Emily and Justus’ wedding at Brookside Gardens Event Center in Berthoud was truly a special one! They didn’t just choose to get married at any old wedding reception venue. Justus grew up here! Can you believe it?! Up until ten years ago, the property was his families ranch where he and his 30 plus siblings(yeah that’s right!) grew up! It was so fun to be introduced to locations throughout the day where I learned a bit more about the family. Can you spot the marks on the doorway where Justus and his brother marked their growth along with their siblings?
The day started out sweetly when Emily’s daughter, Natalie, tried on Mom’s dress! I love thinking about how in the future she’ll be able to look back when she might be trying on her own wedding dress. The bright colors of the garden that Justus so carefully tended to were outshined only by their smiles. I was delighted to see how fun and easy they were with each other. I could tell that their friends and family run deep with support for them.
Thanks Emily and Justs for trusting me with capturing your most awesome wedding! Brookside will always have a sweet spot in my heart from now on. 😉 –Ryan
