Vanessa and Michael were married on a beautiful summer day at the Denver Botanic Gardens. 

Music was a big part of the wedding day. Guests enjoyed a special, private Flamenco concert at the Woodland Mosaic before the ceremony.

Vanessa and Michael’s children participated in toasts and shared how special it was to be able to attend their parents’ wedding–something most kids are not able to do!

Congratulations Vanessa and Michael!

I met Brittney and Bryan at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge for their engagement session. We had a nice breezy evening with the most amazing sunset and fields of wildflowers!

Brittney, thank you for being up for walking through this tall grass! We may have passed a thousand grasshoppers, but it was worth it.

Brittney shares, “Bryan and I knew of each other in high school. We did many similar activities, such as church and music, but our friend groups didn’t intersect. Fast forward 17 years, Bryan reached out via social media while I was in the midst of nursing school for a career change. I was not interested in dating while being so busy, but Bryan was the right amount of persistence, patience, and charm. We took dating slow ensuring that we would work well together and work well as a family (Bryan has 6 biological kids and 1 adopted special needs son).

We both feel incredibly lucky to have found someone who complements us so well. We look at our wedding as both an opportunity to acknowledge what we’ve each been able to overcome/endure in the past and celebrate the beginning of a wonderful life with a family full of love, adventure, and joy.”

I can’t get over this gorgeous golden sunlight. Brittney and Bryan–you guys look amazing!

The couple will be married this fall in Colorado. Happy engagement Brittney and Bryan!

Catherine and Steve were married on a beautiful summer day in September. They live very close to City Park, so the day began in their home and then we went for a first look in the park.

After taking photos around city park we headed to Space Gallery for the ceremony.

Catherine shares, “My favorite part of our wedding day was the ceremony. I loved seeing Steve as I walked down the aisle. My younger brother Hugh officiated our ceremony and it was the perfect balance of being touching and hilarious. We also asked our moms to choose a reading and it was great to see them coordinate during the month leading up to our big day. My absolute favorite moment was turning and seeing all of our wonderful family and friends that had come to celebrate with us.

Steve shares, “My favorite moment was the end of our first dance. That was the part I was most nervous about. We practiced for hours and hours and it turned out great! Having Claire (Catherine’s sister) sing, Ingrid Michaelson’s made it really extraordinary.”

Bo, the couple’s sweet pup, enjoyed cocktail hour the most, specifically when he got to eat part of a lamb meatball that was dropped to the floor. He was a good sport for wearing his custom dog tuxedo.

Congratulations Catherine and Steve!

Ellen and Zach were married on a beautiful August day in Denver at the historic Grant-Humphreys Mansion. The mansion was built in 1902 in the Beaux-Arts style.

The ceremony took place on the front steps of the mansion.

Both Zach and Ellen come from musical families. During the ceremony, his mom and her dad performed a very special rendition of In My Life by the Beatles.

Ellen shares, “We chose Grant Humphreys Mansion because we love historic homes and think the mansion is beautiful. Another reason the Grant Humphreys is special to us is that it is in the neighborhood we lived in together for years and also the neighborhood where Zach and his family grew up. The mansion was perfect for our wedding. We really enjoyed having different spaces for different parts of the evening such as the terrace for cocktail hour, dining in the dining room, and dancing in the ballroom downstairs.

Our friends at Little Lula Rose blew us away with the flowers for the wedding. We were hoping for unique, lovely flowers and they certainly delivered.

The band, Diamond Empire, were so talented and so much fun! We absolutely loved the music !

We had such a fun day and evening, everything came together so well. What really made our day so wonderful was having all of our loved ones together to celebrate with us.”

Congratulations Ellen and Zach!

Sarah and Noah were married at the Della Terra Mountain Chateau in Estes Park. The day started off with rain, but quickly turned out to be beautiful!

Before the traditional chuppah ceremony, Sarah and Noah shared a private ceremony to read their own personal vows to each other.

Sarah shares, “We met at the senior prom in high school in Arizona and went to college across the country from each other, so Colorado was the first place we ever lived together. We got to finally start our life together, and even adopted our dog there. We love the mountains so it’s no surprise Noah proposed on an Alpine lake hike in Breckenridge. He held onto the ring from February until my birthday hike in October.

We chose Estes Park so our guests could explore the Rocky Mountain trails we love so much. The views did not disappoint on our wedding weekend. 

We had a traditional Jewish ceremony, so we exchanged our vows and wedding bands in private. Having this intimate time to ourselves was really special.”

It is a Jewish custom for the bride to circle around the groom seven times.

Congratulations Sarah and Noah!
