alisha & bryce

alisha & bryce tied the knot on may 31, 2008 in beaver creek, colorado. we felt the joy of God with them during their memorable occasion that will still be remembered 50 years to come.

'the day flew by,' they both said at the end of the night. our thoughts were the same.

in our eyes, the wedding day was flawless. we appreciate being treated like close family. thank you, thank you.

we caught sunset at the perfect time: 8:24 p.m. and not a minute to spare.

nothing is quite like the wrap-around lighting effect of a warm backlit sunset.
