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.

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.

High in the Colorado Rockies, early morning light hits a little differently- especially when you’ve flown all the way from Boston with the love of your life (and your best four-legged friend) to say “Yes!” 🏔️

Brian and Logan’s sunrise proposal at Loveland Pass was absolute magic. Wrapped in the quiet stillness of an 8:00 AM mountain breeze, 12,000 feet up, they took the next big step in their story. Rosie, their sweet pup, was the ultimate maid of honor, proudly keeping watch while the sun broke over the peaks.

And can we talk about that ring? A stunning center diamond flanked by two vibrant emeralds- a classic design with a bold, timeless soul that matches their love story perfectly. 💚💎

Destination proposals hold a special place in my heart, and moments like this remind me why capturing real, unscripted love in wild spaces is what it’s all about.

Congratulations, Brian & Logan! Here’s to a lifetime of adventures, alpine sunrises, and endless dog walks with Rosie. 🥂

There’s something truly magic about saying “I do” surrounded by the majestic peaks of Crested Butte, CO. Mountain air, intimate moments, and a love story for the books!

I often get asked about the difference between elopements and microweddings—and more importantly, what an elopement timeline actually looks like.

Here’s why intentional structure makes all the difference:

⛰️ The Reality of Elopement Timelines (4–6 Hours):

People often wonder, "If it’s just the two of us, why do we need 4 to 6 hours of coverage?" Because an elopement isn’t a quick photo shoot—it’s an entire experience! That time accounts for traveling between rugged spots, hiking out to breathtaking overlooks, popping champagne, and taking moments to just stop and take it all in. Plus, we’re often racing the sun—tracking light as it dips behind mountain peaks to capture that effortless, golden-hour glow across multiple locations.

☀️ Ultimate Control & Flexibility:

With a smaller guest list or just the two of you, you aren't bound by rigid venue schedules or caterer call-times. Want to pivot your vow exchange because afternoon storm clouds rolled over Crested Butte? You can! When you're not managing 150 guests, you have total freedom to curate the schedule around nature, movement, and light.

Kevin + Bailey’s Crested Butte celebration showed just how incredible it is when you lean into intentional timing—bringing their favorite people together in one of the most stunning places in Colorado while keeping the entire day relaxed, authentic, and focused on what matters most.

The sweetest day celebrating Camille and Charlie! 🥂

These two started their big day with an unforgettable first look over at the Moxy Hotel in Boulder, followed by stunning bridal and wedding party portraits taking in those iconic views at Chautauqua Park!

After soaking in all the pre wedding magic under the Flatirons, everyone headed into the canyon where Camille and Charlie tied the knot surrounded by rushing waters and lush green pines at Wedgewood Boulder Creek. Every single moment was packed with pure joy, sweet tear-jerker vows, and the kind of laughter that makes your cheeks hurt in the best way possible. 🌲💍

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs.! Wishing you both a lifetime filled with endless love, epic trail hikes, and forever adventures together. 💕

July 2nd was already special because it was my birthday, but getting to spend it in Breckenridge watching Tyler and Carissa get engaged made it truly unforgettable! 💍

The wildfire smoke created this incredibly soft, dreamlike haze over the mountains—giving the whole backdrop a moody, ethereal glow that felt straight out of a storybook. Between the stunning Colorado views, the golden light, and the pure, unscripted joy on their faces, it was such an honor to document the exact moment their next chapter began. 🏔️🤍

💀 "Do you have anything… less cheesy?"

The words every photographer longs to hear from their mentor.

There I was, proudly showing off a gallery of what I thought was pure, unadulterated mountaintop romance, when the reality check hit. Turns out, my mentor’s tolerance for "epic romance" is a little more candid reality and a little less hallmark movie cover.

Message received. 🫡

As a documentary photographer, I usually pride myself on capturing the raw, unscripted, completely unposed moments. But apparently, even I can get swept up in the mountain air and go full cheesy romantic.

So, per executive orders, we are stripping back the layers of gouda. Less "look deeply into each other's souls while the wind perfectly catches your hair," and more of the real stuff: the laughing-so-hard-your-stomach-hurts, the slightly awkward wind blown faces, and the genuine, chaotic joy of a wedding day.

Swipe through for some frames that passed the strict, non cheesy inspection. (And maybe one or two that I snuck in anyway because I just can't help myself). 🧀➡️

Wildflowers & Forever: Bailey & Kevin in Crested Butte

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you leave the traditional wedding playback behind and head straight for the heart of the Rockies.

Bailey and Kevin did exactly that, saying their vows surrounded by the dramatic peaks and iconic summer wildflowers of Crested Butte, Colorado. No stiff, over rehearsed staging—just two beautiful souls completely caught up in the moment, laughing through their vows, and holding each other tight against the mountain wind.

As a documentary photographer, these are the unscripted moments that make my heart race. The quiet, deep exhale right after the rings are slipped on. The explosive, unfiltered joy of the first walk as husband and wife. The way they completely forgot the camera was even there and just focused on each other.

I’m going to be completely honest: I didn’t really realize what it took to hike and bike with a bottle of champagne, two professional cameras, and enough water for a 5-mile excursion until I was halfway through it.

But the second Jackson dropped to one knee and asked Kayla to marry him at the historic Interlaken Resort at Twin Lakes, every single ounce of sweat was immediately forgotten.

No stiff poses, no over-rehearsed staging—just pure, unscripted shock, overwhelming joy, and a stunning Colorado backdrop that felt like it belonged entirely to them. Capturing this kind of genuine, chaotic, and beautiful magic is exactly why I do what I do (even if it means a little impromptu cardio!).

Huge congratulations to Kayla and Jackson! Swipe through to see the exact moment she said YES. ➡️

I’m not usually patriotic, but this couple has me waving the American flag. 🇺🇸

Ben and Brittany went ahead and turned the Fourth of July into the ultimate anniversary. They officially tied the knot in Gunnison, Colorado, and honestly, the fireworks had nothing on the energy these two brought to the mountains. ⛰️❤️

No stiff, over-rehearsed staging here. Just pure, unscripted magic, incredible mountain views, and a celebration that perfectly matched the sparks in the air. As a documentary photographer, catching this kind of raw, chaotic, and beautiful joy is exactly why I love what I do.

Swipe through to catch a glimpse of their perfect, star-spangled day! ➡️
