When I was in San Francisco for Meenah & Shaobo‘s wedding {coming to the blog soon!} I had the opportunity to meet up with Tiffany & Jeremy for a sweet engagement session in Muir Woods and the nearby beach. I had no idea that just on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge lay such beauty – I drove along in utter amazement as I crossed through the magical little town of Sausalito, alongside small bays, through rolling grassy hills, and finally, up to the gorgeous expanse of trees that makes up the woods. All week long the forecast called for an 80% chance of rain, but as it always seems to do, the weather turned in our favor and not a drop fell the entire day.

Tiffany & Jeremy booked me over email/phone, so it was so exciting to finally meet them in person! They are so sweet and perfect together and I can’t wait for their lovely norcal wedding at Fogarty Winery next summer!

Now, have I mentioned how much I LOVE shooting in the woods?

The setting is a crisp autumn day in Vail, CO. The leaves have all changed colors – the hills, with their aspen trees, are blanketed entirely in a fiery spectacle of yellow and gold. The sweetest bride is getting ready in her hotel room, surrounded by a bustling collection of happy bridesmaids & family. She slips on her shimmery gold slippers and runs outside for her first look. There are tears and “I love yous”. There are laughs. The ceremony, officiated by a friend, is personal & heartwarming. The details are rustic, eclectic, and beautifully crafted. (There is heart-shaped confetti!!) The evening is filled with dancing, with words of congratulations & silly stories, with joy.

And a giddy photographer is asking someone to, pinch me, please??

Meghan & Jason’s wedding was utterly unbelievable in every way. Having met them at their engagement session, I knew they were THE sweetest and most laidback couple and shared a love that was so big & true, and their wedding was a perfect reflection of this in every way. I feel so blessed to have been able to fly out to Vail for their breathtaking day at the Sonnenalp Resort. I was also beyond excited to work with Andrea of AK Haydon Floral Designs. We randomly become twitter friends and when I saw she was based in Denver, I excitedly forwarded Meghan & Jason her name, they booked her, and below is the result of her vibrantly bringing their visions to life.

Enjoy!

Love this moment of Meghan with her dad & sister…

I’m always sharing random iPhone snaps on twitter, but realized I never really post any up here :) Thought I’d share a few to tide you over while I prep some soon-to-be posted weddings & sessions! All of the below are shot using my favorite photo app in the whole wide world, CrossProcess.

P.S. I love food, is it obvious.
