“There are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice.”

Rocky Mountain Engagement Inspiration
This engagement session was about capturing intimate moments between the couple and the romance of being engaged. Set in the garden of a private estate, we styled a dessert and champagne picnic complete with mini donuts and fine libations. The bride, Ciana, brought a copy of Shakespeare's complete works, which was something the couple had bonded over while dating. Her dress from BHLDN kept with the romantic theme, with its flowing shape. A loose garden bouquet by MJM Designs featured ranunculus and scabiosa. And an old ski lift that sits in the garden made for a fun photo op and nodded to the outdoorsy nature of the couple.
Oyster Shell Wedding Color Palette Inspiration
One of the first design decisions couples make when planning a wedding is the color palette. But how should a couple decide on wedding colors? Inspiration is everywhere! Choose your wedding colors based on a favorite piece of art, a favorite vacation destination, or even a favorite meal! One of my current favorite palettes is based on a little obsession of mine: oyster shells!
Mountain Elegance Wedding Inspiration at Wild Canyon Ranch
Wild Canyon Ranch, a new wedding location in Lake George, Colorado, served as the perfect backdrop for this mountain elegance wedding shoot. The first scene I styled was an elegant getting ready and boudoir scene. The location's stunning claw foot tub made for a natural place to start our story. Our stunning model hair was styled with a slightly 20's feel, with classic finger waves and Sarah Gabriel headpiece and veil. Then we moved to the bridal suite where photographer Carrie King captured some stunning getting ready shots.
