Denver Wedding Photographers | Mike and Anita

So much love.

Those words didn’t leave my mind as we photographed Mike and Anita’s wedding. Between the moments the two of them shared with each other throughout the day, to the laughter between them and their families during the reception toasts, to the absolute joy that illuminated little Gabriella’s face every time she saw her parents even after only the briefest of separations. The day was awash with love, support, and happiness.

It’s the kind of wedding you can’t help but feel blessed to be a part of, and we most certainly count ourselves as such. –anya

  1. These are fantastic. Maybe you guys and your cameras should be my “personal items” for the flight to Maui? 🙂

    1. Thanks, Monica! I’m going to go ahead and start working on my flexibility, see if I can’t just fold myself up into a pretzel small enough to squeeze into an overhead bin. You know what they say: where there’s a will, there’s a trunk big enough to hold a 5′ 9″ girl!
