Nestled into the foothills of Lyons, Colorado is the most gorgeous backdrop from Ashley and Shea's wedding day. Flower fields, Airstreams, large trees covering the grounds, a farm full of Alpacas, chickens, a goat (that ate some of the bouquet!), and a llama. It's a stunning location to set the tone for an outdoor wedding.
Ashley and Shea's wedding was focused on family, and having everyone feel like one big family. From giving your neighbor a hello at the ceremony, to family style dinner, special family jewelry for Ashley's details, it was a very tender, inclusive day. These are the moments I want to capture more of for my weddings.
I met Ashley, a fellow Colorado photographer years ago at a networking event. She had been following me on Instagram and I recognized her name on the sign-in sheet! She told me the day we met that I would capture her wedding whenever that may be! We came full circle, and it was an honor to be a part of Ashley and Shea's day at The Farmette!
