Okay so full disclosure, I shot this wedding in July but completely forgot to post a blog afterward since the next day started an 8-week journey of traveling all over the place- but now I’m finally home and catching up and I couldn’t pass this wedding by!

Kelsey and Matt got married at a beautiful barn in Evergreen Colorado with their closest friends and family. The week before the wedding, Kelsey’s father passed away, so not only was their wedding a beautiful ceremony where Kelsey and Matt committed their lives to each other, but it was also a day where her friends and family had a chance to remember how wonderful her father was.

Although her father couldn’t be with her in person, Kelsey made sure that he wasn’t forgotten. She had a piece of his shirt tied around her bouquet and for the traditional father and daughter dance, she shared a dance with her mother while wearing her father’s hat. Although it could have made for an extremely sad day, it was still a joyful union between two people who were obviously meant for each other and had one of the best best man speeches I’ve ever heard. It was clear that both Kelsey and Matt were extremely close with their families and I can only imagine where their lives will take them coming from such strong family roots.

So congratulations Kelsey and Matt, I truly had the best time capturing your wedding day and I wish you both the best!
