Some things you need to know about this couple.
Justin & Laura will 100% steal your heart. So just let it happen. You won’t be sad, I promise. When I first sat down with these two, I knew immediately that they would be an absolute blast to work with. Justin keeps you on your toes with hilarious comments, and the care that you’ll see Laura give to others will make you an immediate fan.
How they met.
Justin & Laura have a long standing history. A very long standing history. In fact, some would consider them still toddlers when they met. Their grandmas were friends, and Laura was brought to Justin’s house. He was not pleased that Laura looked at his Christmas presents under the tree, and the rest was romantic history. 😉 Laura’s time was split between California with her Dad and Colorado with her Mom growing up, and whenever she was here in Colorado she and Justin would hang out. Through the years they grew up, and eventually it was time to call them an official and committed thing…and Laura moved out to Colorado.
Their wedding day.
Laura told me when we met that they didn’t want to have to stress about the weather…so they picked a month that they knew would be cold and potentially snowy-February-and then if it ended up being warm it’d be no big deal. Easier than worrying about rain in June! Though I will say I think we were all hoping for snow. And boy, did they get the most beautiful, snowy, estes park wedding day! I have to give a HUGE shout-out to the whole bridal party, family, guests, and Justin & Laura. It was COLD, and not once did I hear a complaint! They kept the ceremony outside as planned, and rolled with it incredible attitudes.
The Black Canyon Inn is a wonderful mountain wedding venue, and one that can be rented out for the weekend with accommodations. That’s what they did, so that everyone could be together and enjoy a relaxed, vacation style mountain winter wedding. When we landed to start photography coverage, everyone was relaxed and have a blast. The best!
Twin Owls steakhouse in a fantastic reception venue that was beautifully decorated with shades of green and gold. This day is a classic reflection of why I so love being a Colorado wedding photographer. Capturing and being present with wonderful people on one of the most important days of their lives. Justin & Laura, I wish you absolutely the best. Thanks for having me and CONGRATS!!
