Jip & Megan are the type of people who light up a room. They have this intrinsic joy that radiates from them. It is physically hard not to smile when you are around them :) They see the world for all the possibility and hope that is posses and want to leave it a better place. They see the good in others and they choose to love even when it is hard.
These two got in touch with us about a year ago when they were just in the beginning stages of planning their destination event in Durango, Colorado. They met in Durango as camp counselors and have spent most of their summers there through college, so Durango is a very special place for them. I was so excited when they told me the story of how they met and where their wedding would be because ironically enough, I too was a counselor at the same camp in Durango when I was in college! I love Durango! It is a magical little place in the southwest settled in the mountains. It is beautiful. Megan & Jip had an outdoor wedding with a view that could take your breath away. There is something about the mountains that always puts me in my place and reminds me of how small I am in this giant big creation.
Megan wore her poppy's old cowboy boots for the wedding, they carried such special meaning to her since he wasn't able to be with them at the wedding. These two had a ceremony that was real, deep and so personal. When these two say something you know they mean it. We were so excited & honored to be a part of their big day. Cheers to you Megan & Jip!

Amazing! Great work as always. Isn't that venue incredible?! I photographed a wedding out there last year, sooo beautiful. Did you run into Blue Lake Ranch's pet cat? That cat jumped into every formal photo it could when I was shooting :)
