I must say that this is the first wedding I’ve photographed where the bride rode a ski lift up to the ceremony! And what a change in scenery from their snowy winter engagement session here. Everyone enjoyed the incredible view and blue sky, and later they danced the night away at the reception. What a fun crowd!

A big congratulations to Katie and Brian! Here are just a few of my favorite moments from their day.

I’ll spare readers the image that sparked this reaction. Let’s just say it involved a moon…of sorts.

I find that it’s rare to have a “seamless” wedding day–where stress is minimal and everything goes according to plan. And yet, I have to say that Ashley and Matt’s wedding truly was a relaxed and joyous occasion. I attribute most of that to Ashley and Matt themselves. Nothing could ruin their happiness.

A big congratulations to them both! Here are just a few of my favorite moments and portraits.

Ashley and Matt carefully chose all of their music for the wedding. I have to say it was a refreshingly wonderful selection of classics that everyone enjoyed dancing to.
