Meet Kimberly + Matthew, they are high school sweethearts and have been together since the 10th grade! WUT!?! I can imagine over the years they have been thru some stuff together …..and in 2020 they got to add a pandemic and wedding postponement to the list of the “shit they’ve been thru”. They were supposed to be married last year but with a few change of plans and a switch of a wedding venue, they made it happen! She was adamant about keeping me as her photographer (ahhh the pressure! haha) so she chose a date that I was available and they got married on a Friday and had the most amazing wedding surrounded by all the people that meant so very much to them….and the funnest wedding party ever!
So sit back and enjoy your scrolling…but scroll slow because there’s SOOOO many images below to look thru! This is just the high-light reel, they have no idea how many final images they’re going to end up with!

Matt’s answer- “We gotr’ done! Haha!
Kim’s answer- During my spring break from teaching, we went to visit one of our friends, Kyle, who lives in Denver, Colorado. (Matt and I had been dating for 11 years at this point, so of course I was hoping a proposal was coming soon!) It was our first full day in Denver and we were planning to go on a hike. We got in the car and started our drive to Saint Mary’s Glacier. On the way, it started to snow like crazy! I was getting nervous and said, “Let’s just turn around and go tomorrow. Matt and Kyle immediately looked at each other and said, “No! We’ll be fine! So, we kept going and when we got to our spot we started our hike through the cold and snow. We finally go up to the top and found a good spot to take pictures. We said we would come back once we hiked a little more. We finished by hiking a huge mountain, where at times, we were sliding and falling (while the ring was in his coat pocket!). We came back done to our ‘photo spot’ and we began to take a few pictures together. Matt and Kyle had a secret phrase that they used so Kyle knew when to switch the phone to video to record the proposal. I turned to fix my hair at one point and when I turned back towards Matt he was getting down on one knee, taking the ring box out of his pocket, and asking me to marry him. Of course I said yes!
Kim- I always have my nails painted. I could eat ice cream every day! I have watched every episode of Law and Order: SVU. (Matt said, “More like every episode of every TV show ever made. Haha!”)
Matt- He loves to hunt, fish, and golf. He’s an April Fool’s baby. He could eat chicken wings, pizza, and ranch every day.
Kim- I could not live without coffee, TV, and ice cream.
Matt- He could not live without coffee, sports, and beer.
