Erin has been a friend of mine for many years here in Colorado. When I was introduced to John over a few margaritas I instantly knew they were perfect for each other. We had a great time capturing the two of them back on their Colorado Wedding started at moved to the Brook Forest Inn for their reception. After a cocktail hour complete with homemade margaritas and lawn games, the family and friends packed into the Inn to enjoy some wonderful bbq and dancing. Congratulations Erin + John. I am so excited for the two of you and look forward to watching your family grow in the years to come.

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!
