Editorial artistry. Real emotion. Unapologetically you.
The people. The energy. The beautiful chaos. The moments you planned for and the ones you never saw coming.
I'm Jewels, a Colorado luxury wedding photographer creating bold, artful images for couples who want to look incredible, feel everything, and have the best damn time doing it.
From black-tie celebrations in Denver to wedding weekends in Aspen, Vail, Telluride, and destinations around the world, I believe your photographs should be every bit as extraordinary as the experience itself.
Beautiful isn't enough.
I want you to feel something.

A little rock & roll. A lot of heart.
Photographer. Artist. Creative thinker. Professional people-wrangler. And the girl who will absolutely tell you when the light is too good to pass up.
Before I was photographing luxury weddings in Colorado and beyond, there was rock & roll.
I spent years working in the music industry, managing productions, navigating backstage chaos, and making sure everything came together without missing a beat.
Turns out, weddings aren't all that different.
There's a lot happening behind the scenes, a whole lot of personalities, some pretty big emotions, and one hell of a show.
And I love every minute of it.
Twenty years behind the camera have taught me that creating incredible photographs isn't just about finding beautiful light or knowing your equipment.
It's about knowing people.
Reading a room. Anticipating moments. Making someone feel comfortable enough to forget there's a camera pointed at them.
Knowing when to take charge, when to make you laugh, and when to quietly get the hell out of the way.
It's how I blend editorial wedding photography with documentary storytelling — creating images that are beautifully composed without losing the emotion that makes them yours.
Because the best photographs don't just show you what happened.
They remind you what it felt like to be there.

The Art of Knowing When
Some moments are created. Others are simply recognized.
I love a dramatic portrait.
Give me incredible architecture, beautiful fashion, killer light, and a couple willing to have a little fun, and we're going to create something spectacular.
But you know what I love just as much?
The way your dad looks at you when he thinks nobody's watching.
Your best friends losing their minds on the dance floor.
That split second when you catch your person's eye across the room and everything else disappears.
My approach to wedding photography blends the sophistication of editorial imagery with the honesty of documentary storytelling.
Artfully directed when it matters. Completely unscripted when it doesn't.
The result? A wedding gallery filled with photographs that look like art, feel like you, and tell the whole story.
Not just the pretty parts.
All of it.
Black clothes. Big adventures. Good people.
A few things you should probably know about me...
I wear a lot of black. I ride an Indian motorcycle. I'm a sucker for live music, great food, and a long dinner anywhere in Italy.
Give me a pair of killer heels, a passport, a little adventure, and I'm a happy girl.
I'm a mom, an English Bulldog enthusiast (Rambo is basically a celebrity in my house), a gardener, a traveler, and someone who believes life is way too short to play it safe.
I love people with big personalities, good stories, and absolutely no interest in being ordinary.
And if you're wondering whether we'll get along?
If you love hard, laugh loud, and appreciate a little inappropriate humor, we're probably going to be just fine.

Based in Colorado, I photograph luxury weddings in Denver, Aspen, Vail, Steamboat Springs, and Telluride, with a special love for destination celebrations in Santa Barbara, Northern California, Italy, France, and wherever your story takes us.
From intimate mountain weddings to spectacular multi-day celebrations, I'm here for all of it.
You bring the vision. I'll bring the experience, the creative eye, and a whole lot of heart.
COLORADO ROOTS. CALIFORNIA SOUL. PASSPORT ALWAYS READY.
Your wedding isn't supposed to look like everyone else's.
And your photographs shouldn't either.
Whether you're planning an elegant celebration in Denver, an unforgettable wedding weekend in Aspen or Telluride, or a destination wedding somewhere halfway around the world, I'm here for all of it.
The big moments. The little ones. The carefully curated details. The beautiful, unexpected chaos.
You bring your favorite people, your big ideas, and a story that's entirely your own.
I'll bring the experience, the creative eye, a whole lot of heart, and probably a few ideas you never saw coming.
Let's create something that looks like art, feels like you, and only gets better with time.
