John + Beri
A Genuine Kind of Love
You know those people you meet and you just know that they’re putting all the good back into the world that they possibly can - yea these two are it. Their wedding at The Pines at Genesee in Colorado was a representation of how much they love the people in their lives and the earth.
With an emphasis on family and conversation, their daytime wedding led to greeting your neighbor at the ceremony, a mimosa bar, an all vegan + gluten free menu, and lots of family and friends sharing laughs and hugs.
During the speech of John’s parents the sentence was boldly stated: “May the world be changed by your love story”, and I certainly think that it will.
Beri and John met in Costa Rica while teaching English to ESL students, and they brought their knowledge, love and support to kiddos in Roatan as well. After traveling around, Denver called them back and they started their lives in the Mile High City, eventually turning their relationship to a marriage.
Highlights: Daytime lighting, Beri’s dads Porsche, The florals, Billy (their Cat) walking down the aisle, when they all sang to Queen at the end of the reception, the after party, but most of all all their genuine and unique love.

Dan + Katherine
A Family Oriented Wedding
September 7, 2018 was a dream. Nestled into the foothills of Evergreen, Colorado is the most gorgeous backdrop from Katherine and Dan's wedding day: The Pines at Genesee. Mountain views, a ceremony site tucked away into nature, large trees covering the grounds. It's a stunning location to set the tone for an outdoor wedding.
Katherine and Dan's wedding was focused on family and had many beautiful details. Katherine's veil was made by her mother, Dan's daughter was the most beautiful Jr. Bridesmaid, cousins and sisters and friends as bridesmaids + groomsmen, Kat's uncle as their officiant, the list goes on and on.
The most heartfelt detail was when Dan used his late grandfather's razor + other items to shave the morning of his wedding. His grandfather was a barber, and while his barber chair rests safely in the hands of the family, his razor was front and center to get Dan ready to walk down the aisle.
My wish for you: Keep sprinkling your love on everyone you meet. You’re two amazing souls, and I cant wait to see what adventures come your way through marriage. Cheers, Newlyweds!
Highlights: Union Station shenanigans with the bridesmaids. Dan's Grandfather's razor, Katherine's ease as the day unfolded, Reagan's reaction as she watched her dad get married, their sweet sweet love, french fry bar, and last but never least a killer dance party to bring on the night.
