“I choose you..”
This sweet sentiment is at the heart of Courtney & Mike’s love story, which began at a freshman mixer with Courtney choosing a tie. A pink tie, to be precise. And to be more precise: Mike‘s pink tie. (and yes, the very same tie that he wore on their wedding day) ♥
Courtney and Mike are kind and warm and an absolute delight. Their joy and laughter is infectious, and they light up around each other. It was such a delight to be their photographer. All the intricate details of their Colorado destination wedding were beautifully coordinated with precision by Rackel with Rackel Gehlsen Weddings & Events. A few favorites..
I just love how Courtney’s face lights up when she’s talking about her husband-to-be.
