Mike + Renee Baylie | Shupe Homestead, Longmont Colorado Rustic Wedding

They say rain on your wedding day is good luck. Well, that may be so, but I believe better luck was what happened at Renee and Mike’s rustic mountain wedding! Although fire season is upon us in Colorado this time of year, 2014 has decided to bless us with immense thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and copious amounts of rain. Great for fires, terrifying for weddings. Despite the downpour of rain only minutes prior to the newlywed’s wedding ceremony starting, the entirety of their ceremony and photo shoot we were gifted with amazingly beautiful storm clouds without the rain. Literally, the moment we finished Mike and Renee’s portraits, the rain started and the lighting and thunder followed quickly behind as we raced to the reception hall at the Shupe Homestead.

Renee and Mike, you are a beautiful couple with super awesome friends! We are so excited for your lovely marriage and thank you for having us be apart of such a beautiful day!

Cheers,
Taylor & Mike

“We knew our photos were going to be something we would treasure forever, but what we didn’t expect to walk away with was an effortless bond turned friendship.

Taylor and Mike are not just invested in capturing the magic of the wedding day, but their heart is in it for the marriage and future that follows.”

-Brett & Mendy

I did not feel rushed or anxious, just simply in the moment—which was most important as this would be a once in a lifetime experience—and believe me, Taylor and Mike made it memorable. Separately they are an absolute delight, and together they make the ultimate team and genuine couple. You can see the true dedication they put into making that day, your day…special! It was an absolute joy to work with this inspirational couple."

"With grace and charm, Taylor and Mike set the tone for our beautiful wedding day!

-Jake & Christina

They did everything we asked and more. Our friends and family keep remarking how great our photographers were. They took so many photos and delivered them in such a fast turnaround."

"Taylor and Mike are professional, friendly, detailed, flexible, committed—exactly the kind of presence you want from photographers on your wedding day! 

-Chris & Kim

On the day, they were so organized and kept things moving at a perfect pace. We never felt rushed yet were able to adhere to our timeline perfectly. They made everyone, including my generally camera-shy husband, feel at ease making for photos with real smiles."

"From start to finish, Taylor and Mike take great care to make sure you are comfortable and have clear and prompt communication. 

-Jake & Haydn

We are so impressed with not only them as people and their amazing work, but also their communication skills throughout the entire planning process."

"Taylor and Mike have a great ability to take photographs in places no ordinary person would ever think of, and, while still focusing on you, they are also able to capture the beautiful scenery.

-Adam & Sydney

Though we had never met, it was as though we were life-long friends and it was immediately apparent we wanted to work with them. They are so pleasant, personable, and go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. We were so worried the photo process would be weird and awkward, but they made it one of the most fun aspects of the whole day. To top it all off, the photos are simply gorgeous!"

“We gave them a call and they were the first, and only, photographers we spoke with.
