“She sees in black and white, thinks in greys, but loves in color” -Jm Storm Whether you have a sweetheart, Galentine, dogentine or are just hanging solo this V-Day I want to wish everyone a HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! <3 I have always wanted to do a cupid-esque photoshoot. Heart shaped balloons, red roses and the girly pink outfits — “these are a few of my favorite things”. So when my amazingly talented friend Jess suggested we hit the town and take some pictures, I was DOWN! We picked the day we were going to shoot about a week in advance, and surprise surprise, Denver decided to drop a s ..read more

“She knew she loved him when ‘home’ went from being a place to being a person.” – E. Leventhal We are officially nine months away from our big Colorado mountain wedding! This special time is flying by way too fast. I promised to take you guys along this bridal journey with me — last week I shared my Bridesmaids Proposal High Tea event — and this week I am so excited to bring you…. OUR FALL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS! Yes yes, I am aware that it is January and these photos were taken last fall. However, I wanted to wait until we sent out our ‘Save the Dates’ before putting up this post. And with t ..read more

“I’ll only be a happy bride if I have my best friends standing by my side!” Let’s be real. Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic has been stressful. There is so much unknown with the world we are living in. Besides the man I am marrying next fall (fingers crossed) there has been one part of my wedding that I have known since day 1 : MY BRIDESMAIDS! At the end of October I gathered my seven best friends for a high tea gathering at The Brown Palace (here in Denver) where I asked them to stand by my side when I marry the love of my life!

IT’S A…..   PUPPY!!!!   That’s right — Joe and I took a big step in our relationship and got a puppy together! (we have had her for about a month and I am a huge slacker for not getting this up sooner, sorry y’all!)   Everybody meet — “Lady Sansa” of “House Teska” (yes we are Game of Thrones nerds & yes I made her an Instagram — if you click on the link it will take you to her adorable little profile!)…   After our engagement in March, my first big “quarantine project” was moving into Joe’s house. After settling in I did not waste any time peer pressuring him into getti ..read more

First of all, hello everyone — we are so glad you are here! We are living through an absolutely crazy time right now. We hope you and your loved ones are all staying safe and healthy. Our wish is that sharing our exciting news will shed some light and happiness into your day!   Last Friday, March 20th, 2020…   My amazing boyfriend Joe Teska asked me to marry him! Absolutely nothing went according to his original plan. But he adapted, and caught me completely off guard. I feel like the luckiest girl in the whole world!   If you are new here, or have never heard our back story… &n ..read more

“Valentine’s Day is precisely what the spirit needs. Its hot chocolate for the soul. Its a bright splash of color on a stark white canvas. The day reminds us to reaffirm our love, or perhaps to give voice to that which has remained unsaid.” -Dorothy Deneen Volo    I cannot believe that it is already February! Where does the time go you guys?? If you follow me on social media you know that I did Whole30 in January (aka no gluten, dairy, alcohol, unnatural sugars, legumes or soy for 30 days). It was a great way to reset my body after the holidays, and start 2020 on a healthy note ..read more

“You are nothing short of my everything.” -Anonymous    I am so excited that I finally get to share images from our Colorado Winter Wonderland Shoot with Ellen Layne! Ellen is a California-based wedding and elopement photographer who I met & shot with (solo) this spring.  I was so excited when I learned that she was coming back through Colorado last month! Even though I was totally in love with the photos she took of me in the spring, her bread and butter is couples photography. I was over the moon when she asked if my boyfriend, Joe would want to join in on this shoot ..read more

Accio Babies!    The first weekend of 2020 was a magical one for me — literally….I hosted a Harry Potter themed gender reveal party for my boyfriend’s sister, Courtney, and her husband Andy. The twist — DOUBLE MUGGLES! Yup, they are having TWINS!   When they asked me do their gender reveal I immediately knew what I would do. They are huge Harry Potter fans (one of the million reasons we get along so well). I have always pinned HP themed gender reveal pins to my secret “future babies” Pinterest board. Now was my chance to put them to use!   I decided to do two separate revea ..read more

I had my thoughts about what Telluride would be like. All of them of course orchestrated by Tim McGraw’s infamous song “Telluride” (don’t pretend like you guys didn’t internally belt out the chorus when you clicked on this post). I can safely say that Telluride surpassed every expectation I could have pictured for it.   As Joe & I looked ahead at the dauntingly full calendar that was December of 2019, we decided that we wanted to do a little getaway for just the two of us. As excited as we were for all of the work, family and social functions that surround the holidays, we wanted some ..read more

Omg y’all I CANNOT believe that 2019 is officially over and we are in the year 2020! Where does the time go??   2019 was another year of “I do my hair toss, check my nails”, because of my absolutely amazing nail artist, NailsByKr!     I constantly joke with her that she is my nail artist/therapist, because I go see her for 2+ hours every month. Not only do I leave with a fresh amazing set of claws, but a sense of renewed happiness – she always talks me through any issues I have going on in my life.   As we always have, we partnered together this spring for some Denver-area ..read more
