Denver Botanic Gardens Wedding in the rain

Congratulations! — Again!

We teamed up with Hayley and Josh last year for their engagement photos after Josh surprised Hayley by proposing to her at Larimer Square. We have been waiting for their wedding day ever since! The rain and the backdrop of the Botanic Gardens made for a whimsical and romantic day.

Rain or Shine

They say that rain is good luck, so when it rained, we broke out the umbrellas and ran with it, literally! We think the rain made for some one-of-a-kind wedding photos and made the day even more romantic!

Wedding on the Go

We started the day at The Jacquard, Autograph Collection, and then adventured to Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Denver for H+J’s stunning ceremony. Afterward, we trekked over to Cheeseman Park, Denver, Colorado for bridal party photos on the classic pillars and then ended up at the Denver Botanic Gardens for a night of celebration and far too much fun!

Yes to the Dress!

Hayley’s Dress was a stunning piece by Galia Lahav House of Couture with a custom veil made with pieces of Hayley’s mom’s wedding dress by Donna Beth Creations. We are obsessed with the idea of using her mom’s dress – such a special detail to add to the day.
