Loveliness at Lone Summit

We were at Lone Summit Ranch this weekend to celebrate with the couple in love, Rachel and Dave.  Everything, top to bottom, made the day perfect!  The food was phenomenal and Amber, who keeps the Ranch running, was completely on the ball as usual.  I can't say that I've ever had such succulent meat - pork and prime rib - before. Oh, and the rolls?!  We could smell them baking from the time we arrived at 11 to set up for pictures. YUM!


Rachel and Dave were fabulous.  A completely straight shooting couple who were just genuine and not afraid to tell you like it is.  Rachel had the most gorgeous hairdo (thanks Clint!) and was all around stunning!  I'm positive Dave would agree.

They asked so little from us specifically as photographers. We had our checklist in hand and followed it, but there was little need for actual direction with these two.  They were at such ease with each other, just completely comfortable and a natural fit.  We joked that they were already acting married, like an old married couple honestly.  They are so in love!  When I asked them, as I often do with couples, to talk amongst themselves when shooting their first private intimate pictures, we overheard one asking the other if they had bought dog food.  It was priceless!  The shots just created themselves.

As for the ceremony, we couldn't have asked for a more picturesque day. The enormous fluffy clouds really looked like they popped straight out of a painting.  The gathering was intimate, by no means a crowd, which made the entire event a little extra cozy.  Sometimes I like the smaller groups the best - just invite the immediate family and friends and you have all your closest people present to share the special day.  And believe me, the day was special in every detail!

I cherish the weddings that keep me grinning for days after!

I wanted to share some of my favorite shots that I printed to put in the album Rachel and Dave took with them.
