I met Lilli and Patryk at Red Rocks to celebrate their engagement.
Lilli shares, “Patryk and I first met in Atlanta in 2018, forming a friendship as coworkers. When Patryk moved on to another company, we took the opportunity to begin a romantic relationship and have been happily together ever since!
We love having fun together, and spent our first year of dating enjoying a mutual love of travel, theme parks, and Broadway musicals. In 2020, we quickly transitioned to playing video games together instead – even if Patryk had to carry me through most levels.
After 3 years together in Atlanta, we packed up and moved to Denver. We’ve since had a great time exploring the mountains, cheering on all the local teams, and doing our best to break out of every escape room within 50 miles.
We’re so excited to begin the next chapter of our lives together and can’t wait to see what comes next!”
The couple is getting married this June in Denver. Happy engagement Lilli and Patryk!

Caroline and Roy were married on a gorgeous Colorado day at Guyton Ranch in Jefferson, Colorado.
The day began with a first look and portraits at Kenosha Pass.
Caroline shares, “Our wedding style was rustic elegance. We wanted to have a fun and relaxed atmosphere with our friends and family all weekend long. We chose the venue for the beautiful views, rustic charm and flexibility it allowed. My favorite moment was the ceremony, specifically when we were pronounced husband and wife.”
Caroline choreographed their first dance herself, and it was full of twirls, sweet moments and fun!
Vanessa and Michael were married on a beautiful summer day at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
Music was a big part of the wedding day. Guests enjoyed a special, private Flamenco concert at the Woodland Mosaic before the ceremony.
Vanessa and Michael’s children participated in toasts and shared how special it was to be able to attend their parents’ wedding–something most kids are not able to do!
I met Brittney and Bryan at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge for their engagement session. We had a nice breezy evening with the most amazing sunset and fields of wildflowers!
Brittney, thank you for being up for walking through this tall grass! We may have passed a thousand grasshoppers, but it was worth it.
Brittney shares, “Bryan and I knew of each other in high school. We did many similar activities, such as church and music, but our friend groups didn’t intersect. Fast forward 17 years, Bryan reached out via social media while I was in the midst of nursing school for a career change. I was not interested in dating while being so busy, but Bryan was the right amount of persistence, patience, and charm. We took dating slow ensuring that we would work well together and work well as a family (Bryan has 6 biological kids and 1 adopted special needs son).
We both feel incredibly lucky to have found someone who complements us so well. We look at our wedding as both an opportunity to acknowledge what we’ve each been able to overcome/endure in the past and celebrate the beginning of a wonderful life with a family full of love, adventure, and joy.”
I can’t get over this gorgeous golden sunlight. Brittney and Bryan–you guys look amazing!
The couple will be married this fall in Colorado. Happy engagement Brittney and Bryan!

Hi! I’m so excited that you are here and I’m excited to introduce myself to you! When you are looking for a photographer it is so important to find someone who you will enjoy working with and being around all day on your wedding day. And that is why I think it is so important for us to make sure we click. I have a post all about my style and approach to a wedding day. This post is a little bit about me, my background, my family and my life.
Some snapshots:
I was born in Northern Virginia and grew up with a very loving family. My childhood was all about Care Bears, Disney movies and 80’s music.
I met my husband at a Halloween party when I was a senior in high school. He was dressed as a hippie. Later that night we both asked our friend, Peter, for each other’s numbers.
I moved to NYC to go to college at Pratt Institute. I studied graphic design, advertising and photography and earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Direction.
I started my career as a Junior Art Director at a major ad agency in Manhattan where I got to work on campaigns for Puff Tissues, UBS Bank, Whirlpool and ThermaCare.
I lived in NYC for about 15 years and I miss it every day. The energy, theater, art, food–everything was incredible. Central Park (especially in the fall) is my favorite place in the whole world.
I got married in a small ceremony in Central Park in NYC on June 2, 2007. Getting married and hiring a photographer made me realize I wanted to be a wedding photographer.
My husband and I went to Paris on our honeymoon. We have since been to London, Southern Germany, Austria, Rome, Florence, Venice, and the Bahamas. We also love taking trips often to Miami and San Diego and taking our kids to Disneyland. We have trips to Hawaii and Banff planned. Spain and Iceland are on my bucket list.
In October of 2009, I photographed my first wedding. I vividly remember getting a very happy email from the bride after I delivered the photos and I burst into tears. This was going to work!
I absolutely love my job and feel so lucky every time a couple decides to book me.
We moved to Northeast Denver in 2018 and love living here.
My husband and I have three amazing kids: Ollie, Augie and Rosie. They fill our lives with joy, inspiration and so much laughter.
I think being a bride and being a mom has made me a better wedding photographer. I have gone through it all. I understand how overwhelming and wonderful wedding planning can be. I’m great with kids and families, understanding needs and complexities, being in control and being direct, but always kind, dealing with tantrums (although I have only had to witness one or two) and being flexible.
And now, for fun, here are some of my favorite things:
Favorite Movie: Moulin Rouge Favorite Food: Maryland steamed crabs, anything with chocolate Favorite TV Show: The Office, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Currently Watching: The Bear Last Concert: Maggie Rogers at Red Rocks Go-to Restaurant: Anything at Stanley Market Starbucks Order: Vanilla Latte Favorite meal to cook for my family: Tacos! Favorite part of a wedding day: When the couple walks back down the aisle after the first kiss! SO full of JOY!
