It’s not hard for me to admit that I was looking forward to Kelly and Willy’s outdoor wedding in RiNo for a year and a half. Ever since I captured their Valentines Day proposal in Denver they have been one of my favorite couples. Their energy is infectious and was ever present during their Colorado small town engagement in Crested Butte last fall. It all led up to their incredible celebration at Blanc in July.

It was a pleasure to witness how happy they were all day. From the moment we walked in the door they were each smiling from ear to ear. Their families and friends matched their effervescence so capturing all the moments was a breeze. The weather was spectacular which allowed them to have not only an outdoor ceremony but also a reception dinner al fresco under the market lights in the courtyard.

Everything came together thanks to a team effort from Donnah at Poised Events, Tasos with TH Entertainment, Mountain Crust Pizza and the rest of the fantastic vendor team. I wish we could do it all again.

Congrats you two, I’m so happy for you both!
