Lindsay and Will’s gorgeous wedding took place one day after the first snowfall of this fall.  These two overcame major obstacles in the weeks leading up to the wedding which included Lindsay almost losing her dress in the Boulder, CO floods, and Lindsay missing her own rehearsal dinner due to her inbound flight getting re routed.  When I met Lindsay, I was wowed by her beauty, calmness and sweetness.  Lindsay and Will were such a joy to photograph, and they have such loving family and friends.  Here are my favorite images from their special day:

I had a blast photographing Rae and Dan’s wedding.  It began with Rae getting canoed into the ceremony by her father, then throughout the ceremony there were plenty of laughs and tears.  I got the pleasure of taking the happy couple on a little drive around the Redfish Lake property to get some great portraits.  Their wedding reception by the lodge was filled with friends, dancing, more tears and laughter (:  Here are some of my favorite images from their day.

It is very difficult to describe Siobhan and Jeff as a couple.  It is much easier to describe them with a song, a facial expression, a smile, a laugh or a camping spot…  I was absolutely honored when Siobhan called me the morning after Jeff popped the question to ask me if I was available to photograph her wedding.  Luckily for both Siobhan and I, the date she chose had JUST became available just days before the proposal.  I had a blast photographing their engagement session.  Although I had met Siobhan when I moved here 7 years ago, I didn’t get to really KNOW her until the weeks leading up to her engagement session and wedding.  After the first camping experience with her and Jeff, I knew they were perfect for each other.  They complement each other, they respect one another and value their relationship as well as their friendships.  I am soo proud to know and be a friend of Siobhan and Jeff’s and am excited to share my favorite images from their wedding day.  Siobhan and Jeff:  Here’s to a lifetime of happiness, singing, dancing and laughing (and more camp nights along the way).

I can’t wait to share more images from Sarah and Josh’s perfect October Wedding Day!

I can’t wait to share more images from this couple’s wedding, held yesterday at Knob Hill Inn just one day after our big snow storm here in Sun Valley!

I have had the pleasure of getting to know Kate over the past few years, and when I was asked to photograph her and Blake’s wedding I was elated!  Kate and Blake decided to have a very intimate (family only) wedding held in the backyard of their home in Hailey.  Although Blake saw Kate before the wedding (he even helped her get dressed!) tears rolled down his face as his best friend and now wife, walked down the aisle toward him.  Their vows were so very and touching and I’m sure their tears felt like rain drops falling on their bare feet as they stood in the grass sharing such sweet words.  After the ceremony we photographed them with their families and they enjoyed a family dinner.  Here are some of my favorite images from their beautiful day.

 

Emily and Seth’s wedding was a sweet day to capture.  The wedding vows, toasts and abundance of love from family and friends for these two made the day so very special.

I am soo honored to have been voted as one of the best photographers in the Valley!  This is the first time I have received such recognition here and with soo many talented photographers in the area, I am truly grateful for all the love!  Thank you!

The word that comes to mind when I describe for Jennifer and Chad is simply, COOL.  They are an easy-going, incredibly-in-love couple.  Jennifer was super calm leading up to the “reveal” on her wedding day, and didn’t let any pre-determined “timeline” get in the way of her dream of marrying her best friend, Chad.  She wanted AWESOME photos, and wanted to enjoy her day.  We actually stayed “on-time” and she looked absolutely radiant throughout the day.  She prided herself on hiring small business in the valley that were owned and operated by WOMEN.  Kudos to Jennifer!!!  Jennifer and Chad, I wish you a lifetime of happiness!!

Rian and Chris are an absolute blast.  I had a GREAT time getting to know them during their engagement session over the summer, where they biked, lounged, wined and dined   I knew their wedding would be spectacular as Rian LOVES LOVES details!! Between the strategically placed wine barrels, ceramic red cups with markers to identify them with, and the amazing food and WINE, I can only imagine that her wedding day was everything she had been dreaming of!  Rian and Chris, you two are so fun, loving, gorgeous and totally deserving of your amazing friends and family.  I wish you a lifetime of happiness!!!
