Vail Donovan Pavilion Wedding: Ken & Michelle

Weddings

The beautiful home tucked away into the mountains was calm and peaceful. I heard soft giggles coming from the upstairs, and as I entered the room Michelle was watching the stylist do her mom’s make up – totally relaxed and excited to marry the man of her dreams. The dress was already hanging elegantly from the window, with all of her details and jewelry beautifully displayed on a table.  Michelle is one of the most relaxed and fun, yet organized brides I’ve ever met – and that beautiful balance was the theme of the today.  In other words, the day was seamless.

Ken & Michelle met at her brother’s house-warming party in Denver.  They both noticed each other that night, and Ken knew that he needed to get to know this beautiful girl. Ken is an architect, and naturally..like designing a home, he had thoughts about the plans and design for his life; and the more he saw of Michelle, the more he knew she needed to be a part of that plan. They spent their time exploring Denver, playing volleyball at Wash Park, traveling to new places, laughing and enjoying time with their friends.  Everything they did together had a new excitement to it. And that excitement and love is felt by anyone that encounters them.  They are honestly some of the sweetest people I have met and man, do they know how to have a good time! Laughter, thoughtfulness, and love filled the air the whole day!

I knew Ken from Jr High and it has been so fun to reconnect and get to know Michelle! I treasured seeing old friends and family I’ve known for years, who joined me in my excitement for Ken & Michelle because they truly are a perfect match. Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of such a beautiful celebration!
