Whether you take style tips, reception inspiration, or even just attitude goals from this free-spirited couple, we have a strong feeling you're going to love their day - almost as much as we do. Keep scrolling to feel all of the feels!

What made you want to get married on September 24th?

"We decided to get married on September 24th because we wanted to get married in the fall and as soon as possible! We got engaged on December 19th and figured nine months was a sufficient amount of time to plan."

"It all turned out so lovely and was a day

overflowing with love, gratitude, and holy joy."

Where did you draw inspiration & ideas from?

"We mostly drew inspiration from Pinterest. We got lucky & chose the very first vendors we met with - each of them were really able to capture our vision for the day & were great to work with."

Did you have a certain theme you wanted to incorporate for your big day?

"We both love Colorado & the outdoors, so we tried to incorporate some earthy feels into our reception venue while rocking the city scape. Merging the two together was a fun challenge, & I may be biased, but I think it turned out beautiful!"

What was one of your favorite moments from your wedding day?

"So many to choose from! Our first look was a such a moment of joy for us! We exploded with relief & happiness when we embraced in that moment. Sharing the sacrament of marriage was our absolute favorite part - our mass was full of people who have been very intentionally apart of our story throughout the years. The dance party at the reception was a blast - which was so important to us."

What advice would you give to other brides?

"Take moments throughout the day to step back, take in the scene, & be grateful. I can thankfully say I remember every part of our day - & I am so glad. Smile & enjoy! It is the start of the very best adventure."
