NICOLE + JONATHAN | YMCA OF THE ROCKIES WEDDING

Who knows how you're going to meet the love of your life? N+J has a story I've heard a few times. A young person leaves a small town for school, career, or adventure in Colorado. During a visit back to the hometown, a mutual friend or relative makes an introduction to the 'right' person, and two lives change forever. Maybe it's a form of duality: you want adventure in life, but for some things (like picking a spouse), you prefer something familiar (a common upbringing and values). Nicole was in a large University graduate program when a visit home led to a casual meeting with the new young minister at the family church. "Nicole, may I introduce Minister Johnathan?" I quizzed both Nicole's mom and dad separately, asking if they had any hidden agendas. Both brushed it off, but Mom did give me a finger-over-the-lips "shhh" gesture.

The bride and her family got ready at Ponder Chapel. After taking some portraits there, we joined the guests at Overlook Chapel, where a September ceremony was officiated by one of Jonathan's favorite seminary instructors. The celebration continued with a fun reception for 40 in the Pine Room.

JENNA + AARON

A destination wedding in May, combining an outdoor ceremony at the Sara Smith Amphitheater with a reception in the Walnut Room. The homemade pies were a bit of a hit, and the bride + groom loved sneaking out at sunset for some photos on the ridge with Rocky Mountain National Park in the background.
