DENIKA & AVERY

EVERGREEN COLORADO WEDDING

When our plane landed in Denver around 10 pm, and an hour-long Lyft ride into the mountains led us on a midnight mission to find the house where we were staying — we knew this trip would be an unforgettable adventure.

Denika and Avery are two of the kindest souls you could imagine. We’d never met them in person, but they welcomed us into their circle with a warmth and immediacy which was a surprise and blessing. Their friendship has been special to us, and we’ve stayed in touch since then — we’re even planning a reunion trip coming up soon!

Arriving a day or two before the wedding gave us the unique opportunity to spend time simply hanging out with their family and friends, getting to know their bridal party, and capturing extra documentation of the preparation leading up to their special day.

It was a beautiful thing to watch loved ones fly in from all over the country just to be present as they supported this couple.

Denika and Avery are both so confident and inspiring, yet also completely down-to-earth and goofy. At some point before the wedding day, the bridesmaids decided they all wanted to make a trip to Walmart to pick out animal-themed onesies to wear for their photos, after which Denika surprised Avery by wearing her unicorn onesie for their first look. It perfectly fit their personalities and brought so much laughter to their day.

When they met, they both were bold and independent individuals who weren’t interested in dating. But as their friendship grew it opened their eyes to the priceless qualities each other possessed… until one day, they realized that their future was meant to be spent together.

Their wedding was simple, sweet, and relaxed. A group of their closest people gathered in their family’s sprawling backyard to witness their emotional vows, and then danced the night away in celebration.

It was a joy getting to know and connect with Denika and Avery and their loved ones as we captured their story through photography and film. It truly was a dream wedding, and an experience we won’t forget. Thank you to these two for welcoming us into these sacred moments — we can’t wait to see where their journey leads next.
