Mallory and Sean came to me through a client referral but from our first phone call and Zoom chats, I instantly felt like I’d known them for years. They live in St. Louis, MI, but are holding their wedding in Beaver Creek, Colorado, in September 2024. Mallory’s grandmother has a home there, and it’s a special place for her family.

Sean and Mallory were warriors and braved an early morning wakeup on Labor Day weekend to meet me at 6:15am at Officer’s Gulch, between Frisco and Breckenridge. Nothing beats magic hour photos (the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset), especially in the mountains!

Little did I know that the morning before Mallory and Sean’s engagement shoot, my boyfriend, now fiancé, would propose the day prior. With that, when I introduced Mallory and Sean to my fiancé, they were over the moon to hear about how he proposed and our love story. That is the type of people Mallory and Sean are—they only recently met me and hardly knew Mitch, yet they couldn’t wait to hear about our love and love story. They are such loving, generous, sweet people! I can’t wait to photograph their wedding next year and celebrate their love!
