Kirsten & Mike: Telluride Wedding09.24.09

Kirsten and Mike are a fabulous couple from Seattle. When we first met them it was February. Snow was still on the ground and we talked and were inspired by the thoughts of a beautiful afternoon wedding surrounded by fall colors. We never thought about rain or snow, we all knew it was going to be perfect. When their weekend rolled around the aspen leaves were just starting to change, but the weather was very much like Seattle. Down pour rain welcomed their guests to Telluride.

Their family and friends came from all over, but this Seattle couple wondered why Colorado was having such odd weather. Planning began for a back-up ceremony location for the wedding day. All of the Colorado residents instantly became experts in weather trying to reassure Kirsten and Mike it would not rain all day like it did the night before. The morning started out perfect, skies were blue with very few clouds. As the clock ticked the clouds started billowing. It started to sprinkle…guests started to arrive…everyone was in place and then it happened.

It started to rain and everyone ran to Allreds. The beautiful ceremony under lift 7 was rained out. The staff scrambled to move tables while the wedding party and guests dried off. When it came down to it nothing was going to ruin Kirsten and Mike’s day. They were still going to get married and their family and friends were going to have a great time. Kirsten finally made her way down the aisle at a beautiful indoor wedding. Mike whispered jokes to her as she cried… the day couldn’t have been more perfect.

Words can not describe how Adam and I feel about Kirsten and Mike. You two are so amazing. After spending the weekend with you, your family, and friends, we know why you are the people you are. You are stunning and perfect for each other. You make Adam and I look like rock stars. We will never be able to thank you enough for letting us into your world. When we met back in February we knew this would be an amazing weekend. We never imagined how much detail and thought would go into every single aspect of your day. Kirsten and Mike you are simply amazing and we are so blessed that you came into our lives.

Thank you. Adam and Imthiaz

So Adam and I could not trim down this blog post to only 20 photos. Make sure that you check out the slideshow we put together. It is a bit long, however it tells the story the way it should be told.
