How did you two meet each other?

Through mutual co-workers.

What was the best memory of your wedding day? Seeing everyone so happy! It doesn't  seem often you are surrounded by your closest friends and family who have smiles beaming from ear to ear, and you spend all day hugging and laughing. To be that happy and excited for the entire day, with all the people you love, was the best part for us both!

What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day?  Hire an independent wedding coordinator! They are a wealth of knowledge to guide you through the process. It will make all your hard work, efforts and specific request happen, and your wedding day will flow seamlessly, allowing you to enjoy it so much more! They are a wealth of knowledge to guide you through the process.Where did you go on your honeymoon?  Where did you stay and what were a couple activities you enjoyed.  Would you recommend to other couples? We took a 7 day Mediterranean cruise starting and ending in Rome Italy. We visited-Florence- Italy, Cannes- France, Palma Majorca-Spain, Barcelona-Spain, Naples, Sorrento and the Isle of Capri- Italy. Some of our favorite memories of the honeymoon are having Lemon Ice and Gelato in the Isle of Capri, visiting hundreds of year old churches, and receiving a blessing of our marriage from a Priest at the Vatican! Taking the cruise was a fabulous way to see a large part of Europe, without all the hassle! It was great to have everything arranged for you and only have to unpack and pack once!

Notes from the Bride:

How did you two meet each other?

Grant and I met each other our junior year in high school. Grant was my "tutor" for our AP US History class. With his help, I got a B! We have been together through the end if high school and then through college at CU Boulder.

What is the best memory from your wedding day? 

Katine: My best memory was during our first look when Grant gave me a frame with the first study guide that I left for Grant taped to his car.

Grant: My best memory was the first dance.

Do you have any advice for future couples?

Do not worry about the small details as your special day gets closer.  Also, the day goes by so fast so be sure to take a moment to yourselves and soak it all in.  Enjoy all your friends and family that came to celebrate the both of you.

Where are you going on your honeymoon?

Grant and I went to Great Exuma, Bahamas for our honeymoon. It is the Sandal's Emerald Bay Resort. The beach was sensational and the food was out of this world. We would recommend this resort to every other couple. We booked our honeymoon through Four Seasons Travel in Lone Tree, CO.

Be sure to watch the highlight video created by our friends at Wedding Memories of Denver.

Nicole + Tim's Estes Park YMCA of the Rockies Wedding {Estes Park Wedding Photographer, YMCA of the Rockies Wedding}

A few years ago, when we were just starting out our wedding photography business, we had the opportunity to capture the wedding of Amanda and Nick Peterson up at the Snow Mountain Ranch YMCA of the Rockies.  It was then that we became friends with the entire Hosford family.  When her fiance Tim's wedding festivities of course we were over the top excited.  They held their wedding and reception up in the beautiful mountain backdrop of the YMCA of the Rockies - Estes Park.   It was such a lovely weekend and its always great to catch up, laugh and celebrate with wonderful families like Nicole and Tim's.  Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Leadens!

Amy + Matt's Black Canyon Inn Estes Park Wedding {Estes Park Wedding Photographer, Rocky Mountain National Park Wedding Photography}

I first met Amy back in 6th grade when my family moved us out to the Stoney Point development in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  I remember spending many of nights running around the streets to all hours of the night and hanging out with group friends in the cafeteria and hallways of Taft Middle School.  A lot has changed since then and everyone is all grown up, but its always great to catch up with old friends.  Amy and Matt have always had a love for the outdoors and  a strong affinity for Colorado.  Matt proposed last year up in, the planning begun for an Estes Park wedding week.  I just knew I had to be a part of it all!  They got married at the lovely Black Canyon Inn and afterwords rented a shuttle to take us into Rocky Mountain National Park for some family fun and photographs.  We went all the way to the summit of Trail Ridge Road to find some snow and had ourselves a bit snowball fight in the middle of June!  Everyone had a blast and we could not be happier that we were able to be a part of the celebration.  Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Bergstrom!
