Joe+Caroline / The Story / Grand Lake, Colorado Wedding

If you thought this post was massive, you should know that Joe+Caroline’s love for each other, friends, and families is a million times bigger… Grand Lake, Colorado was the perfect setting for this beautiful love story. We really didn’t know what to expect from this tiny town, but by the end of the day, we were completely blown away.

There really isn’t anything more flattering than being asked by another professional photographer to photograph their wedding. So when Caroline, asked me to document their story, I knew I had to nail it. But really, J+C made it easy for me by being so incredibly warm and loving. Couldn’t ask for more… Truly.

If you loved their wedding story, you’ll flatline at their wedding portraits.

If you missed it before, you can see Joe+Caroline’s engagement from the day before their wedding HERE.

You perfectly captured the feel of the entire wedding, the beautiful site and the amazing love that Joe and Caroline have for each other. Beautiful photos!!!!

Oh, Carly. Absolutely scrumptious location, couple, and photos. And, they did the cake/face smoosh just like you like!

Rad as hell, Carly. Weddings like this remind how lucky I am to shoot and live in Colorado :)

You are my hero, and this blog rocks my freaking socks off. Heck of a job capturing some very powerful emotions in each shot.

Joe+Caroline / Engagement in Grand Lake, Colorado

If I didn’t love Seattle so much, I could easily see myself picking up and moving to the beautiful backwoods of Colorado. There was something about this place that resonated with me. Something in the air, the trees, in the faces of those we spent our time with… I’m not blowing smoke! I really, truly loved it and George and I both agree—we really wanna go back. As soon as possible, please. As long as the reason we’re going is as awesome as Joe+Caroline.

After their engagement, we met up with Joe, Caroline, and their families for the rehearsal dinner and we barely got 10 minutes into our meal before we discovered that J+C are a very special couple. Together since high school and finally getting married after six years together. And story after story told by family members… It was a laughter and tearful evening. For George and me, it was like visiting friends we haven’t seen a long time… Like we’ve known them forever and we were just picking up where we left off.

I’m excited to share their wedding with you. I really think you’re going to love it…

Loving this session Carly. The tones all suit it to perfection. You’re magic!
