TELLURIDE ENGAGEMENT SESSION | MARGARET & RYAN

This past January, I went with Casey of Pink Diamond Events, Margaret and Ryan's wedding planner, to Telluride. Margaret's family has a house in Ridgway which is where the famous western was filmed, True Grit. The new Tarantino film The Hateful 8 was filmed here too, and Ralph Lauren's Double RL Ranch is here. This is a stunning part of Colorado, especially in winter! I enjoyed getting to know Margaret and Ryan better, and photographing this time in their lives…

DENVER ENGAGEMENT & FAMILY SESSION | ASHLEY & SEAN

Colorado weather is very unpredictable in the winter...but one thing is for certain, the sun is usually shining! We had a gorgeous day for Ashley and Sean's engagement session a couple of weeks ago in January. We went to a couple locations in downtown Denver, including the park near this sweet family's home. I am obsessed with how beautiful Ashley looks in red (she reminds me of Julia Roberts!), and it was so much fun to include Sean's son in…

FORT COLLINS PRAIRIE ENGAGEMENT SESSION | ASHLEY & CHRIS

Ashley and Chris had their engagement session recently in Fort Collins at a prairie landscape near Horsetooth Mountain. I loved the summery feel of their session and the dramatic skies after the rain! Ashley's beautiful sage green dress and necklace are from one of my favorite Fort Collins boutiques, Sunday Supply Co. Looking forward to seeing Ashley and Chris again at their Stanley Hotel wedding, and meeting their family and friends from Pennsylvania and Texas!

SCOTT & KYLE | LEADVILLE COLORADO ENGAGEMENT SESSION

I was really looking forward to Scott and Kyle's engagement session because I have never been to Leadville Colorado. Scott & Kyle were high school sweethearts and will be the tying the knot at Spruce Mountain Ranch in 2016. Kyle suggested we do their session at Twin Lakes near Leadville which is where her family has a cabin. I am so happy she suggested this location as it is not only beautiful, but personal as well! There is no better…

ROCKY MOUNTAIN BRIDE | KYLE & KRISSY’S COLORADO MOUNTAIN ENGAGEMENT SESSION

The part of my job that I love most is getting to meet some amazing people in this world and helping them to capture some of their memories so they can share them with their children and grandchildren. I just love people's stories and connecting with them on a personal level...and trying to capture their unique personalities and emotions with my camera. One of my favorite couples that I have had the pleasure of photographing is Kyle and Krissy. Kyle…

KAI & CHRISTINA | CHEROKEE CASTLE ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Kai & Christina's engagement session at Cherokee Ranch and Castle near Denver Colorado was amazing! I love the history and setting of this castle in Colorado, and it is a great location for weddings. Christina is originally from Jakarta Indonesia (a place I'd love to go to!) and wore a beautiful traditional Indonesian dress for part of the session. I is a modern twist of the kebaya dress, which is a traditional dress from Java. She met Kai who is…

Janine and Joshua's wedding website on squarespace with engagement photography by Lisa O'Dwyer, Fort Collins Colorado wedding photographer

WEDDING WEBSITE | SQUARESPACE

I photographed Janine and Josua's engagement session in Fort Collins in October. You can see more here. Janine just showed me the wedding website that she created using her engagement session photographs and I had to share. I just love it! Sometimes wedding websites can look very uninspiring…especially the template ones that link up to more famous wedding websites. Janine's website is very elegant and sophisticated which shows off their personal style and makes a great first impression for their…
