Est. 2012 | Colorado Springs, Colorado and Charlottesville, Virginia wedding & family photographer

Ah! Kevin and Catherine are MARRIED!!! I couldn’t be more happy for these two. They have been together since HIGH SCHOOL, so this celebration was anticipated. 🙂 I have enjoyed this journey with them and cannot believe their wedding day is done! At least they will have these memories to always remember the day. <3 We first arrived, and the rain was a consistent drenching kind of rain and coming down at an angle. We had to restrategize a few things, but everything worked out BEAUTIFULLY!!!! I’m so so soooo grateful for their enthusiasm and joyful spirit!

After their beautiful ceremony, the rain lightened a bit, so we were able to run outside for more photos. 🙂 I love couples who want to take any opportunity for pictures!! Better yet … during the dinner hour, the SUN came out!!! We were able to throw the umbrella off to the side and play for a few minutes in the sunshine! The perfect way to wrap up the portraits before enjoying the party!! Their reception space was set up beautifully and so appropriate for a spring wedding. 🙂 Sunflowers decorated the space from the centerpieces to the cake and even the favors. After everyone had enjoyed dinner and the main events of the night, it seemed like the evening flew by so fast! They celebrated the final minute of their wedding day with a romantic sparkler exit and hugs around! A beautiful day from start to finish!!! 🙂

Thank you, Kevin and Catherine, for having me!!! You both are beautiful and I had the best time celebrating with you all!!! CONGRATS!!! Xoxo!

I love the joy in this left photo! So sweet!!
