Nick and Melissa met at the Terminal Bar inside Union Station, Downtown Denver and we were lucky enough to do some of their engagement photos there! Then a few weeks before Christmas last year, the couple made plans to go to dinner and a play. To Melissa’s surprise Nick gave her a box to open before they left the door. She was so excited to be spending Christmas with Nick for the first time in just a few weeks and was a little confused why she was opening a gift before the holidays. She figured maybe it was something Nick wanted her to wear for the night and opened it, to find it EMPTY! Nick then got down on one knee, ring in hand, and asked Melissa to marry him!
If your remember, Melissa is more of a city girl and Nick loves the country life. When searching for a location they wanted to make sure that it incorporated both the couple’s tastes. Baldoria Event Center in Lakewood, Colorado provide a perfect mix of rustic and modern to meet both their personalities. Melissa was a stunning bride wearing a Martina Liana wedding gown from the Bridal collection and Nadri jewelry from Dillards. I love her taste in classic pieces that will never be out of style. Her hair styled by Clementine Salon and make up by Nicole Toledo added to the sophisticated and traditional look she had envisioned. To finish her look, she held beautiful bouquet of purple, pink and white roses designed by Something Styled Events.
With the gorgeous golden light that this season brings, having a fall wedding is something many couples desire. This year we were particularly lucky with warm weather and plenty of color left on the leaves which is unusual for late October in Colorado. The couple shared their vows and exchanged the rings, and we stepped outside for formal portraits before heading to the reception. I was so excited to have wonderful light and all the oranges and yellows Autumn provides and we could have not been happier with the amazing weather. The couple was able to spend some time alone before heading back to enjoy a delicious meal catered by A Perfect Bite and cake/dessert from The Dessert Stand.
