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.

🌿 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.

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.

There is something so restorative about reconnecting with your creative community. After an unforgettable experience in France with , I was over the moon to find out our paths would cross again stateside.

I originally flew out to North Carolina to catch up with a dear friend, but the universe clearly had a little extra inspiration in store. When I realized there was a styled shoot happening just down the road from where I was staying, booking a ticket was a no brainer. The day was a complete sensory delight; from the architectural floral designs to the effortless flow of the gowns, every detail was a testament to the talent in this industry.

I often get asked what photographers do during the "slower" spring months. For me, this is a season of intentional growth. Whether it’s traveling for a reunion like this, networking with fellow professionals, or mastering new technical skills, I’m constantly looking for ways to refine my eye and my craft. It’s days like these that remind me why I love what I do, it’s about the art, but it’s also about the incredible people you meet along the way.

From college dorms in 2007 to North Carolina sunsets in 2026. 🥂

Dr. Amanda Massey has been by my side for nearly two decades. She’s not just one of my best friends; she’s the person who coached me through injuries that I truly don’t think would have healed without her expertise. Dr. Massey has a unique approach that is specific to each client. From cupping, cold laser, fascia scrapping, and voodoo floss, Amanda treats each person as an individual and provides them the best care possible.

Seeing her rebuild her business in a new state, all while navigating life as a newlywed, is so inspiring. I loved getting behind the lens to snap some new brand photos for her. There’s nothing like seeing your best friend truly in her element and glowing.

I’ve spent the last week packing up eight years of memories. It’s hard to put into words what it feels like to leave a house that became a sanctuary for so many. We built a family through shared dinners and annual traditions, and hearing our friends and neighbors' stories about our backyard this week has been the greatest parting gift.

It makes me hold onto moments like these even tighter.

Celebrating Domi’s 40th was a milestone in every sense of the word. Domi, you came into my life two years ago and changed my perspective on friendship entirely. Getting to document you celebrating with your parents and your partner was an honor. Witnessing your journey has been the best part of my year.

Ten years in the making, and it couldn't have been more perfect.

Parker and Laura finally said "I do" against the most serene lakeside backdrop in Littleton this April. There is something incredibly special about a love that has already stood the test of a decade, it’s steady, it’s deep, and it’s beautifully lived in. Watching them celebrate this new chapter after ten years together was a reminder that the best things are always worth the wait.

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs.! Wishing you a lifetime of more lakeside sunsets and decades of happiness. 🥂💍

Sandra and Matthew are absolute goals. 🔥 Watching them, I realized that’s the exact kind of fire I want to carry with me into my 50s. At a certain point, the only way to capture their AMAZING dancing skills was to blur the image on purpose.

I see so many people in their 30s talking like life is hitting the finish line, but my work has shown me the truth: age is strictly a vibe. You can be 100 at 35, or 25 at 50. It’s all about the mindset you choose to bring to the table. The only real rule? Live it to the absolute fullest. 🤩

Because some memories need more than a still frame.

Photography has always been my way of standing between us and forgetting the people who made us who we are. But there’s a certain magic in hearing the catch in a voice during vows, the rustle of a veil in the mountain breeze, and the sound of laughter during the first dance.

I am so thrilled to announce that video is officially arriving at Blush and Bee! 🎥

We are now offering video coverage in our wedding packages to help you bottle up those fleeting, beautiful sounds and movements forever. Now, you can relive your day in every dimension.
