Moriah & Matthew • Air Force Academy, Cadet Chapel, Colorado Springs, CO

If you’re following me on facebook, you’ve seen some photos of Moriah’s & Matthew’s gorgeous Air Force Chapel wedding already, and I’m so excited to finally share the full set here! Moriah & I have been friends for quite some years now. When my husband decided we’d move to Colorado about 5 years ago, I knew I’d miss my tightly knit photographer community. It’s not too easy to find friends in the industry especially if you are somewhat direct competitors, but I just had to get in touch with her as I loved her work and I was SO excited to hear back from her after my initial email! It’s fun to hang out with other creative minds and talk business 🙂 Well, a few years passed since and I was SO excited to hear when Moriah & Matthew got engaged! There was that hidden hope they’d pick me to shoot their wedding, but you can’t force your style onto anybody … and my goodness was I excited when they asked me to photograph their wedding! 🙂 They are a truly wonderful couple, and I’m just so very happy for them that they found each other!

Having said this, I’ll tell you, it’s a little intimidating to shoot an other photographers wedding (or do any shoots with them really, haha), but oh so much fun! Especially since you know that they’ll be easy to pose (hehe) and my goodness …. the venue they picked!! DREAMY!!!! What should I say? The day was filled with SO many (beautiful!) smiles, and my goodness, Moriah did you look gorgeous – you looked pretty handsome too, Matthew!!! 🙂

Enough said! On to the photos!! 🙂I absolutely love Moriah’s engagement ring!Love Moriah’s brother in this shot 🙂 I think it’s safe to say, it was a happy day 🙂I mean …. how beautiful …. … and GLAMOROUS is she?!?!Moriah & Matt decided to do a first look so we could walk around the grounds in peace 🙂 I can’t even …
