Blush & Bee Photography

Blush & Bee Photography Natural, Inclusive, Wedding Photography Serving the Western United States Photographs fill in those blanks and help keep our memories for us forever.

Remember looking through your grandmother's side table drawer and finding photos of her with her partner, best friend, you in her arms as a baby? Remember looking at an old magazine with photos of the past and how incredible it is that things have changed so much? In psychology, I learned that the human brain remembers small flashes of events that happen to a person, making any type of recollectio

n of a story full of holes, like Swiss cheese, that we fill in with what we assume to have happened. As a photographer, I keep all of these things in mind, knowing that as we get older we start losing more and more things. Whether it's a dog, a sibling, or an injury that causes you to lose your memory, having a photo is priceless. Choosing a photographer shouldn't be an after thought, knowing that hiring a bad one could mean losing your memory of one of the biggest moments of your life. We all have that one photographer friend who takes photos as a hobby. Why risk ruining a relationship with a loved one, or making them work while everyone gets to party? Hire Blush and Bee Photography to preserve your memories, and help you create new ones. Offering affordable wedding packages with free engagement sessions so we can get to know each other before the big day. Any single hour session gets a free polaroid. Need help planning?

Where are you located? I live in Denver, Colorado and serve Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Texas, Kansas and pretty much anywhere else. How long will it take to get my photos? I go home right after our session and get you a sampler within 24 hours. Then I spend 6-8 weeks looking at your beautiful face and deliver a digital album to your email. This album can be shared with all your family. You then get to choose 5 photos for me to print and mail to you. What if I don't like the photos? Not many photographers can answer this question truthfully, but honestly when you pay someone to take your photos you give up the control that comes with taking your own pictures. If you aren't ready to give up this level of control, consider hiring a photographer, and a videographer. Having both mediums takes away from relying on just one person to do a good job on the whole project. To increase your chances of liking your photos, have a party with a lot of different activities. Make sure your venue is gorgeous and the lighting is bright. Make sure your event isn't too drawn out, and long. The longer the party is the less dynamic material a photographer has to work with, and the less pictures you will feel like you are getting. Be realistic. Will there be a two hour long cocktail hour and only 30 guests, and no games? What will/should the photographer be taking photos of? Will there be two hours of straight dancing? Plan your event to happen in a way that keeps your party just as engaged as you would like for your photographer to be. Think about the types of photos you would like and plan a party to get those shots. What are things I can do to make sure I like my pictures? A photographer has a camera that takes mirror images of what is in front of it. The worst photos I have taken weren't because of me; I cannot make you look like Kim Kardashian. In order to get the best looking photos you will need to bring your best outfits, get your make up/hair done and do touch ups in between takes. Try your outfits on at home and sit in them, get them wrinkly, watch how your body looks if the wind blows etc... Practice making faces in the mirror. Bring a brush to the shoot and brush your hair in between takes. Bring props that help personalize your photos. Talk with your photographer about the best times to have your event or session.

There is a distinct, beautiful energy to the morning of a wedding day. Before the guests arrive, before the music starts, and before the grand moments unfold, there is a quiet chapter of pure anticipation. 🤍

Getting ready at The Simon in Louisville was the absolute perfect backdrop for these moments. The light spilling into the space, the soft laughter shared with close friends, and the calm realization that the moment is finally here, these are the unscripted, candid fragments of the day that deserve to be remembered just as fiercely as the ceremony itself.

It’s in these quiet, beautiful in-between spaces where the true heart of the day begins to beat. Such a joy to capture this beautiful bride stepping into her next chapter. 🌟

Every now and then, it’s incredibly life giving to step outside the beautiful, fast-paced rush of real wedding days and simply play. 🤍

Getting to dive into this gorgeous styled shoot with Styled Shoots Across America was the perfect breath of fresh air. Without the timeline pressure of a live event, it was a day dedicated entirely to slowing down, testing new creative boundaries, and having pure, unadulterated fun behind the camera alongside an amazing community of creators.

But as much as these days are a creative playground for me, the real winner is always my clients.

When a photographer invests time in styled shoots, it’s so much more than just capturing a pretty setup. It’s a masterclass in honing our craft. These spaces give us the room to experiment with complex lighting, test unique angles, and play with composition in ways that a fast moving wedding day doesn’t always allow.

By pushing the boundaries here, I’m building a sharper eye and a more refined skill set to bring back to your big day. It means when the pressure is on, I know exactly how to capture your real, candid, unscripted moments with even more precision and artistry.

Creative play always fuels the best work. So incredibly grateful for this day of learning and growth! ✨

There are seasons where love has to be more than a feeling, it has to become a sanctuary. When a grief so profound and quiet settles into the spaces of a life, it changes the very air you breathe. It’s a heartbreak carried in the unspoken, heavy corners of the soul, where the world feels entirely different than it did before.

But looking at these two, you see the quiet, fierce grace of a love that refuses to fracture.

True connection isn't just woven from the easy, sunlit days; it is forged in the deep trenches of shared sorrow. It’s found in the way they lean into each other when the weight is too much to carry alone. It is the silent, fierce understanding that says, I am right here, I see you, and we are holding fast. Their love hasn’t just weathered a storm, it has become a safe harbor, a gentle testament that choosing to hold onto each other amidst the quiet ache is a profound act of courage.

Holding The Bradford Family close in my thoughts and heart as they navigate a truly heavy loss. 💛

There is a quiet, intentional magic that happens when two people stop rushing through the world and simply turn toward one another. We live in a culture that moves at breakneck speed, yet the moments that truly define the landscape of our lives are entirely still. They are found in the soft space where two hands meet, the unprompted laughter that fills an open field, and the grounding comfort of a shared glance.

True connection isn't about perfection or performance. It is documentarian by nature, found in the unscripted, candid in between moments where you pull each other close and let the rest of the world fade into a blur. It’s a reminder that amidst all the noise, having a safe harbor in another person is the ultimate act of defiance and joy.

Look closely at the quiet ways you lean into each other. That is where the real story lives. 🤍

The best kind of love stories aren't meant to be hidden away. They’re meant to be celebrated out in the open, surrounded by massive skies and the people who matter most.

When couples book a wedding with me, I always include a complimentary engagement session. Why? Because of exactly what you see right here with Meagan and Dustin. It’s not just about getting comfortable in front of the camera (though that's a huge bonus!); it’s about having a dedicated day to just be together, laugh through the dust, and capture your unfiltered, genuine dynamic before the big day arrives.

From quiet moments against the rocks to chasing the desert horizon, Meagan and Dustin brought the absolute best energy to the desert. 🌵⛰️

Let’s find a view, plan your engagement session, and document some real magic.

Drop a 🤍 if you’re obsessed with this desert aesthetic as much as I am!

✨ Golden hour, endless laughs, and a love that just feels like home. ✨

There is something so beautiful about watching two people who are completely, effortlessly themselves around each other. From quiet moments stolen between the trees to the absolute chaos and joy of including their favorite furry family member, Bailey and Kevin’s energy is pure magic. 🤍

Whether they're walking hand in hand through the trails at Lair of the Bear Park, or getting playful kisses from their puppy, their connection is the kind that tells a story without needing any words at all. Here’s to the beautiful chapters they’ve already written, and the stunning pages still to come. 🥂🐶

🌿 To First Look or Not to First Look? 🌿

One of the questions I hear most often is: "Should we do a first look?"

While every part of your wedding day is 100% up to you, I always love sharing why a first look can be such a grounding, beautiful way to start the day. If you’re on the fence, here are a few pros to consider:

A Private Moment Just for You: Your wedding day can be a whirlwind of people and logistics. A first look gives you 15–20 minutes of quiet time to actually talk, hug, and take it all in together before the ceremony rush begins.

Shake the Nerves: If the thought of all those eyes on you makes you jittery, seeing your partner beforehand can be an instant "deep breath." It usually turns those butterflies into pure excitement.

More Time for Photos (and the Party!): Knocking out portraits early means you get to spend your cocktail hour actually eating those hors d'oeuvres and mingling with your favorite people instead of rushing through family formals.

Twice the Reveal: You still get that "walking down the aisle" moment! But with a first look, you get a much more intimate reaction that’s just between the two of you.

At the end of the day, there is no wrong answer, only what feels right for your story.

What do you think? Team First Look or Team Tradition? Let me know in the comments!

Captured by the ethereal details at The Bradford in North Carolina.

There’s something truly magical about a perfectly designed ceremony space, and this floral arch was an absolute showstopper. Combining the classic elegance of white roses with the delicate, modern touch of cascading orchids, it felt like stepping into a romantic garden dream. The way the light hit the textures of the blooms against the backdrop of the venue was every photographer’s dream.

Getting to photograph these intricate details is such a highlight of styled shoots. It’s the perfect time to slow down, focus on the artistry behind the florals and design, and capture the intentionality that goes into creating a high-end wedding experience.

From the stunning gowns to the architectural floral installations, every element of this day was a beautiful reminder of why I love this industry. It’s all about the inspiration that happens when talented creatives come together to push the boundaries of design!

Capturing the magic in North Carolina! 📸

Styled shoots are such a beautiful whirlwind. While the final images look serene and effortless, the reality is a fast-paced environment where the scene, lighting, and "story" change every 25 minutes.

One of the most vital skills I’ve honed is the ability to collaborate and work with other photographers on the fly. When you're all sharing a space to capture that perfect detail or a fleeting moment of light, communication and quick adaptation are everything. It’s about more than just getting the shot; it’s about moving in sync with a creative team to make sure every perspective is honored.

I'm so grateful for these high-energy days that push my creativity and remind me why I love the art of storytelling through my lens.

Soft morning light and fresh citrus zest. 🍋

There is something so magical about the quiet moments before the "I do's", the heirloom details, the scent of fresh mint and lemons, and that stunning tulle waiting for its moment. Sienna and Beckham, your day was a literal dream.

From the elegant floral liners to the romantic North Carolina breeze, every detail at The Bradford felt like a breath of fresh air. Swipe to see a glimpse into this spring wedding perfection.
