Cañon City Wedding: Tracey & Mike – Pt II

We pick up part two of Tracey and Mike’s day with this sweet moment between the mothers just before the ceremony.  Tracey’s parents are from Nova Scotia, so this weekend was the first time all the parents met.

It’s go time!


Immediately after the ceremony, I followed Tracey and Mike to the back of the church and grabbed some of those “Oh sweet Moses, we just got hitched!” kind of moments. :-) And, I’m not gonna lie… this shot is grossly overexposed, but there is still something so gorgeous about it and I. heart. it. My dear friend, Joe Buissink – a Beverly Hills photographer, always say, “There’s no such thing as a perfect photograph, only a perfect moment.”  Amen, brother. Prime example:

Love love love these next four!  Best emotions ever.

My angle:

Jesie’s:

While I took a spin with Mike and Trace, Jesie hung back and grabbed this shot.

We headed down to a little apple orchard called Colon Orchards.  When I was just a tiny tot, I used to ride my bike down to this orchard and buy apple juice. Who would’ve thought I’d be photographing brides and grooms in it someday?

Ugh, these next ones make my little heart so happy.

Aren’t they cutest?

Reception goodness to come!

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
