Chevelle | Wedding Gown Dress Up | Grand Junction Colorado Wedding Photographer

What little girl wouldn't love the chance to play dress up in her mother's wedding gown?  The opportunity to put on a beautiful dress can make a girl feel like such a princess, and what a wonderful keepsake to give your daughter on her wedding day years down the road!

Chevelle and her mother came to my studio and put on her mother's dress.  The moments we captured over the next hour are priceless treasures.

This is a great alternative to a trash the dress session.  So, Brides, SAVE your wedding dress and perhaps one day you will have a daughter to play dress up with!

Don't wait for your child to grow up!  Create these memories now to cherish for years to come!  Contact the studio to schedule a session for your daughter!

Seth + Kelsey | Hotchkiss Colorado Engagement Photographer

SAVE THE DATE!

Kelsey and Seth are engaged and getting married May 1st, 2015 in Silverthorne Colorado!  I'm sure this will be a celebration that their friends and family won't want to miss!

Over 4th of July weekend I traveled to Hotchkiss, Colorado to the childhood home of Seth for the couple's engagement session.  We had so much fun and couldn't have picked a more beautiful evening for a shoot.  Thanks to the owners of Kuntz Ranch for the use of their property and their vintage Chevy!  It was the perfect touch to an intimate setting.

Congratulations Seth and Kelsey!  Let the wedding planning begin!

Grand Junction Wedding Photographer | Callie + Josh

Backyard country weddings are so much fun!  That's exactly the kind of wedding that Callie and Josh recently celebrated at her parents home up Reeder Mesa.  It was a very warm spring day, so warm in fact that even one of the flower girls decided to strip down during the ceremony!  It was nothing short of adorable!  Callie spent countless hours building up to their big day gathering and creating all of the wonderful handmade decorations.  The weather was splendid, the music was fabulous, the food was delicious and the guests who shared in the celebration brought with them an abundance of love and support.  The day was perfect!  The bride and groom hired us for only a few hours that day but here is a glimpse at the fun that was had!

Josh and Callie's Vendors for the day were:

Music:  Bad Boyz DJ

Flowers:  Country Elegance

Cake & Cupcakes:  Patty's Tiny Cakes

Food:  Family & Friends

Tables, Chairs, Linens:  What's the function Grand Junction

Special thanks to my sidekick Katie Landers Photography!
