Garrett and Laura’s wedding at Creekside Event Center in Colorado Springs is one we soon will not forget! Ever since their engagement session, I have been so excited and looking forward to Garrett and Laura’s wedding! They are such amazing people! So fun-loving, down-to-earth, and cute as can be together. I love how positive and full of joy they both are. If you haven’t had the chance to read their engagement blog yet, you should head over and read all about how Garrett and Laura got to this day!
Laura and Garrett A Colorado Wedding
As everyone arrived at Creekside, all the ladies headed over to the Bridal Suite, and the Guys headed into the Man Cave, complete with a Man Cave Sign. While the guys hung out and played some Mario Kart, the ladies were helping steam Lauras dress and pouring Mimosas! You could feel the excitement and nerves; it’s such a great feeling to see everyone helping and serving each other. The Bride and her bride tribe have such a special connection together. As Laura started to tear up before her and Garretts first touch, her ladies were right there calming her down and showering her with love.
Laura isn’t the only lucky one; Garrett’s groomsmen were hilarious! Christopher had so much fun hanging out with them while taking photos. It’s so wonderful when you have a group of people who have known each other for so long. One of the bridesmaids said they had known each other for 11 years. That’s incredible, and we could see this bond between them all the entire day. They were excited to be there for their friends and share this time together.
Their First Touch
By now, we had to start moving quickly; we had to do Laura and Garretts First Touch before guests began arriving. They wanted to make sure they saw each other for the first time as Laura walked down the aisle to Garrett. So instead of a first look, we did a super cute and romantic first touch. We made sure to get Laura ready and then brought Garrett over to the corner of the wall, reminding him don’t even think about peeking LOL 🙂 When Laura was ready, she called out his name to take his hand. It was such a sweet moment they shared, and honestly, one of those things that if couples don’t want the first look, I am Highly going to recommend the first touch. I couldn’t get over how much that touched my heart.
After their first touch, we quickly got Laura back to the bridal suite to get ready for her Groom to see her officially and prepared to say I DO and become Mrs. Hathaway.
Time to Say I DO
The ceremony site was beautiful! At the end of the aisle stood a wooden arch with gorgeous greenery and florals. A silver runner, flame-less candles, and rose petals adorned the walkway, and lights twinkled above us. The white barn doors opened, and Garrett took his place, waiting for Laura to come through the same doors. Once the wedding party was in place, anticipation was in the air for one of my favorite times of the day when the Bride walks in. The white barn doors slide open to reveal Laura standing there in all of her beauty and radiance. Chuck walked Laura to Jesse, who continued to walk her down the aisle to Garrett. Garret’s expression as Laura walked to him was priceless. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her, even with tears streaming down his face. This was the moment they both had been waiting for.
Their ceremony was perfect, their vows endearing and full of love, and the wedding lasso added such a uniqueness to the moment. After exchanging their rings and finally getting to say I DO, Garrett pulled Laura close to him and affectionately kissed his Bride!
After the ceremony, we gathered together for some photo time! We had such a blast capturing the joy, happiness, and all the laughter with Laura and Garrett’s family and friends. We tried our best to get as many photos outside with the Bride, Groom, and wedding party, but of course, Colorado weather wasn’t allowing it. So we got some quick shots in Creekside Backyard then headed back into the warmth of the building to get the party started!
Let’s Party!!!
This wedding party had the best Grand Entrance I’ve ever seen. They had their own dance coming into the ballroom. Once again, you could see the special bond this group had! After the dinner, toasts, and formal dances, the lights went down, and the party got started. We had a blast dancing the night away with everyone. We had such a fantastic time that when it was time for Garrett and Laura to jump in their getaway car, we were sad to say goodbye! However, it was a tremendous smelling send-off. Friends and family lined the sidewalk with paper cones filled with Lavender seeds to toss at the newlyweds as they excited Creekside and headed for the classic Rolls Royce waiting for them.

Thank you a million times over for being so incredible and for letting us be a part of your wedding day. We are so grateful that we were there to witness the beginning of your next journey together.
