Golden Colorado Wedding | Amy & Tyler

Golden Colorado Wedding | Amy & Tyler

This wedding is a little extra special because I've known Amy for quite a few years.  She was a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed way back, early on in my business, and since then has been in few more.  They've become much more than clients over the years, but an incredible group of friends that I've photographed from the engagement session to the birth of their babies.  I think I've become an honorary bridesmaid ;)  I was so excited to hear that is was finally Amy's turn to walk down the aisle and after meeting Tyler it's very clear how special their relationship is, and just how much they love each other.  I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day, stress free travel out to Colorado, the most beautiful 70 degree wedding day with bright sunny skies (crazy story though because the next day it dropped to the 30s with a snow storm), clearly the most awesome wedding party every, and a amazing couple in love enjoying their day and willing to hike a mountain for great pics.  Beth and I flew in a day early, scouted all the sweet spots for pictures, which of course were at the top of a mountain edge with amazing views of the snow capped Rockies, but then I spent the night having nightmares about Amy slipping on the loose rocks and falling over the mountain edge.  Luckily, despite 6 inch heels, rugged terrain, and a few stumbles we safely made it through pictures and partied the night away.  Nothing could have made it more perfect.  Thank you Amy and Tyler for trusting me enough to fly me halfway across the country to document your wedding.  I'm so incredibly honored and grateful that I got to be an honorary bridesmaid with a camera on your special day too.  Wishing you many wedding blessings in your new beginning together.

Nashville Engagement - Ashley & Marcus

Nashville Engagement - Ashley & Marcus

I traveled down to Nashville, TN for Marcus and Ashley's engagement session at the very start of spring, and while it still felt gray, brown, and bleak in Michigan, as I drove further south, trees turned green, blossoms were blooming, and the sunshine was so warm and refreshing (oddly enough it snowed here in Michigan the day of my return...thanks Michigan for your warm welcome back).  But that wasn't the only reason why their engagement session was amazing.  Ashley and Marcus are the sweetest people you'll ever meet, they have all that sweet southern hospitality and charm.  They pre-planned a wonderful day for our shoot and showed us around the Nashville area while we hung out and got to know each other a little better.  We began the day at the Carnton Plantation in historic Franklin TN, which is an incredibly beautiful place to visit, hopefully I've given it justice in these photos.  We even wandered into downtown Franklin for lunch at a old pharmacy turned restaurant for a bite before then heading downtown Nashville for more amazing backdrops for pictures.  Couldn't have asked for a better trip, it was truly awesome to spend the day with two incredible people who love each other deeply and document their love in the place they call home.  Thank you both for inviting me down, I can't wait to see you again for wedding day!
