These two adventurous souls hiked to South Clear Creek Falls to say I do, accompanied by their sweet little Bulldog, Bruno.  While the weather wasn't its best, this was truly one of my favorite shoots yet. It was a marriage commenced by true love, simplicity, and pure affection.

Their cozy winter wedding was enjoyed by all at this secluded getaway on the Rio Grande River. Flannel blankets, hot cocoa and cookies gave comfort to the chill of the mountain air. Meanwhile, Chad and Amy warmed the hearts of their friends and family. I’m honored to have been a part of such an intimate occasion. 

Best wishes to your wonderful journey, as you build your lives together!

The Barn at Evergreen Memorial Park is where Kerstin and Sean tied the knot.  This simplistic, rustic wedding was beautiful as ever! 

The bride and her girls got ready in a gorgeous room downstairs, they shared laughter and a book to surprise the bride. The groomsmen were witty and joked together throughout the day. Sean had yet another surprise for the Bride; the wedding band she had wished for! They wrote one another a sweet message to be shared before the big moment. All the while, family were on the main floor decorating and getting everything perfect for the special day. During the ceremony, the October chilly winds swept through; the bride and groom didn't even seem to notice. Sean's look was simply beautiful, searching for his bride down the isle. They said their I do's and danced the night away!! 

Kristen and Sean, may there be many many adventures and hunts to share. Thank you for choosing Little Elaine Photography to capture your day.

This one did stand out to me. Maybe it was a mix between the couple Shelley and Hiten, their families and friends, and all the kind-hearted spirits. I really felt like I belonged there! The weather wasn't what I would have ordered but it offered dry skies and beautiful pictures for the first half, so thankful they did a first look! It then started pouring during the outdoor ceremony but the love of these two did not let that stop them. They had nothing but smiles and laughter the whole time. Shelley and Hiten met a few years back at a friends wedding and connected in a way they hadn't before. That was just the start. The communion along with friends who travel from afar was a beautiful chapter. This sweet couple have great journeys and adventures awaiting!  

~Shelley and Hiten thank you for inviting me to such a special occasion in your life

They got to experience all kinds of new things. Feeding pigs and chickens, meeting Supervisor cat (my daughters favorite part), digging potatoes, picking squash and finding chicken eggs! I think it's an understatement to say they had a blast!!! 

Thank you so much Chapman Pinon Farm for hosting this awesome field trip along with sending the kiddos home with fresh veggies!! YUM!

They couldn't have chosen a more gorgeous location to say I do. The day started with drizzles, but the second the bride started to walk down the isle, the rain had come to a stop. They say rain is a sign of good luck, right? Not that these sweet soul mates need luck! The sign proved to be correct as this event was perfect in every way. Surrounded by all of God's beauty, friends and family, Jacob and Diona started their new beginning. There wasn't a dry eye in the crowd at this magical YMCA of the Rockies wedding.

The loving couple of Ben and Emily met 7 years ago, and started dating a few years later, thanks to the persistence of the groom. Their love grow each day and it grew within the adventurous nature of the both of them, whether it be fly fishing, hiking or skiing; each adventure brought them closer to this day. Everything was perfect down to the very last detail. The bride, Emily made a big entrance, fly fishing down the Rio Grande River, the look on Ben’s face was absolutely priceless. The location and weather were amazing, the food was delicious and it all added up to a fantastic wedding day. This wedding was a wonderful sight to see. A couple so full of happiness. The fact that I had the privilege of knowing them personally certainly made it even that more special.

(Jk husband, if you even read my blogs..) I have had the pleasure of photographing her big sister and family many times. Each passing session changes to my favorite of them. I was lucky and had two assistants join me. (see image 6) They were a big help, both being between the age of 2 and 3. Assistant number one being big sister and two being my daughter, I'm sure you can imagine. It was FUN and a little crazy. www.littleelainephotography.com ​
