It was great getting to know Allie and Ben, who were recently engaged, when we met them for a photo shoot in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  The air was crisp and cold, but Allie and Ben were up for anything! We had fun; beginning in an Aspen grove, then heading to the famous Steamboat Barn, and ending the afternoon strolling the downtown streets of Steamboat. Allie was so creative, bringing lots of hats, jackets, shoes, coffee mugs, and her two sisters, and yes, her eyes are that blue! All that Ben needed was his dog, his blanket…and of course, Allie!  Congratulations Allie and Ben!

Kara and Mike’s beautiful wedding was in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, on Mt. Werner, at the top of the gondola.  The day was filled with joy and happiness, heartfelt tears, and a few rain drops followed by a gorgeous sunset.  A big thank you goes out to Kara and Mike and their families for letting Emily and me be a part of their unbelievable day.  We wish you many years of happiness!!!
