We are excited to share a few images from their day. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Peeks.

Amy + Matt's Black Canyon Inn Estes Park Wedding {Estes Park Wedding Photographer, Rocky Mountain National Park Wedding Photography}
I first met Amy back in 6th grade when my family moved us out to the Stoney Point development in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I remember spending many of nights running around the streets to all hours of the night and hanging out with group friends in the cafeteria and hallways of Taft Middle School. A lot has changed since then and everyone is all grown up, but its always great to catch up with old friends. Amy and Matt have always had a love for the outdoors and a strong affinity for Colorado. Matt proposed last year up in, the planning begun for an Estes Park wedding week. I just knew I had to be a part of it all! They got married at the lovely Black Canyon Inn and afterwords rented a shuttle to take us into Rocky Mountain National Park for some family fun and photographs. We went all the way to the summit of Trail Ridge Road to find some snow and had ourselves a bit snowball fight in the middle of June! Everyone had a blast and we could not be happier that we were able to be a part of the celebration. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Bergstrom!

Megan + Monty King's Wedding {Ft. Collins Wedding Photographer, Colorado Wedding Photographer}
Megan and Monty King literally shared their vows with one another on a blue sky spring afternoon in Ft. Collins, Colorado. Following their ceremony at. After a few more photo ops, the newlyweds were reintroduced to their wedding guests at The Lincoln Center for an afternoon breakfast buffet complete with a french toast and syrup fountain and warm cinnamon rolls as their wedding cake. The evening was capped off with a bubble send off as they drove away honking the horn of a bright red 1958 Chevy with tin cans dangling behind. What a fantastic wedding day it was for Megan and Monty. We wish you the best and congratulations Mr. and Mrs. King!
Kristen + Matt's Ralston Crossing, Arvada Wedding {Denver Colorado Wedding Photographer, Ralston Crossing Wedding Photographer}
{Ashley} Kristen and I met through work and has been a great friend of ours for about 5 years. After she listened to all my wedding plans last year and helped coordinate our big day in Alabama and even caught the bouquet at our wedding, I knew her day would be nothing short of magical.
Matt and Kristen met through work, although Matt was based in Minnesota... a long way from Denver. They pursued a long distance relationship for about a year before Matt decided to pack up and move across the country. His love of the outdoors is why he said he moved to Colorado but we all knew it was really a cute brunette aka Kristen:)
Matt planned the perfect engagement in New York City over the holidays last year. He proposed near one of the fountains that you see in the movies. I'm sure it was Kristen's fairytale engagement, which she definitely deserved. And I must say, Matt did a great job picking out her ring:)
Kristen and Matt held their ceremony and reception at Ralston's Crossing in Arvada in June on the most perfect day of the year far. They couldn't have asked for better weather. I'm positive it was God shining down on them and their vow to one another. They had all the details covered from her gorgeous lace vintage inspired gown, to her amazing updo (thanks to her fantastic hair stylist, Amy Cabrera, MOH and sister of the bride). Her shoes were Tom's, a Colorado classic:), her garter was handmade and truly unique. Matt looked handsome as well in his 3 piece suit and his new watch, courtesy of Kristen. Their ceremony and reception were simply gorgeous and with every look at the groom, you could tell he was in awe of his new bride.
We wish Kristen and Matt many many years of love and blessings and look forward to many gatherings at their new home in the near future...hint, hint:) Thank you to Matt, Kristen, Judy and Dean for allowing us to be a part of this amazing day!

Corey + Danielle's Della Terra Mountain Chateau Wedding {Estes Park Wedding Photographer, Della Terra Wedding Photographer}
As the wedding season kicks into full swing it will be a bit harder to showcase all the wonderful weddings in their entirety up on the blog. Hopefully you can get a great sense of what a beautiful wedding Corey and Danielle had a short couple weeks ago up at first chance to capture a wedding at this wonderful location. The staff and service were excellent and I look forward to the opportunity to do so again. I know Corey and Danielle worked hard pulling together all the details for their wedding day. From my "expert" opinion, they did a superb job. Thanks for allowing us to share in your special day.
Amber + Dillon's Alabama Wedding {Destination Wedding Photographer}
Every so often, we get the pleasure of attending a wedding and not actually being responsible for photographing and documenting the events of the day. Ashley's cousin, Amber got married this past May 19th (Ashley and I's Anniversary) on Lay Lake in Alabama to her awesome fiance Dillon Sullivan. With so many family members in attendance that we don't see very often, we thought it was best to let a local photographer shoot the event and we kick back and party. As you can obviously tell by the following photos on this post or I guess the fact that there is a post at all, not taking photos is extremely difficult for me to do. With my camera in hand I tried so hard to sit back as any guest would do and sit during the ceremony, just watch the first dances and the cake cutting only capturing a few photos. Ashley might tell you differently, but I think I did a pretty good job of it all things considered. After seeing the lovely venue and the details that Amber and Dillon put into their wedding day a part of me was a bit sad we didn't say yes to shooting the entire event. Here are the photos I managed to capture while enjoying the wedding as a guest. Congratulations you two. We look forward to many anniversaries shared together over the years.
