arah and Nick found themselves in a Routt County fairytale following their Midnight Ranch wedding. When local photographer Cali Frankovic got the couple away from the wedding hubbub for a moment of solitude in an aspen grove, nerves faded and smiles shone bright for a magical photo.
“I just told them to have a moment,” Frankovic explains. “I try to get each couple away from everyone and give them their own space to be together. Every time she looked at him or he looked at her, they would both smile. The photo shows a genuine reaction.” Both veterinarians from Virginia, Sarah and Nick came to Steamboat Springs previously on vacation and fell in love with the Yampa Valley’s natural beauty. The couple held a small, intimate wedding, which made it easier to slip away to a private location for photos – Frankovic was grateful that the couple made pictures a priority on their wedding day. 4 | Steamboat Springs Wedding Guide 2019

“They trusted me 110%,” Frankovic says. “They were all about the photos, and made sure to make time for the them. They knew that was what they would have when all was said and done. You spend all this time, money, stress and loss of sleep in planning for your wedding, and then it all goes by so fast and it’s over. Photos are what you’re left with.” Frankovic, who has been photographing weddings for 11 years, thrives on the fast-paced, peopleoriented nature of her job. “It’s one of the most important days of someone’s life,” she says. “You have to have a great photographer there that you can trust, so you can be present and in the moment. If you’re not comfortable and relaxed with them, it shows in the photos.” To learn more about Cali Frankovic Photography, visit www.califrankovic.com. l
