A week ago today my father left this world for heaven. We'd learned right before Thanksgiving that major medical procedures were imminent and our time with him potentially was limited. God removed the hard route of him losing a great amount of quality of life for the reward of a swift trip home with heart failure on 11/28. It is a difficult thing to not get the chance for a physical goodbye to someone you have loved deeply and was your greatest role model. My dad shaped me more than any other individual in my life and gave me and my siblings such a rich life by leading by example. He modeled what living for the Lord looked like, and poured into each and everyone of his children, grandchildren and those in and around his life through the various ministries he was involved in. I've spent the last several days looking over old images and I'm so grateful for such a rich bank of sweet memories with him. The word mountain is one of the first words that comes to mind when I think of my dad. This picture is overlooking one of his favorite places for him and mom to take day trips in Estes Park. If you need just a small snapshot of the man he was, just watch the video attached of him interacting with my children at the end. My heart aches but I'm thankful for the promise of being united in glory with him. Soli Deo gloria.

Priyal will forever be a favorite. Stunning on every level.

Outdoor dining: Making indoors jealous since forever.

A dress change is always a good idea!

Already pulling out the dishes for Thanksgiving and getting ready to host two rounds of dinner. This invitation suite by Beautifully Noted embodies fall so well.

The fact that THIS is what I get to do for a living blows me away at every wedding. What an honor and privilege. I have so much thankfulness pulsing through my veins for such a beautiful and effortless year.

One of my favorite weddings last year was my smallest. Drew and Josh married at Smith Cabin in Aspen with the most breathtaking views and the closest of their family members. This small fete was truly magical as the guests dined on a four course meal as the sun set over the mountains and the first snow kissed the higher peaks. Though it was intimate Drew still cared about the details and Isabelle Kline executed the day flawlessly.

One of my favorite sayings that I tell my couples often is “You can have your photos, and cocktail hour too. There is no need to compromise on getting beautiful portraits and mingling with your guests with a drink in hand.”

A welcome celebrate at the Auberge in Telluride is never a bad idea.

Colorado was showing off for this beautiful engagement session. Can’t wait for Peter and Caroline’s mountain wedding next year.

The fall vibrancy in Cory’s bouquet was the perfect tie in with the inviting table scape from this lovely October celebration.

I truly loved the warm and inviting autumn colors from Catherine and Dustin’s day. The vibrant and intentional details were a perfect match for Saddle Ridge.

I have a head full of thoughts from this past weekend at New York Bridal Fashion week. Inspiration and fulfillment at every turn mixed with a barrage of emotions for our friends in Israel. It was an honor and sobering experience to participate in last weeks various shows and presentations.

I guess it's time to officially start channeling some fall content. You'll see more of this rad couple in the days to come. And yes, I said rad!
