Denver Colorado Wedding Preview - Rachel and Josh

I'm kind of obsessing over this Denver, Colorado wedding. I met Rachel and Josh at their friend's Vegas wedding last fall. They met at Noodles and Co. and fell in love over spaghetti and meatballs, Lady and Tramp style. Just kidding. They were coworkers but that's how I imagine it happened :P. Both Minnesotans, but decided to do a destination wedding in Denver. Of course I was up for it!! We did a shoot up in the mountains before their wedding day. Those photos aren't ready yet but here's a sneak peek of their wedding!

They rented out this entire hostel in the heart of the Lodo neighborhood. Ceremony took place at their cousin's winery, Silver Vines and the reception took place at Hostel Fish. It sounds a little offbeat right?? Well, this hostel is AMAZING complete with a piano and a bar.

He surprised her with a show on the ukulele, singing 9 songs chosen by him and several of their loved ones. Some talk about love, and some have special meaning to them. I was in tears for the entire thing.

This was a real photobomb. The upstairs was so beautiful with all that light, I just had to do their first look here. We warned everyone to stay hidden lol.

Mom was so emotional during her speech, she had to take a few seconds. And yes, that is a donut wall, thanks to Voodoo Doughnuts. They even had bride and groom doughnuts that they had kiss each other!! By far, this was my favorite "cake cutting" moments of all time.
