A NOTE FROM THE NEWLYWEDS

Our favorite part of our wedding day was being surrounded by our closest friends and family and getting to celebrate our love! We had so much fun planning a wedding that was so “us” filled with corn hole cocktail hour, custom m&ms with our dog’s face on them, and signature mocktails. Watching our video back and looking through photos, you can feel the joy and love that filled that day. - Sean + Hannah, Newlyweds

from the photographer

Hannah and Sean were an absolute blast to work with! They were so relaxed and just enjoyed being in the moment, which led to the most genuine and fun interactions. The love they share and all their inside jokes had them laughing nonstop—I had no idea what they were giggling about half the time, but it was so contagious. Add in the joy from their friends, family, and their sweet pup Moose, and their day was nothing short of amazing. - Katie, Katie Blondin Photography

A NOTE FROM THE PLANNER

At the last minute Gwen and Bryan had to pivot their ceremony spot because there was 14 feet of snow at the ceremony site! What a weird spring. Gwen and Bryan handled the transition with such grace and their photographer, Megan from the Light Seeker knocked it out of the park. You could definitely tell they were so excited to hang out with their people and celebrate. Plus, they really knew how to throw a party! The glow sticks and confetti were such a fun touch to the dance party!” - Amber, The Perfect Day Co.

A NOTE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Sarah and Forrest are two of the most genuine, welcoming people you could meet. Their wedding was a true celebration of nature and adventure, hosted over a weekend at the picturesque Drowsy Water Ranch in Granby, Colorado. Guests stayed in cozy cabins and enjoyed a variety of outdoor activities—from horseback riding and ziplining to exploring the stunning mountain landscape. With delicious meals provided by the ranch, friends and family gathered from near and far to celebrate and connect in this beautiful setting. - Kristina Rusch, Krush Photography

from the couple

Our favorite part of the wedding was riding horses to the ceremony site. Our guests were sitting with Mint Julips overlooking the Continental Divide. A solo violinist played Elvis Presley songs under the Aspens that had just turned gold a few days before. We “walked down the aisle” on a pair of Standardbred Percherons and said “I do” in boots and cowboy hats. - Sarah + Forrest, Newlyweds

First, we are going to have a blast. I use fun prompts, simple poses, dumb jokes, and a journalistic approach to capture candid moments and your authentic selves. You’re going to look at the photos I capture and say, “Damn, that’s US”. The second thing is that I will do whatever I can to make your life simpler during your planning process. I’m going to help create your wedding day timeline and help you create the elopement of your dreams. I am always going to be in your corner!

Before you start planning, take a moment to write down the most important things for you and your partner for your wedding.

A NOTE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHER

My inspiration for Whimsy and Woofs came from a desire to celebrate the joy pets bring to our lives—especially on such a meaningful day as a wedding! So many couples want their furry friends included, and this shoot was all about creating a dreamy, whimsical setting that allowed pets to be part of those cherished wedding memories. I envisioned a space where the charm of wedding traditions met the playfulness of having pets present. - Katie, Katie

on inspiration

To make this shoot come alive, we brought in an incredible team of vendors who share a love for pets. We had a dedicated wedding day pet handler to ensure each pup was happy and well taken care of, and even a dog treat company to pamper them with special snacks. Every detail, from the lighthearted floral arrangements to the playful photo moments, was designed to capture that carefree, magical feeling that pets bring into our lives—and to show couples just how seamlessly their pets can be included in their own wedding day festivities. - Katie, Katie Blondin Photography

Among the Aspens

A NOTE FROM THE VENUE

This shoot was inspired by the vibrant fall colored Aspens surrounding the property. We wanted to showcase weddings, events and retreats as an option at the property. My husband Tommy, with Cowden Custom Woods, created the ceremony site arch & benches from the trees that were cut down to grate the ceremony/ reception spaces. Our goal is to show how accommodating and customizable our unique venue can be.
