Castle Rock Wedding Photographer - {kellen & kelsey - engagment 2012}

Kellen and Kelsey have known each other over 6 years and could not be better suited for one another.  Loved watching Kelsey tease Kellen.  This couple so made me laugh and I felt completely comfortable with them.  Plus, shooting at this location...I love it.  A random red barn in a field that we can use at any time...makes me happy just being there.  ;p 

I had emailed Kelsey a few weeks prior to this shoot to ask if she had a cool quilt...I had no idea that quilting runs in the family and that she had several quilts that were special to her.  One of the pictures shows the quilt that her great, great, great grandmother made (not sure how many greats but a lot were mentioned) Beautiful to me to be able to use something so special. 

And PS you guys are both gorgeous.  Yes, super easy taking your pictures...and I can't wait for your wedding day with all your fun and unique ideas!

taking a moment to capture something just for me...Happy sweet Friday. 

Colorado Springs Wedding Photographer - Jordan and Travis and a sweet engagement

Okay, I'm just going to say this once...well, I might mention it a lot later but Jordan and Travis...you guys are gorgeous.  Yes, I said this.  ;p  I absolutely loved this session.  Because we chose two different locations...one downtown Colorado Springs and another on the foothills of Garden of the Gods.  Completely opposite, different textures and both places I love to shoot at.  Its interesting...Jordan chose the city and Travis the views of the mountains...but both of them complimented and meshed well with the others choice.  Laughing and going a long with whatever was happening at the moment.  I don't think I've met a more laid back couple.  And Jordan, you rocked that strapless dress AND it was probably about 40 degrees downtown with NO sun.   Lets just say you are really good at pretending we were in a very warm place.  And on a side note...your shoes...are fabulous.  Yes, I have a thing for beautiful shoes.  June 30th could not get her fast enough...so looking forward to your wedding!  I know it will be the perfect combination of both of you...
