Erika and Grady are the kind of couple you can’t help but like. When I met them over a year ago, I loved their excitement for their big day and they wanted to have their wedding vendors be excited for their day as well. I hadn’t ever had the opportunity to do a wedding at UCCS, especially not in the library, but I loved the uniqueness of it! Erika and Grady decided to get ready at a large vacation home in Downtown Colorado Springs and it was perfect for awesome late morning lighting for the getting ready photos.
My gift to my brides is a personalized name hanger for their dress photos. Before I told Erika this, she called and asked me where I got all the other ones I used in the photos so she could order one and had to let the cat out of the bag on her surprise. Although they may not use it to hang their dress on it forever, I think it’s much better than a plastic hanger that most dresses come on!
Erika’s mom made her veil. She hand stitched all the lace on the bottom, and it was stunning.
What I loved most about this family is their love and emotion for one another. Such an important moment of a dad handing off his daughter and I’m so glad the way this photo turned out. I love real people and real emotion.
Erika was an awesome wife and rented this car for Grady for the afternoon.
Thanks so much Erika and Grady — you guys are such a wonderful couple and I’m so glad to have you as new friends!
