Shelley and Will
Colorado Springs School
May 1, 2010
Shelley and Will have such a wonderful story! They were high school sweethearts at the Colorado Springs School. They used to sit on this bench together, and even had their first kiss sitting right here. Eventually they parted ways and went on to raise their own families. They recently reconnected and fell back in love. It was the perfect choice for them to come back to the beautiful CO Springs School, which is also a wedding venue, to exchange vows on this very bench.
Congratulations, Shelley and Will! I’m so happy for you to be together again!
Shelley and Will and their families got ready at the beautiful Broadmoor resort.

Will’s reaction to seeing Shelley
They said their vows on the same bench where they loved to sit and kiss when they were in high school.
I love little candid moments like this one.
Maybe 30 seconds after Shelley and Will left the ceremony, the automated sprinklers turned on! How’s that for great timing?
A hug for his brother, with a tear in his eye.
After the ceremony, the guests passed around a candle and took turns giving wishes or advice to the newlyweds. Will’s son announced that he wishes for a baby sister.
We took a few portraits on their bench before heading to the Broadmoor for the reception.

They ended the day with an intimate wedding dinner in the Penrose Room, which offers grand views of the resort and mountains.
Great work. I like they way you often shoot loose and take it all in.

Sorry for not commenting in a while, but I love these. I love the simplicity and elegance of it all. I like the dress very much, but I think the crown of flowers is an especially nice touch!
