The Rocky Mountain air was fresh as Carrie and her Bridesmaids arrived to get ready for their day … the one they had been planning for months now, from hundreds of miles away.  Her girls were the most awesome kind … the ones that told you how they knew Carrie, and loved her like a sister.  A few blocks up the road, Ben was preparing for the same big day, with his family and groomsmen.

Carrie and Ben met in LA and moved to Miami together.  It was there that their love blossomed and turned in to the amazing kind that they have today.  Seriously, these two are the most thoughtful, caring, and genuinely in love people ever!  I have talked to Carrie for months now, and had never met her until this day.  She was STUNNING in her dress and lime green shoes.  Ben, he was rocking out a beige suit, green tie, and brown Vans.  Yeah, it was THAT AWESOME :)

Natalie got some great detail shots for me … the centerpieces were wrapped with Aspen bark, and each table had a mountain name on it
