Collins + Patrick – Vail Wedding
A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of heading to Vail to photograph Collins and Patrick’s wedding with Nate from J. Nelson Photography. It was a beautiful summer day to celebrate their wedding at the Vail Chapel with an afternoon reception at the Sonnenalp Resort. Before the ceremony, I hung out with the guys, while Nate photographed the ladies getting ready. These guys were some of the most easy-going, laid back gentlemen I have photographed yet. Patrick has an infectious laugh and with Collins constant smiling, I could tell these two were a perfect pair! Here are some of my favorite images from the day.

From Iceland to Antarctica, and Colorado to Bend, Oregon, Gwen’s passion for love and adventure has led her to specialize in wedding photography. Known for her ability to capture moments of raw emotion, she’s been humorously described by a client as an “emotion vulture,” always ready to swoop in and capture the perfect moment. Gwen’s love for travel and new experiences began when she studied abroad in rural Spain at the age of 17 and has since taken her to 15 different countries. Interestingly, it was in the least populated continent, Antarctica, where she found her true love. Gwen seeks to work with clients who share her love for the universe, are madly in love with their partners, and are full of joie de vivre.
