Amber and Josiah

Amber and Josiah Taylor

Carbondale, Colorado

What started as a wedding consult and a mutual love of Starbucks  lead to Kristi and me wiping away tears at Amber and Josiah's wedding just less than a year later . It's not an understatement to say that we grew to truly adore this couple.

There is so much to love about this couple but what strikes us most is how much they fiercely love each other. And while that love is easily felt by any one around them, it's still a sweet , gentle kind of affection. 

We watched Josiah fight the weather with his groomsman. All he wanted was for Amber to not have to worry about a thing on her wedding day.

We watched Amber as she anxiously and nervously counted down the minutes. " Tell him I said " hi"  when you see him. " she said as we went to take his photos.

"I just know my heart will feel like it's beating out of my chest." and " We can get married in the rain. We can get married anywhere" Josiah said, eying a dark cloud threatening our direction . And I knew there was nothing more true. For they would get married in a cave or the top of a mountain with no one to see it but themselves. Indeed, they didn't need perfection. They needed 5:00 pm .

And at 5 pm , their closest family and friends watched them and we all held our breath at the sight. We all cried as we listened to vows written so poetically and raw . To them, it was only them. To us, it was only them. 

This day, June 12th,   ended just as it was supposed to. Two beautiful people married together, blowing bubbles with their guests , the beautiful Rocky Mountains as a back drop. Yes, just as it was supposed to.

Congratulations, Amber and Josiah. Cliche as it may sound, we were truly honored to be there .

To each family member and friend who welcomed us in for the day, thank you!

Kristi and I met with Kayla and her mom, Kecia , in late winter and immediately were won over by Kayla's sweet and sassy charm and Kecia's love for her girl . We both crossed our fingers under the table at Starbucks, hoping they'd pick us to photograph Kayla and Michael's wedding.

They did and, as we grew to know Kayla, the more we looked forward to their wedding day.

June 11th brought a warm day and clouds threatened on the horizon, towering over the Colorado Rockies. We met Michael and , with a healthy dose of his own charm and polite manner, he immediately made us feel at ease . It was immediately clear to us that Mike and Kayla are so well suited for each other and even "better together" .

Rain stayed away until the end of the night, a cool breeze soothed guests who sat comfortably outside the big red barn that held the reception . Dance music and laughter floated through the air , hugs were shared and tears were wiped creating the perfect wedding day for Kayla and Michael.

Thank you to each family member, friend and fellow wedding professional who helped us feel so comfortable and welcome at such a sacred event. We feel so fortunate to have been apart of this day and hope that these photos will serve as a home for all the memories made that beautiful day.
