Brandon and Ro were married on a cool 100 degree afternoon in Pueblo. Despite the withering heat, we had a blast. By the time I left that night, I felt like part of their family.
This my favorite getting-ready photo of all time.
The getaway car. Coolest. Ever.
Sweet mural on the Pueblo Riverwalk. 
Bam. Look at those eyes. Ro is gorgeous.
Cake topper 
Old Town Carriage House on the Pueblo Riverwalk. It was beautiful. One of my favorite reception spots now.
This is the night I knew I was in love with Greg and Becky’s love. It’s quiet, it’s humble, it’s never~ending. I was in tears several times during their rehearsal dinner – I knew I was in trouble at their wedding the next day. Not only are Greg and Becky filled with love, but their families are exploding with it. I have never in my life felt so much love in one room. It was a truly amazing experience. I hope you can feel it through their photos as much as I could feel it that night. And just wait until you see their wedding photos. 
The parents and bridal party gift~giving was so emotional. 
Greg and Becky watching the slideshow that Greg’s father put together for them. It was amazing.
Jack and Naoma were married a few weekends ago at The Fine Arts Center in downtown Colorado Springs. I was actually just a second shooter for this wedding. I was shooting for Charlotte Geary Photography. I really enjoy assisting – I get to step back from all of the action and get a lot of detail shots that I don’t normally get. It helps me retrain my brain.

The first wedding of the season… I couldn’t wait for it to get here. Dan and Stephanie are two awesome, chill peeps and their wedding just happened to be in Aspen {swoon}. They were married in and partied at Sky Hotel. It’s one of the coolest hotels I’ve ever set foot in. I was so excited with the modern/log cabin feel… and the Alice in Wonderland chairs {see my obsession below}. Stephanie was absolutely gorgeous and Dan was dapper as could be. The love flowed between them through the entire day… I should have known this would happen after their engagement session. Amazing. Beautiful. Unreal. 
Always need a picture of the shoes.
They were afraid of getting rained out, so we ended up in this room for the ceremony. Check out the rockin’ light fixtures.
Bam. Gorgeous.
Aspen is just beautiful.
Alice in Wonderland.
- Love love all of these! Thanks so much Kim, we had a great time with you! I can't pick a favorite, I love all of them :)June 28, 2010 - 1:40 pm
Meet Diane. She owns a fabulous company called A Step Ahead Adoption, which was founded 11 years ago. They help place kiddos into loving homes through adoption. Check out her website at www.astepaheadadoption.com. If you’re looking to adopt, there’s no better person to help you.
This e-session was my most anticipated ever. First, they were bringing their bulldog, which made it incredibly hard to wait for their session to take place. I was like a kid on Christmas. Second, from the first email Katie sent me, we clicked. It was as if she was one of my oldest friends – like I had known her forever. We have so much in common it’s unreal. Last but not least, Ralph. He is getting deployed immediately following their wedding in July. You can sense their anticipation – their need to spend every moment together and just, well, be. Be happy. Be free. Be in love. I have never seen so much love radiate between two people. Take a peek and enjoy.
Look at that mug.
Love, love, love these next two. Tell me you can’t feel it – I dare you.
I suggested eloping… they weren’t going for it…
Bam. Look at that beauty.
Meet the most awesome peeps ever. Not only do these kiddos have the coolest names, they ARE the coolest. We met up at Cottonwood Creek Park and had an awesome time exploring and dodging frisbees from the frisbee golf course. Thanks guys, for putting your noggins in danger of getting hit in order to give me some awesome shots. Much appreciated

Meet Kody. I did a shoot of her sister Cyrus a couple years ago, and it was time to get some new shots with her. They are the two sweetest dogs ever.
A red heeler and a blue heeler… phew, that’s a lotta energy.
They own a pretty cool person too.
L.O.V.E. these next two. My new favorite shots for sure.
The end.
- OMG these are fantastic! I love them soooo much. Thank you again Kim, you are the best!!! DeniseMarch 4, 2010 - 8:51 pm
There’s just something about them.
Something fun. Something goofy. Something genuine.
Meet Brandon and Ro. When he wasn’t being silly to make her laugh, they were looking at each other with the most intense love I’ve ever witnessed.
They definitely have that something. I’m honored to capture it.
I couldn’t get enough of their shoes. I had to force myself to stop taking pictures of them.
Bam. Look at those eyes. Such a beauty.
These are my favorite photos of them. So genuine.
Wait. Maybe these are.
- Thank you so much for these lovely pictures! It was a pleasure spending the day with you and we are looking forward to working with you on our wedding day!March 2, 2010 - 8:28 pm
