I have been looking forward to Lauren and Rian’s wedding for well over a year now, since the early early planning stages. From the very first phone call talking to Lauren I knew that it was a perfect fit, and working with these two has been an absolute dream every step of the way. They are wonderful people – so fun and sweet and easy going. I love how Lauren wrinkles her nose and how they make each other laugh. And I love how they completely adore each other. A few favorites..

Happy Friday! Just a quick peek from Lauren & Rian’s incredible wedding at the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield. ♥

More soon, I promise :)

While Jacy and Todd are luxuriating on a honeymoon to the white sandy beaches of Bora Bora (courtesy of Ellen!), I thought I’d post a few more images from their fabulous Colorado wedding. It was ah-mazing! (I know I say that about pretty much every wedding, but that’s only because it’s true :)

When I first spoke with Jacy she mentioned how important it was that their wedding be truly representative of them – she described it as wanting a simple country wedding – rustic and down-home, fun and relaxed, and authentic. And it was – everything from the quintessential Colorado backdrop at the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to the cowboy boots & cowboy hats, to the burlap incorporated in the beautiful floral bridal bouquets. The centerpieces were comprised various pieces of bee-keeping memorabilia (Jacy’s family represents four generations of bee-keeping tradition in Colorado (check out Beeyond the Hive), and Jacy & Todd even did a unity pouring of honey during the ceremony. It was perfect. Here are a few favorites..
