Dancing with the Mountain Stars 2012 l Keystone, Colorado

The 2012 Dancing with the Mountain Stars event was a huge success, as always! This Summit County, Colorado fundraiser for the Summit Medical Center Health Foundation was held as usual at the Keystone Conference Center. 

See the complete album and purchase prints here. 

This year's event benefitted Flight for Life, a heroic service that has affected most people involved in the outdoors and adventure sports. 

Of course, I had to photograph the Flight for Life guys as soon as I saw those moustaches.

Michelle & Matt's Wedding l Alpenglow Stube l Keystone, Colorado Photographer

Matt and Michelle got hitched at the top of Keystone Mountain, Colorado. All the guest rode up in the River Run gondola to reach the ceremony. It was a lovely overlook deck with a magnificent view of the Rocky Mountains!

These two lovebirds just moved to Colorado Spring and had me shoot their engagement photos in Golden, Colorado. There are also some Baby Belly shots in there, if you didn't notice the little bump! VIEW THEM HERE.

You can tell by the photos how fun this crew was and how much love was all around, way back there in the mountains.
