A Colorado Wedding

I've been waiting to show this wedding I shot last year in Dunton Hot Springs for awhile now and am so excited to finally get to. I had an incredible team to work with along with a beautiful location and a great client! Thanks to Jolene Sullivan who designed and styled everything, Studio Choo for the flowers, Les Tableaux for the fine china, Mr. Boddington Studio for the paper goods and Neither Snow for the calligraphy. For more details visit Design Sponge. Enjoy!

Kristin & David

I've been looking forward to sharing this wedding with you for awhile but I needed to wait until Martha Stewart published it in their December '11 issue! Kristin and David were married in one of my favorite places Barga, Italy, in northern Tuscany. It was such a delight spending time in the village and shooting their beautiful wedding. The ceremony was held at Agriturismo I Cedri and the reception was at Villa Sognare.

If you need a great book for your coffee table then Kinfolk is it! Every shoot in the book is beautiful and so inspirational. Thanks to Chelsea over at Oh My Deer Handmades and Elise of Pennyweight who designed and wrote the story and thanks to Kinfolk for asking us to be a part of it!
