This Couple’s Denver Destination Wedding Will Charm You With Its Fun Meets Formal Festivities!

2016 10 28 0034

If you asked Chris & Judy what they were most excited about for their Denver destination wedding, they’d simultaneously tell you, “The Party!”. Their nuptials were nothing short of a fabulous time for their closest family and friends who came out for their Colorado elopement.

I’d never been west of the Mississippi before Chris and Judy’s wedding. I can definitely say that we were SUPER excited to fly all the way to Denver, Colorado for their nuptials in late June! Chris and Judy have a love story that most people aren’t privileged to. They went to the same high school and acted in the same plays, but somehow they slipped through each other’s fingers until some time later. Reunited at a high school reunion, they texted each other for many months before they made the leap and started dating. He received rave reviews from her children which sealed their fate!

Their wedding was event filled with bands and storytelling to impress their guests. They sung each other sweet vows while playing ukulele together in front of their closest friends and family. The guests all changed into their finest 80s attire for their throwback reception and the evening was completed by a surprise ice cream truck from the bride’s parents.

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.
