I could throw a lot of the fanciest, most glowing words at these folks and their wedding. It was some kind of celebration in one of the more cozy, picturesque nooks of southwest Colorado; and most importantly it was perfectly, well, them. Hunter & Erin were wed in the late morning next to a creek just a short walk off the beaten path amidst their closest friends and family; lunch was served underneath the shedding cottonwoods; and lawn games were aplenty.

Venue: Ridgewood Event Center

If we're being honest, we weren't quite aware that a dance party of this magnitude could be had at a wedding.

Chock-full of moments, this one was... and it served as a good reminder that blue hour portraits are never, ever a bad idea.

Every year we say that it surely can't get any better; that the past twelve months were as good as it gets. But yet, to this point, we're fortunate to have always been wrong.

For us, this past year was a particularly potent and evident equation of the most talented players and partners in the industry, the kindest and most hospitable clients, the most supportive friends and family, some hard work and, admittedly, a fair bit of good fortune.

This practice of reflecting back on the past year is one of our favorites, and it always resolves squarely onto gratitude — so, if you're reading this, we undoubtedly owe you a heartfelt "thank you."

Here was 2017, in as quick a glance as we could effectively reduce it to.
