“Love is friendship caught fire.”

You guys. Where can I even begin with Chelsea + Bobby? A ten year love story in the making, these two have it all. As the weeks and days led up to their Colorado elopement day, Chelsea + I became friends as we chatted about the details. Could she convince Bobby to wear suspenders? (She did, and he looked mighty fine.) Would they find the perfect location that didn’t require too much hiking, had incredible views, and allowed the drone? (Her mom did! It was BREATHTAKING.) So many more details and nerves talked though, by the time we finally got to this perfect September day, I felt a joy for these two as deeply as I would a long time friend. I awkwardly laughed so I wouldn’t cry with each nervous breath she took waiting for their first look. I sobbed at their vows. I sobbed some more with each edit months later. I’ll probably cry again when I publish this post.

Dave thinks I’m ridiculous. He’s right. #dontcare

Surrounded with the love of their two children and immediate families, C + B held each other close and vowed to love each other through it all. These two are straight out of their own Nicholas Sparks novel and we couldn’t have loved working with them more. In fact, we’re currently BEGGING them to renew their vows yearly so we can do it all over again.

We hope you LOVE their elopement film. It’s YET another favorite of ours.

Here’s a look back at their teaser, too! SO fun!

We loved working with Shanna of Shanna M. Photography and are thrilled to share just a TINY sampling of her incredible photos below. I mean, how freaking gorgeous, right? Make sure you head over to her site via the link below to view more.

Okay, and let’s also address the giant elephant in the room and acknowledge that yes, Chelsea & Bobby hired TWO Shannas for their wedding and that’s a pretty rare thing.
