Tess and Amos have been friends since childhood. The bond they have is immeasurable, and that of their families too, so it was time for them to tie the knot. They live near Boulder’s Growing Gardens and often enjoy walking through the community gardens, so they inquired about getting married there even though it’s not typically a venue, let alone a wedding venue. And Growing Gardens said yes for this special couple! The intimate wedding that resulted was centered around nature, amazing organic food, storytelling and loads of laughter. Congratulations Tess and Amos!

First on the agenda was a first look in the Children’s Garden.
Second on our schedule was a stroll through the gardens with some time for couple portraits. I love when couples devote time to this before the wedding, it’s such a luxury! And they picked what might go down in history as the prettiest July in Boulder ever because we have had so much rain. They flowers were insane.
And then just as it sprinkled a few drops of rain, it was ceremony time under the roof! Tess’ little sister played guitar and sang Taylor Swift, and it was incredible.
For the reception, Chef Carrie from Peas & Carrots proceeded to make what might possibly have been the most amazing macaroni and cheese I have ever tasted! Lots of speeches and toasts followed, and with ensuing laughter too.
And we ended the night with a few golden hour portraits!
