Golden Ledge Telluride Wedding | Telluride Wedding Photographer | Shannon Griffin

This is one of those weddings that you don’t want to share because you’re holding onto it so tightly. I know that fellow photographers will understand this feeling. When Sutton, owner of the incredible planning company By Sutton, called me and said, “I have this incredible couple and I know you’ll be the perfect fit for them!”, I knew it was going to be a good one. She went on to tell me that they were having their wedding on Golden Ledge, which is a mountain in Telluride, Colorado. That’s literally all that’s up there…a mountain. That means that Sutton and her team completely build Julie and Chase’s ceremony and reception site. When I showed up the day before the wedding, to photograph their family champagne toast, my jaw hit the ground. I’ve never seen a ceremony site as beautiful. You had to walk through these gorgeous trees to get to it and it felt like magic. You’ll see in the photos bellow that this was a dream wedding, but what you won’t see is the way these two families love. I’ve never seen bigger cheerleaders for their children than Julie and Chase’s parents. Not to mention, the support from their incredible siblings. I wanted to be adopted into that family so badly.

Celebrating Your Body

I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I shared this session. It is featured on Bajan Wed, so I felt it fitting to talk about it again. Everything that this client wrote about her session is why boudoir is so incredibly important.

This is a woman that I have photographed a couple of times. I have photographed her wedding and a few other sessions. When she wrote to me about it finally being the time to do a boudoir session (we had been playing with the idea for years), I had to know why NOW? What was it that finally gave her that push to get outside of herself and be vulnerable. What I wasn’t expecting was how much her answer would resonate with me. I truly believe she speaks for so many women (click to read her resonating words).

I’ve been obsessed (yep, truly obsessed) with Mother Muse’s photographs and mission for quite some time. The articles that they post are so full of reality, truth, and rawness. It’s been a dream to have my work featured with them ever since I read their first post. When they reached out to me about using my photographs from Krysten and Andrew’s maternity session, to go along with their story, I jumped at the chance. I love supporting other women, especially mothers. This article is perfection and all about the importance of helping your partner after having a baby. I mean, who can’t get behind that?! Please give it a read and then go visit their website to read more incredible posts. Let’s continue to uplift moms through their struggles and triumphs.
