I have been talking to Nicole for what seems like forever now (really it’s been about a year).  She and Garin live in Kansas City … which most of you know, is where I grew up before moving here 5 years ago.  She told me about her and Garin, how they met, and about their amazing wedding day.  I knew we were a match.  Since, we have talked over email, and the phone, planning and organizing their big day.  But, this was the first time I actually got to meet them in person! Let me just say … I am SO excited for their wedding this month.  It’s such a small world … and come to find out, we knew a lot of the same places around Kansas City.  It brings back some great memories  The way Garin looks at Nicole is priceless.  These two have a special kind of love.  One I can’t wait to capture later this month on their wedding day.  It’s going to be SUPER!

Nicole and Garin – Thank you for coming out for your engagement session.  I am so stoked for your wedding day!  Hugs!  - ME

Found these stairs.  Loved them.

A fave.  You two are so cute!

Nicole, Are you kidding me?  Ga-Ga-Gorgeous!

I think this one needs to be on canvas.  LOVE it!

And this one too

I heart this family!  I met Mary-Anne when I did a session for her a few years ago.  Since, she has had a son, about the same age as my daughter, and we also did a newborn session with him.  Over all of this time, she has told me how beautifully in love with her husband she is, and what an amazing man she married.  Seriously, Mary-Anne beams when she talks about her family.  Her husband was serving in the Army and was deployed for about a year.  I haven’t ever had the opportunity to meet him … until this session.  I had SO much fun rocking out these family pictures downtown with their amazing family! I am so happy for them to all be reunited!  It was so nice to finally meet the entire family!

I personally thanked Jeremiah for serving for our country … and I’ll do it again!  Thank you so much for doing what you do! Mary-Anne and Ethan … You have so much courage and strength, and I totally admire this!

I heart this next image … a LOT!

I also snapped a few of Mary-Anne and Jeremiah.  They are so adorable together!

I love this next picture!  I think it is my fave!  I want one of my family like this to hang above the fireplace!

Thank you guys so much for sharing your time with me!  I LOVE your family!  BIG hugs to all of you!

LOVE … LAUGHTER … FUN! I am truly amazed by sharing Nate and Angela’s wedding with them on Saturday. You will remember them from their AWESOME engagement session HERE.  Nate and Angela were our First Annual Free Wedding Give Away Winners!  Nate wrote the most AMAZING story of he and Angela’s love.  It is really one of the neatest things ever!  They will be helping us judge this year’s give away.  SO STAY TUNED!

Angela and Nate were married at Our Lady of Loretto Catholic Parish in Parker.  Their wedding reception was at the BEAUTIFUL Denver Botanical Gardens.  Unfortunately, we had some weather that came through, so dancing had to be moved inside, but they still had an absolutely AH-MA-ZING day.  Nate is one of the kindest people I know.  He is SO genuine.  Angela is STUNNING, warm, and so caring!  I love these two and feel so blessed that our paths crossed!

They had some amazing details at their wedding.  Sit back and enjoy the ride, this is going to be a long post!

How cute are these kids?  I love them!

Angela’s Father walking her down the isle.  Angela was BREATHTAKING!  I cried

Nate’s first look at Angela

As Nate and Angela walked out, freshly married, I caught this shot.  I really love this image!

As you walked in to the Denver Botanical Gardens, you could take an umbrella, just in case it rained How cute is this?

A little fun, KMP style … it’s hot, I’m not gonna lie

Nate and Angela are going to have gorgeous kids huh!?  These two are so good looking, it’s ridic

This next image is a super fave!

Nate had this rad pocket watch.  I loved it!

This is how Angela and Nate are ALL the time.  So in love  … another fave!

The dinner was in the Ballroom …. BEAUTIFUL

Because there was a lot of ground to cover for the guests, they had these flip flops in a wide array of sizes that guests could take … pretty cool party favor!

During Dinner, they had 3 stations, the first was my favorite, it was a salad bar … you chose toppings, they mixed your salad in Martini Shakers and put them in Martini Glasses!

I LOVE really unique details … after the first dance, the catering company began serving guests with these … HOW CUTE!

So after dinner, toasts and dances (and a good hail storm), we got to go back outside.  Angela changed into a more comfortable dress (with these HOT shoes) … Ang, I love you girl!

Again, I love Angela and Nate … this is totally them!!

And now … a super duper fave … going on the wall fave … Nate, you got SKILLZ

Nate and Angela, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your LOVE STORY with me … and allowing me to share such a special part of your day.  You are such an awesomely special couple.  I can’t tell you how much awesomseness I have in my heart for you!  Angela told me she would be stalking my blog from Mexico   I hope you and Nate are having such a FANTASTIC time.  Love you guys!
