Kelsey + Nathan: Rehearsal

Photobucket

I am so excited to share with you the wedding rehearsal of Kelsey and Nathan! Their wedding took place at the gorgeous Trinity United Methodist Church in downtown Denver. It was a gorgeous church that Clint and I had actually considered for our wedding. It was so neat to be shooting a wedding there instead!

Kelsey looked so stylish in her White House Black Market dress and her fabulous red shoes! Kelsey sells shoes at Nordstrom, so I of course had to get plenty of shoe shots for her!

Nathan's sister, Courtney is a wonderful cello player and she played several beautiful songs during the ceremony.

After they practiced the ceremony several times, we ran outside to grab a couple shots of just the two of them.

I love this photo of Kelsey holding her dress so the wind wouldn't catch it. It was getting really windy because a big rain storm was moving in.

I also took several photos of my good friends and Kelsey's sister, Hannah and her husband, Brendan! Aren't they cute? They have been married over two years and are still so in love!

For dinner, we went to Garcia's Mexican Restaurant which was so fitting because Garcia is Nathan's last name.

I think this is one of my favorite shots of the night.

I caught Nathan playing with Kelsey's ring and it was so sweet!

After dinner, we watched two slideshows with photos of Nathan and Kelsey from their childhood all the way through their engagement.

After that, they opened their wedding presents from their family.

Kelsey's older sister, Meghan made them a quilt that matched Kelsey's peacock inspired wedding.

It was a wonderful and super sweet night for both of these families as they celebrated Kelsey and Nathan and their upcoming life together.

Kelsey: Bridal Party Brunch

Photobucket

For her bridesmaids, sisters and moms, Kelsey threw a bridal party brunch the day before the wedding. I felt so special to be invited and join in on the fun!

Kelsey's niece, Rachel was in Colorado for the first time and she was being super cute trying to get all of the attention. She knew how to win all of her aunts' hearts!

Here's me with the gorgeous group of girls! They're so sweet to include me!

Kelsey gave everyone a little box from Nordstrom where she works.

Inside each box was a pair of these gorgeous earrings for each girl! Kelsey was so sweet and gave me some as well! I love them and I wore them to the wedding.

Kelsey also prepared a wonderful brunch with some yummy quiches, fruit, scones and juice. I think she was working way too hard before the wedding, but it was fabulous!

To end, I love this photo of Natalie, the candlelighter and Kelsey's little sister-in-law. This is just one of the many cute photos I took of her throughout the weekend.
