Luke & Heather - Wedding | Teshon Christie | Seattle | Miami | Denver Wedding Photographer

When Heather first contacted me a year ago to ask whether or not I would shoot her wedding I was honored and humbled. Heather is the type of person that everyone needs as a friend. Shes encouraging while staying honest. Gracious but accountable. Completely trustworthy and loyal. Luke is the perfect match for her. Considerate with his words and deeds. Steadfast and patient. Giving without demanding anything in return. Luke & Heather are the rarest combination of people. If I had to sum it all up in one word it would be genuine. To spend time with them during their big day was an honor that I couldn't take lightly.

Fast forward 12 months to a perfect day on a family farm at the Larralde home in Fort Collins Colorado. The bridesmaids and the groomsmen dressed in a classic black. While Luke & Heather sport white and compliment each other perfectly. It's rare to be at a wedding where everyone is completely focused on the bride and groom. So it's no small wonder how the way that Heather & Luke looked into each others eyes pulled everyone into the love that they openly shared with each other. The ceremony was filled with moments that touched you in a personal way. I'm grateful to have been a part of it.

This is an excellent catch by Claire my second shooter for the day.

This flower girl & ring boys combination got along like they had known each other for years. Just following Heather & Lukes lead.

 All eyes were on them, but you would have never known it. At this moment there wasn't anyone else in their world.

Pure bliss.

 

There was no way that Luke was going to be hijacked on his way down the aisle.

We had to take advantage of all that corn.

Some opt for a waltz. Some a simple slow dance. Luke & Heather put on a display of teamwork.

 

My hope for Luke & Heather is that their example of love touches many lives. That they can use the power of who they are together to give to their friends and family in lasting ways. And that their relationship continues to grow into what they both want and deserve. Have an excellent life together.
