So, my beautiful lifelong friend calls me one day...
"Heidi, I am getting married and I would love for you to be my matron of honor."
I was ecstatic for her. She had found her true love and perfect partner in life, Mario.
These two are so meant for one another. They laugh constantly and I LOVE that so much. I was able to capture some photos of their wedding and while I was not taking photos, my very talented hubby, Daniel, took over for me. These are just a few of my favorites from their special San Diego beach wedding.
Kristy and I have known each other since birth and seriously spent the first half of our lives inseparable, then my family moved to Durango, CO. We have stayed close for the last 31.5 years and she means the world to me. I am so blessed that she is in my life and I adore her husband and I am so happy they have found each other.
What I didn't realize while enjoying their special day was that it was not just their beginning of a new life together, but a necessary moment in time for my husband and I to realize we were due for a new beginning as well. Sun + beach can do strange things for your take on life and help isolate what is most important to the family's happiness as each day passes by faster and faster.
Long story short, we decided it was time to say goodbye to our beautiful little home town and forge a path together in to the city with aspirations of landing at our own special place along the beach in the future. Our hearts and creative minds have centered on Denver where we already enjoy many wonderful friends and are addicted to the endless pallets the city holds for capturing what we see as artists. This move just feels right. We will treat Denver as our hub for traveling to our clients in CO, CA, NY, special destinations, and of course Durango (where we will come back often to visit family, friends & of course, schedule photo sessions). I, along with my husband, expect to continue offering the best service I can to all past and future clients while expanding as artists and offering a very special look into the lives of those we are lucky enough to work with and call our friends.
We want to show our daughters that you can follow your dreams and be happy in everything that you do ~ no matter what it is. We want to be the happiest parents so that they can be the happiest of children.
So, we are embarking on a beautiful adventure to make a new life in a new city that we love and go explore the world while taking photographs for the most amazing clientele.
If you would like us to photograph you, please don't hesitate to contact us as we will travel to any location and welcome the new adventures!
Estimated time of departure from Durango to Denver is late summer 2010...stay tuned...
