Genevieve and Joseph made the journey from Denver to Durango, Colorado to celebrate their wedding day with eight of their closest family members in the beautiful mountains between Durango and Silverton, Colorado. A few months prior Genevieve contacted Meg, wedding planner and owner of Love Untamed Collective inquiring about intimate wedding possibilities. Love Untamed Collective had a breathtaking location in mind and won Genevieve and Joseph over with her gorgeous vision that matched what they envisioned for their special day. Later Joseph said, “We've always loved the natural beauty and stillness of the mountains, overlooking the landscape and being close to the vastness of the sky was the perfect place for our purest love for each other to culminate. I'll never forget turning around to see Genevieve before we were married, Genevieve is absolutely gorgeous and it felt like a fairytale moment for the both of us. Being married to your dream girl and best friend is the most wonderful thing!”
Genevieve decided to stray away from the traditional wedding theme and instead decided on a midweek intimate wedding, with a velvet blue dress (that fit like a dream), along with a simple headpiece that brought her alternative bridal look together perfectly. Love Untamed Collective put together a wedding team of vendors and we worked together on making the day something very special, indeed! Joseph and his brother began the day getting ready for his bride at The Bookcase & Barber while Genevieve and her soon to be mother in law got glam by Bree Kelly at The Chair Durango. Adela Flora Designs by Natalie put together a stunning bouquet and Love Untamed Collective brought everything together exquisitely. The couple arrived separate to the location, which required four-wheel drive so it was quite the adventure getting everyone there. They began with a first look and it was the sweetest thing. They have such a unique connection as a couple (meeting in high school but not dating until later, Genevieve jokes about how she had such a crush on Joseph). They are so sweet together. After the first look they mingled with family while enjoying champagne. As the sun set below the mountains the ceremony took place and they read their own written vows to one another. While Genevieve was reading her vows she laughed while happy tears rolled down her face and put down her vow book and from the heart spoke her endearing words of love to her husband. Everyone present had tears in their eyes. This serene moment of happiness was truly wonderful. After the ceremony we had a good time with photos and after they enjoyed the scrumptious table of delights Love Untamed Collective created for them. They sat around the table, laughing and chatting. As dusk arose they made their way back to Durango to enjoy a lovely dinner at El Moro Spirits and Tavern. A perfect wedding day.
