Sarah and Brian’s Della Terra wedding in Estes Park was a little chilly, but perfect. Their story started at home. They lived in the same apartment complex and met while walking their dogs. Their love (particularly Sarah’s) for animals was a theme throughout the day from the horse and carriage that brought her to the ceremony and then to them away to the line in Brian’s vows…promising to be kind and patient even when she cries about all the lonely animals in the world that need homes while watching those Sarah McLachlan commercials.

They found me after one of their friends attended Kristina and Justin’s Della Terra wedding in October and told them they had to meet me. (Thank you!) Here are photos from the first half of the day. There are portraits and the awesome reception to follow!
