Michele + Justin | Highland Meadows Wedding | Colorado Rustic Wedding

February 1, 2015

Michele and Justin held my second AMAZING Highland Meadows wedding of 2014, just a day after Kerra and Matt’s.  The sun barely even made an appearance at Kerra and Matt’s wedding, but wow was it sunny (and HOT!) on Justin and Michelle’s big day!  Michele and Justin had a beautiful aqua/mint and pink color scheme, that was just perfect for a rustic Colorado wedding.  The couple thought of everything, there were cute details at every turn!  Aside from the rustic details, they also had many baseball-themed aspects to the wedding.  Those went along so well with their baseball-themed engagement photos!  I especially loved the baseball bat “guestbook”, Justin’s baseball boutonniere, and the baseball cookies at the sweets table.  Oh how I loved working with this wonderful couple!  They are just the sweetest, they are so in love, up for anything, and always so gracious!  I had such a wonderful time photographing their wedding, and I am reliving it now while designing their gorgeous, leather flushmount album 🙂

They sent a cell phone picture to Justin holding these chalkboards…I am sure he was getting more and more anxious to see Michele 🙂
