I met Kelsey over a year ago in a coffee shop where she had no doubts but to book me on the spot for her wedding day. In two weeks I finally get to capture and celebrate these two getting married! Kelsey and Dave have one of the wildest love stories that I have heard to date! I'll share a bit here and then some more on their wedding blog post!
It all started with Craigslist! Kelsey needed to find a new place to rent and Dave had a spare bedroom. Kelsey went over to Dave, and his other roommates house, and hit it off! Kelsey moved right in and Dave became her landlord. At the time Dave was already seeing someone but Kelsey was starting to really like him! As she put it, "you can't like your landlord though!"
Dave moved on from his then girlfriend, and that's when these two started to fall in love!
With their Spruce Mountain Wedding right around the corner, I knew I had to share a few favorites from their Colorado aspen grove engagement session!
