Levi & Haley

Dramatic Elegance and Timeless Romance

The Gatehouse at Lionsgate Event Center, Lafayette Colorado

Oh, where do I even start with Levi and Haley’s spectacular wedding? Everything was nothing short of extraordinary, from their dreamy proposal on the Amalfi Coast to their fabulous wedding day!

First, let’s rewind a bit. Picture this: Ravello, Italy, on the last night of their Italian adventure before heading to Greece. Levi surprised Haley with a moped ride along the stunning coast. They ended up at an old villa surrounded by gardens straight out of a fairy tale. Levi knelt and proposed as they took a photo on the balcony overlooking the vineyards. Talk about a magical moment!

Fast forward to Levi and Haley’s unforgettable wedding day at Lionsgate Event Center’s Gatehouse. Despite the scorching heat, the atmosphere was nothing short of magical. Madeline worked her magic and transformed the Gatehouse into a mesmerizing, glamorous wonderland. The billowing white drapery, illuminated by the soft glow of Edison bulbs, and the striking contrast of black tablecloths adorned with elegant lamps, lush greenery, and delicate flower buds combined to create a breathtakingly dramatic and elegant setting.

Levi and Haley poured their hearts into every detail, infusing their personalities into every aspect of their wedding. From crafting larger-than-life custom wedding boards to putting together a one-of-a-kind “newspaper” filled with wedding details and stories for their guests, their personal touches were everywhere. Haley’s boundless creativity shone brilliantly, infusing the day with fun and excitement that captivated everyone in attendance.

While Christopher was upstairs capturing those “Mafia Style” pool table photos with Levi and the guys, I was with Haley and her girls, who were ready to rock it! Haley’s hair and makeup were flawless, and her bridesmaids were the sweetest, ensuring everything was perfect for the photos. We started with fun shots in their matching robes and, of course, the Wedding Day Newspapers.

Haley’s gown embodied pure elegance – its sleek lines, a form-fitting flared silhouette, and delicate cascading buttons. The detachable train added a layer of beauty to an already stunning piece. The giant bow addition after the ceremony was a fabulous touch everyone loved. Her veil, a cathedral-length soft tulle with petite pearls, perfectly complemented her dress and her grandmother’s timeless pearl jewelry. She looked effortlessly chic like she had stepped out of a high-end bridal magazine.

The Chandelier Barn set the stage for an unforgettable moment as Haley shared her first look with her dad. Witnessing her father’s proud and loving expression was priceless, tugging at heartstrings and bringing tears to Haley’s eyes. Then came Levi’s turn. Looking as dashing as a movie star, he laid eyes on Haley for the first time, and the emotion in his gaze was simply undeniable. It was a breathtaking moment, made even more extraordinary, when Haley surprised Levi with a heartfelt gift.

As guests mingled inside the Gatehouse reception area, praying for the 101-degree heat to subside, clouds rolled in, providing much-needed relief. The ceremony was beautiful, with a powerful, dramatic processional to Promentory from The Last of the Mohicans that flawlessly fit the day’s vibe. As Haley walked down the aisle, everyone was in awe. When Haley made her entrance and walked down the aisle, it was a truly awe-inspiring moment. The heartfelt ceremony, officiated by Levi’s uncle Tony, revolved around themes of love, faith, and commitment, leaving not a dry eye in the house, including my own.

The poignant moment when Haley and Levi presented single roses to their moms, grandmas, and other influential women in their lives was incredibly touching and filled with raw emotion. It was a beautiful and powerful display of gratitude and love.

The moment they were pronounced husband and wife, the atmosphere crackled with excitement!! As everyone sipped on cocktails and appetizers, the air filled with the enchanting tunes of a live singer, evoking memories of a bygone era and setting the stage for what was to come. And then, the pièce de résistance – The surprise of the dove release. The significance was genuinely awe-inspiring: doves represent the love of God, eternal love, and faithfulness. They symbolize new beginnings, new possibilities, new creation, and the presence of God. Witnessing Haley and Levi release their doves and then their tender embrace, accompanied by the release of a dozen doves, was nothing short of pure magic.

The evening exuded an air of sophistication from start to finish. As everyone savored the delicious Italian dinner, the captivating singer, Russ serenaded us with timeless melodies, setting an enchanting atmosphere. Following dinner, the unveiling of the champagne tower marked the commencement of heartfelt toasts. Each speaker’s words overflowed with deep emotions of love and appreciation. The first dance was nothing short of glamorous, with breathtaking spins and joyful smiles illuminating the entire room. The undeniable love between Levi and Haley was so intense that it was almost tangible, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present.

The DJ Cameron’s electrifying tunes had the dance floor pulsating with energy throughout the entire night, creating a fun and exciting atmosphere. As the grand finale approached, Levi and Haley’s family and friends gathered outside, filling the air with an enchanting display of bubbles and delicate flower petals, forming a shimmering tunnel that enveloped Levi and Haley as they bid adieu to their unforgettable evening.

Your wedding day exuded pure elegance and glamour, perfectly mirroring your unique personalities. We love you both so much, and we sincerely wish you all the happiness in the world. Please stay in touch; we eagerly anticipate the beautiful journey ahead for both of you!
