples needs. I know Megan and Carlin through the church we both attend and it was a total joy to be asked to photograph their wedding. They are a great match and I know their marriage will be filled with lots of laughter!
