Shelia Stone bio picture

Ciao friends and family!

This blog is now my personal space.  My life as it happens.  A way for friends and family to stay connected while we continue our military journey from place to place. 

In the past this blog has been mainly a space to write about clients and their families. I will no longer be updating this blog with my recent commissioned work. 

In the land of cyberworld, I have been hesitant to write about my personal life.  In an effort to keep connected to my friends and family, while still maintaining my privacy, I will now have all future post require a password.  If you have not been given the password yet, please text me, use the contact form here on the blog or email me.

Tanya + Rudy::Wedding:::Part one

It was a weekend of love, laughter,  family and friends.  The temp at times below freezing and grey coulds. And when it mattered most, beautiful blue sky and picturesque white fluffy clouds. 

You could just feel the love between Tanya and Rudy.  The laughter, the gentle touches, the sweet looks. 

I meet Tanya and Rudy back in Okinawa, Japan when I photographed their engagement session.  You can see that HERE.  So when they asked me to photograph their wedding I was thrilled!

And I just knew immediately who I wanted to come along to shoot it with me.  My good friend and super-ubberly-oh-so talented, Suwanee of Suwanee Photography.  A huge huge hug for coming along Suwanee!  It was a blast.  Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the day.  For my readers…I will be posting some behind the scene images in a later blog post.  You won’t want to miss it.  We had some really funny moments!

Also, a huge huge thank you to Neva for coming along as well. I asked her last minute to come along and I am forever grateful.  I wouldn’t of made it through the day without your help.   And of course for having my back and telling on Suwanee with all of her oh-so-not-nice shots!

So we all meet up at the fab city Denver, Colorado and the rest well, some will be told in images, some will be told in words and some will be left unshown or even deleted if I could be so lucky!

I want to begin by saying how privileged I feel to a) been able to witness this day and b) being chosen to document it.  Thank you Tanya and Rudy for this fabulous opportunity.  Much love.

On to the images…..

Their big day began at Cielo at Castle Pines and the day could not of been more perfect.
