This blog post is a compilation of some of my most memorable, hilarious, and downright ridiculous moments from the 2022 wedding and elopement season in Colorado. As a Colorado Wedding and Elopement Photographer and Videographer, I had the opportunity to document love and joy in some of the most beautiful locations in the state, including Denver, Boulder, Estes Park, Breckenridge, Summit County, Vail, the front range, and the Rocky Mountains. Each wedding and elopement was unique and special in its own way, and it was an honor to be a part of these moments, even the ones where Mother Nature got crazy, we have it all!

The photos and wedding and elopement films included in this post are a small representation of the many beautiful memories that I was able to capture during this season, but also some of the most hilarious. I hope that this blog post will provide a glimpse into the love, laughter and overall craziness that surrounded these intimate celebrations and that it will be a reminder of the special moments for the couples and their families for years to come. And if you’re lucky, it will make you laugh too!

And a little touch of personal…

One of my big goals for 2022 was working towards a stronger semblance of work life balance. I’m lucky to have a career doing what I love as a Colorado Wedding and Elopement Photographer and Videographer, but wanted to spend more time enjoying life outside of work too! I launched a new brand for my super talented associate team of photographers called Colorado Photographer Squad, hired an incredible assistant to manage my social media channels and was able to spend so much more time unplugged than I have in years past! Here is a little photo recap and a glimpse of our first international trip to Spain, our trip to Glacier National Park, and some silly selfies in between!
