Wedding
Written By Flora Gibson

Kelly and Sean were married at Camp Hale in Vail Colorado this past weekend. Their Colorado wedding was what dreams are made of, from the groomsmen fishing in lederhosen to the bridal party drinking in the rain I had so much fun being a part of their day. My two favorite moments of the day were Kelly and her dad's first look and the speeches! I’m really close to my dad so I may have been crying behind my camera when I saw a stoic dad like D cry when seeing Kelly for the first time. Normally speeches are not my favorite Kelly and Sean’s party brought it. I felt like I got to know them both so much better through their friend’s eyes. Hearing how Sean stood up for his deaf friend since they were children to how Kelly hasn’t fished since she was engaged had me crying and laughing all at the same time.

Thank you both so much for including me on your beautiful wedding day. I felt honored every second to be there and can’t wait to follow your adventures in marriage.

A little bit about Sean and Kelly in their own words:

Where did you meet? How did you know they were THE one?

We met through a mutual friend at an Oktoberfest event in downtown Denver. We weren't really "set up", but I thought he was funny. THE one...I think this was a thing that grew between us for many years.

What does your partner do that makes you laugh?

Funny dances & voices and the things he does when he plays with our dog.

what are you most looking forward to about being married?

Partnership, commitment, starting our own little family.

H + J chose Carmel by the Sea for their engagement session. They have known each other since high school, and their relationship is so full of laughter that it was easy to capture them naturally. I appreciate both of you for trusting me to preserve this time of your life in Carmel. I love Carmel for engagement sessions as a variety of landscapes and the ability to get away from crowds is second to none.

California Redwood Elopement

K + J eloped this week in the beautiful redwoods of California. They stayed at the beautiful Glen Oaks Big Sur and brought their amazing friend Micheal to perform a heartfelt ceremony in the redwoods. My favorite part of their day was how they got ready together in such a sweet way and set aside 10 min for creative photos in the light of their cabin. I loved the small cake that their friend made them with the cutest cake topper! ( a Polaroid of them!)

Deetjens Big Sur is one of my favorite hotels for clients to stay at during their California elopement. It is one of the oldest hotels in Big Sur, with its charm and unique vibes. S + M got ready at the beautiful antique cabin in the woods and their ceremony under the redwoods, followed by a first dance and picnic at the beach. What a beautiful day!
