Telluride Wedding

Ciara and Jonathan’s Telluride wedding had all the things I love to see in a wedding. Not the details or the view (although those were gorgeous, anyway). After all, when the cake has been devoured and the flowers have withered and the last song has played, the things that remain from a wedding day are the memories created from big wedding day emotions.

And the emotions felt by everyone on Ciara and Jonathan’s wedding day were the biggest and in lavish abundance. There was the pride that lit up Ciara’s father’s face every time he looked at her. The delight brought by the world’s best flower guy. The am-I-nervous-or-excited-or-a-little-bit-of-both feeling that Ciara and Jonathan experienced as the musicians began the processional music. And that was just during the ceremony!

The toasts brought happy tears and belly laughs in equal number while the dance party filled their guests with unbridled joy through debauchery. And at the end of the night, when we stole Ciara and Jonathan away for one final mini-portrait session under a sky filled with billions of stars, the newlyweds basked in the peace and serenity that only comes when you’re loved wholly and completely.

Ciara and Jonathan, we’ve had such a great time getting to know you two! You are both so kind and down-to-earth and together, you’re the very definition of soulmates. Cheers to many years of happiness!
