Congratulations, Lindsay & Brad!

Some things you know are just meant to be together: peanut butter and jelly, moonlight and magnolias, Lindsay and Brad. Their relationship seems to be effortless, and their love and respect for each other is clear to everyone who sees them (in fact, Lindsay told a story at her bridal shower about a girl who stopped them on the street one night after a concert and gushed about how cute they are together). It was an absolute pleasure to coordinate their wedding day and help them start their life together.

I was busily setting up the venue before the event, so thank goodness Travis and Laura of Fuse Photographic were there to capture my favorite wedding day moment: the bride and groom's first glimpse of each other. Lindsay couldn't help but tear up when she saw Brad, who I'd like to imagine was probably a bit overcome himself (although I'll never tell his manly groomsmen that).

Speaking of manly groomsmen, Brad seemed to have them in abundance, which was good because Lindsay's bridesmaids were too gorgeous to go unappreciated (granted, they're almost all married or about to be, so we know someone out there has their priorities straight!). 
Lindsay's best friend and man of honor was also by her side, rounding out this incredibly good looking bunch. 
Once everyone arrived at the venue (my favorite again, Mile High Station!) after the pictures, the party really got underway. Lindsay had the fabulous idea to have their first dance on the main floor while all their guests looked down from the mezzanine above - it gave them a little bit of privacy while still giving all their friends and family a chance to be a part of their moment.
Every element of this wedding just got better and better: there was amazing food by Catering By Design, prepared and served by the best catering crew I've ever worked with. There was delicious cake thanks to Jen of Cakes By Request (who outdid herself even with a broken ankle!). There was music and dancing until the very last possible second. And despite temporarily misplacing the marriage license, everything ended as well as could be: Lindsay and Brad happily tied the knot and their lives together.


Congratulations, you two!
