Katie Ricard Photography

Walking into Carrie and Drew’s home last night, I was immediately inspired - maximalism in the absolute bessssst way, I could have spent hours just photographing the details of their decor 🤩 They welcomed me in with open arms and I loved getting to know them a little better, meet (3/4 of) their cats and frolic in the yard before we headed to Governor Dodge State Park for some epic waterfall and nature vibes. I am beyond excited for all the goodness to come on their wedding day in September! ✨

I rounded out a weekend of stunnnnning photos with a special wedding portrait session with my sister, Jessie and her new husband Zach! A few months ago they eloped at this ✨wild✨ church waaaaay up at the top of a hill, so I made the hike back up with them and obviously was freaking out the whole time. What a cool and unique place out in the mountains, it literally doesn’t seem real. The sun came out for us which made the colors POP 🤩 and instagram absolutely doesn’t do it justice, but here is a little glimpse from our time. (Scroll to the end for a hint at part 2!)
