I’m Stephanie, a wedding + lifestyle photographer based in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Warrenton, Virginia. Whether I’m by the mountains of Colorado or Virginia, my soul feels at home, surrounded by rural living and the raw beauty of nature. I genuinely love what I do, and feel so passionate to share the enthusiasm and joy of these celebrations with you!

Weekend Recap

What a busy, yet peaceful weekend! What made this weekend peaceful was the weather. Spring will automatically lighten anyones spirits! The sunshine hitting our skin … helloooooo vitamin D! … the flowers starting to bloom. Finally. Spring is here! It seems like there was more anticipation for spring this year than any other. Not sure if it is because of the amount of SNOW we had or if it’s just because I’m anxious for this wedding season! And it seems like this week was really the turning point from winter to spring as the grass became GREENER overnight! I was even able to spend time doing some yard work with my hun … never felt so good to get my hands dirty! I made sure to impress my love by volunteering to fix up the front yard landscaping … I even put on my redskins shirt. 😉 Lol!

For this post, I have some goodies to show you from this past weekend. :)))) Excited to share more of these beauties this week!
