Oh my heart and soul… Daniel & Stina are some of the dearest friends to my husband and me, and they’re getting married in April!! We’ve had some of the most fun and real moments with these two. We’ve cried real tears and laughed deep belly laughs. Hearing their story and watching them love each other through highs and lows is a testament of the goodness of God. Daniel is a fire fighter and working to become a paramedic, and his empathy and dedication for human life is so deep. Daniel is hilarious and goofy, but he is a protector and leader so uniquely himself. His better half, Stina, is the most loyal person I’ve ever known. She embodies “giving the shirt off your back” for someone. She selflessly shapes the minds of littles all day long, and comes home and makes sure her home is warm and welcoming to anyone who walks through the door. The blend of this couple influences those around them, and I’m just so proud to call them my people.

We did a major suicide trip to Mosca, Colorado for their engagement photos. We stayed in the quaint little town of Trinidad, CO and had a wakeup call of 3AM to drive to the Great Sand Dunes National Park for a sunrise shoot, and IT WAS EPIC AND GORGEOUS. 40 degree weather and cold sand woke us up as we shot with the sun rising over the mountains. FAHSJKDFHAKS DREAMY, CREAMY, GOOOOOOD GOOD.

April can’t come any quicker. Their love is real. Enjoy these photos.
