Tali + Blake, what can I say?   This was one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever attended, maybe *the* most beautiful.  If I were to marry Josh again, this is where I'd get married, for-sure!  The Red Barn in Marshdale is full of amazing scenery, bright bold colors, great lighting and amazing views!

Tali and Blake live in DC and this was a destination wedding for them, I only met Tali the Wednesday before the wedding and Blake the day of the wedding (we communicated through email for months), but one thing that was obvious right away is that these two are very grateful; for their life, for their love for each other and for their wedding, the friends and family who traveled to be here with them and much more.  It was a blessing to meet both of them and with each wedding that I shoot, I learn something from my couples that I can apply positively to my marriage.  Its a beautiful thing and has made me really love doing wedding photography this year.

Please continue reading for lots more from Tali and Blake.

Wedding at the Red Barn in Marshdale, Colorado

The location for this wedding is stunning, the foothills of the Rocky Mountains are a beautiful backdrop for this location.  There is also a large field and amazing single tree in the center.

Tali had a beautiful dress, I love the lace detail and the little bolero top that went with it.

The Ladies...

Getting ready with mom and family, spending time reflecting and embracing the moment.  Tali and her mother have an amazing connection and I hope my daughter looks at me with such love and friendship when she is grown up.  There are so many amazing moments between the two, it was hard to include only a few for this post. The lacing of the corset, love corsets, beautiful, but they take a little while.

Weddings are emotional...good thing we have loved ones to make us smile.

 

The Guys....

 

Fun, goofy, glad to be spending time with each other and relishing in the day!

 

The Vows...

What a sweet wedding, the outpouring of love and thankfulness continued in Tali and Blake's wedding vows, readings and songs from their talented family and friends.

 

Just a few more bridal party photos...

Drinks in hand, no fears of grasshoppers, ready for their *fabulous* pictures in the field!

The Reception, the dancing, the fun stuff!

Thank you Tali and Blake, for allowing me to share in your day.  It will forever be in my heart.
