Rachel & John – Spruce Mountain Ranch – Colorado Wedding Photographer

So what happens when you mix one determined bride with 16 degree weather and a snow storm? Some of the most gorgeous wedding photos I’ve taken! Rachel and John didn’t have much luck with Colorado’s unpredictable, sporadic weather this past year. At their engagement session in May, we had a blizzard when we expected summer weather. We joked that day that their November wedding would end up being another snow storm. Maybe we jinxed it, considering it’s been nearly 70 degrees for the last two weeks this February. But regardless, Rachel blew me away with her determination to get some gorgeous photos. At one point, even though she was shaking, she removed her fur shaw because she wanted to make sure she had photos of her dress. And boy did it pay off! We were very glad to get back inside to warm up and had quite a fun, lively party waiting for us to do just that. I am so thankful for my clients that trust me, place just as much importance in their photos as I do, and are willing to do anything with me to get the best shots for their day!
