Torie & Matt tied the knot on a gorgeous September day during an emotional and heartfelt wedding ceremony at Keystone Ranch. It was a day surrounded by family and friends, full of love  and joy and infectious laughter. Simply perfect. Everything about this day was dreamy – from the incredible couple (so down-to-earth and fun to work with) to the spectacular Colorado mountain backdrop (ah-mazing views) to the vintage elements incorporated in to the wedding decor (burlap accents and cobalt blue, vintage suitcases and birdcages – ♥). It was an incredible event, coordinated to perfection by Josh at Bella Design and Planning, and such an honor to be a part of. A few faves..
