These two lovebirds from Texas decided to host their fabulous wedding at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. They traded the Texas spring humidity for crisp mountain views and budding blossoms. It was an absolutely gorgeous day in May at The Broadmoor. And by gorgeous I mean, nearly utopian… there was literally a family of swans complete with baby ducklings swimming on the lake.

Amy and Gentry were surrounded by nearly 300 of their family and friends and I came to quickly realize the stereotype of "good southern hospitality" to be true. These Texans were some of the kindest bunch I have had the honor of photographing. Their joy was pure, and their excitement contagious.

The decor and creativity that went into this wedding is off the charts! Such beautiful details everywhere, including the amazing floral designs by Design Works. I've never seen the Cheyenne Mountain Lodge at The Broadmoor look so chic!

Designer and coordinator Christine of Belle of the Ball in Texas was able to perfectly mesh rustic and classic elegance. She is absolutely amazing at what she does, and she does it with a JOYFUL heart! Which to me is so KEY to having a pleasant memorable wedding experience.

I couldn't have properly photographed this event without the help of my dear friend and fellow photographer Sara Joy. She was an incredible help in capturing all the beautiful details of this wedding! Thanks Sara! I couldn't have done it all without you.

These people knew how to party! The live band Jakarta from Denver (one of my favs) rocked the house! The dance floor was full and gettin' CRAY! :)

One of my favorite parts of the whole wedding was Amy and Gentry's grand exit… complete with a Porche and fireworks! YES!

Thank you Amy, Gentry, your wonderful families, Christine, and The Broadmoor for making this wedding as beautiful and memorable as it was.

Much love!  May you live happily ever after!

Congratulations Amy and Gentry!!
