Denver Zoom Wedding
Their vision for their backyard Zoom wedding was for it to feel like a whimsical fairy land and man did they deliver! The flowers all came from my FAVORITE plant shop and florist in Boulder (shoutout to Sturtz and Copeland!). They brought in some professional help to broadcast their wedding to their friends and family around the world – and this was NOT a low key affair. The broadcast included a documentary about their relationship, speeches from and to friends and family, musical performances, toasts, cake cutting, a car parade, and dancing. It was epic. To quote one of their friends, “Only Lisa and RJ would turn their wedding into a full length feature film …” When I showed up Lisa was getting ready at their neighbor’s house and was basically bubbling over with joy. We made a few Facetime calls to her friends and family on the other side of the globe so they could see her all gussied up and then it was time for the ceremony! Their neighbors joined them from their rooftops during one of the sweetest and most joy-filled ceremonies I have seen. One of my favorite moments was Maisie’s reaction to seeing her mom walk down the aisle – it was ADORABLE. After the ceremony they hopped in their 1973 convertible and joined a car parade that went around the neighborhood. Then it was time for music, speeches, cake and dancing! I’m especially obsessed with the US and Ireland themed bride and groom cakes! I have been to a LOT of weddings y’all (like, a LOT of weddings …) and I can honestly say that I have never seen a wedding, of any size, that was filled with this much joy, happiness, and laughter. At one point Lisa said “Screw that castle in Ireland! I am having so much fun. This is SO MUCH MORE US.”. And that’s what its all about.






Colorado Adventure Session
I had so much fun with these two at their Zoom wedding that I was super sad when it was over – but fortunately for me we weren’t done yet! A few weeks after their wedding we met up again – this time in the mountains – for a post-wedding adventure session. They got all glammed up and drove the convertible up to the high country and we spent an evening picnicking, drinking champagne, and enjoying one of my favorite little spots in the mountains. RJ loves the stars and we purposely picked a day that was supposed to have no moon. I LOVE doing star photos with couples but I warn everyone that I can NEVER promise results – everything that happens after dark is mostly an experiment and you have to look at the experience of being out under those perfect skies as worth it, even if the photos don’t turn out. I didn’t need to worry about that. I think it turned out ok. ๐ When we planned this session I had NO idea that the Comet Neowise would be making an appearance over the Continental Divide! We decided to try and grab a couple shots of them, their beloved convertible, and the comet and they may be some of my favorite photos of all time.
