Let’s connect on Instagram

The snow is FINALLY melting... oh how sweet it is! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The earth's water connectivity is amazing to me... snow, runoff, river, ocean, evaporation, clouds, precipitation, and then it starts again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The earth is all connected, the mountains to the beach, the sky to the dirt. Connection, it's what I crave to witness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love to capture the connection between two people! It's the thing that keeps me photographing couples for this many years! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What connection amazes you?
Do you love Music? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can totally have music at your intimate ceremony! It's a great way to set the mood and makes it really feel like an event, even if there's only two people there. Your elopement or an intimate wedding in the mountains doesn't have to have a big rock band, where LNT would be impossible. An acoustic instrument really goes a long way and can easily practice LNT! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you're hanging out with me it's really important that we all practice LNT, leave no trace! we want to make sure that we come back next time it's just like we left it or even better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who else wants a little bit of jams in the mountains? . . . .

Don't leave out the groom! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This isn't just about the bouquet for the bride or the white dress... it's also about the groom and his attire and his flowers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The boutonniere historically used to be a symbol of good luck and warded off smells but we're talking about the early 19th century where steam showers weren’t a thing! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nowadays boutonnières still symbolize good luck and are a mark of a grand occasion, like your wedding day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, does anyone know how they used to attach a boutonnière?
The golden hour! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's the hour dreams are made of! It's the hour the light turns gold! It's the hour most photographers want to pass out if they can't utilize it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The golden hour starts about 45 minutes before sunset unless you're in a crazy valley in the mountains and then it could be a half before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I always make sure to build in at least 10 to 15 minutes during this time because I love it so much it's like you're being kissed not only by your new husband but also by the sun! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you want to be kissed by the Sun?

I now pronounce you husband and wife! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's talk about vows! These promises are super important and can become a huge part of your marriage together. You have to put a little effort into them. Most of my couples have been thinking about their vows for months because they know how important they are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want to urge you to write them down two to three weeks before the wedding date. You could even write them down at the same time while you're on a date! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are too many people that are trying to write down their vows the morning of while they're getting their hair and makeup done or hanging out with their people. And it just becomes a stressful task. I want to make sure that you're not stressed on your wedding morning! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So do you promise to have a date night where you write down your vows before the wedding? . . . . @Ambarms88 & @kleckler88 @frewsbridal @josabank @theaurasalon @amorefioriflowers @wedgewoodweddings
Ahhhh, weekends! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We love weekends when we can get our cars off the concrete and on the dirt... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s a sign it’s gonna be a great day because it’s the start of an adventure filled day in the wilderness! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What adventures are you up to this weekend?
Who says you have to go to the ocean? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There’s tons of lakes in Colorado where you can canoe after you say your vows on the shore. Canoeing is a great activity to do on your wedding day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s very romantic, y’all can do it together and have a little more time on your wedding day! It's a time to chat together and have a little alone time out on the lake before dinner or dancing starts. Or if it's an elopement before the campfire snuggle portion of the day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who here loves water so much they want it included in their wedding day activities? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photography: @ashleighmillerweddings | Planner: The Perfect Touch | Stylist: @thestyledshoot | Venue: @pelicanlakesgolf | Cakes: @battersupcakes | Rentals: Flexx Productions | Hair Styling: Michael Martinez | Makeup Artist: Jill Dennis | Wedding Dress: @emmaandgracebridal | Models: Galen Trine & @aliciaharper28
Happy Earth Day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This adorable little fox showed up to my session on Friday, and he is so cute! Unfortunately, this little guy isn't timid of humans anymore and it's so sad! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wild animals should be able to STAY WILD! Please, I beg you, please, don't feed wild animals! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you feed wild animals they get used to people and then they rely on you. Are you going to feed them every day, every meal, forever and ever? No, you're not! You don't live out here, they do. Let them live in the wild and rely on themselves and the natural order of things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ HAPPY EARTH DAY! Let's celebrate the earth and its WILD animals! How are you celebrating the planet you live on today?
Hello, hello! Ashleigh here! I'm the photographer behind all these photographs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's a few things: Hops are so delicious! Jax is my golden retriever! I grew up in the south! Campfires with smores are my favorite part of camping! I've been shooting since high school. I'm a snowboarder! My fule is coffee! I love fishing! Road biking keeps me in shape. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'd love to learn more about y'all? What's something we have in common? 📷: @caitlincoar
Did you see that Vineyard and hops field? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know you can get married among grapes & hops in Colorado? Yep, that's right, wine and beer lovers! You can say your vows with your drink of choice! Not only is there mountains to explore, Coloradans are making yummy beverages in our favorite state! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you a wine or beer couple?
