I had a great trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico last month for my sister-in-law, Jen’s, wedding! We had a close call, with a possible category 5 huricane, but all we got was a little rain.
It was so fun to see the other side of weddings for a change. I had fun shooting for pleasure too! Not that my job isn’t the BEST!!!!! Here are some fun shots I took of my family, etc. while we were gone… Cabo
I’m finally ready to blog again!!! Whew! I am so honored to have been invited to the Present Moment Retreat in Troncones, Mexico again to shoot one of the owners (Tom) wedding! It was truly magical yet again! I may have to buy another home out there. Troncones is unreal! Here are some shots from Tom and Angelica’s wedding…
I’m off to shoot another gorgeous wedding in Troncones, Mexico! One of the owners of The Present Moment Retreat where I shot Justin and Emily’s wedding has asked me to photograph his wedding on the 18th. I am SO honored to be invited back! I look forward to showing you the photos from Tom and Angelica’s wedding soon!!!!
I will be returning late on the 21st, so if you have troubles reaching me it’s because I have minimal access to my computer and phone (Troncones is tiny). I will get back to you asap on the 22nd!!!!
By the way, if you haven’t already voted for me for the best of Denver in photography, please go here if you think I deserve to win!!!! Have a great weekend!

I am SO EXCITED to finally share the photos from Justin and Emily’s wedding in Troncones. I wish I had the words to describe my experience over the 6 days I was there with their wonderful group of family and friends as well as the locals, the food, and the unbelievable scenery. I guess I would say that Troncones, Mexico is one of my favorite places in the world. I am itching to get back there. The wedding and reception both took place right near the ocean waves at The Present Moment Retreat. It was SO MAGICAL! Thank you, thank you, thank you Emily, Justin, and the rest for including me as not only your photographer, but your friend! Here are some of my favorite shots from the wedding and trash the dress session Emily and Justin, but if you’d like to see the full slideshow, click here
Wow! What an awesome trip!!!!! I just got back from shooting Emily and Justin’s incredible wedding in Troncones, Mexico (near Acapulco and Zihuatanejo). I have to say that I think Troncones is one of my favorite places I’ve ever been!!!! It is friendly, secluded, tiny, gorgeous, and the food… oh the food! If you think you have had authentic Mexican food, you are in for a treat in Troncones. We bought an entire roasted chicken next to the small grocery store that was marinated and cooked over a fire pit in front of us that was unreal. I moaned through most of my meals…
I feel so fortunate to have been invited to join this wonderful group of people!!!! Emily and Justin treated me like family and I feel like all of their guests and I will be friends forever! Thank you SOOOOO much for having me.
I’ll leave you with one of the last shots from the whole trip. I took it after Emily and Justin’s trash the dress session. She was just strolling along the beach to soak it in one last time before their trip home and the pelicans decided to put on a show for her…

More to come later!!!!
Some of my favorite shots from Steph and Rod’s Trash the Dress session were the out takes of them getting bombarded with waves and their expressions afterwards. I thought I would share those so we could all have a good laugh!
Rod rolling around in the surf…
This may be my favorite…
Sweet Stephanie drying off Rod’s face after the last shot…
Thank you Rod and Stephanie for taking a chance on me and ruining your dress for the arts!!!
Day 3 of my trip to Playa was a great day to rest up and get to bed early for Steph and Rod’s Trash the Dress session. We met just before 6am so we could shoot during the sunrise and it was totally worth the loss of sleep! I am so excited to say that I think my first Trash the Dress session went really well, and it was a blast! I even trashed myself. It was great. So, without further delay…
Next Post: Trash the Dress out takes!
I am still in the editing process for their wedding photos, but I wanted to post some of the shots that have been standing out to me. I will probably post more when I get the editing done!
I’ve already put this shot of Steph putting on her makeup on my home page. I just thought it turned out really cool!
I just think she is STUNNING in this shot. She has the most beautiful doe eyes…
This one just cracked me up…
Her shoes were awesome!!!
Another gorgeous shot of Steph.
It was SO HOT on the wedding day! When we got back to Steph’s room it was a necesity that she cooled of with the blow dryer set on “cool.” This is one of the many hysterical shots I got of that…
This moment during the ceremony stood out to me…
A few beach portraits…
A peacock perched itself up on a nearby palapa during the reception. It was so cool!
I love this silouette during the first dance…
Next Post: Day 4 – my first Trash the Dress session!!!
I am so behind getting these posts up! If you haven’t heard, we are selling our house up in Fort Collins so we can make the move to Denver! We have been swarmed with showings this last week, so my work has not been getting done like I would have hoped. I am optimistic that this all means we will be moving soon though! Anyway, on to Steph and Rod’s wedding!!!!
I pulled into the Iberostar Quetzal hotel in Playa Del Carmen on May 7th and met up with Steph and Rod imediately so we could have a fun little engagement shoot by the ocean. I’m so glad we did because the photos turned out awesome! It is so fun to shoot somewhere completely different from what you’re used to. And the setting was gorgeous! The beach was perfectly sandy white and the water was aqua blue. We even had a cool steady breeze. Beautiful!!!!! Here are some of our shots from that day…
