How did you two meet each other?

Through mutual co-workers.

What was the best memory of your wedding day? Seeing everyone so happy! It doesn't  seem often you are surrounded by your closest friends and family who have smiles beaming from ear to ear, and you spend all day hugging and laughing. To be that happy and excited for the entire day, with all the people you love, was the best part for us both!

What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day?  Hire an independent wedding coordinator! They are a wealth of knowledge to guide you through the process. It will make all your hard work, efforts and specific request happen, and your wedding day will flow seamlessly, allowing you to enjoy it so much more! They are a wealth of knowledge to guide you through the process.Where did you go on your honeymoon?  Where did you stay and what were a couple activities you enjoyed.  Would you recommend to other couples? We took a 7 day Mediterranean cruise starting and ending in Rome Italy. We visited-Florence- Italy, Cannes- France, Palma Majorca-Spain, Barcelona-Spain, Naples, Sorrento and the Isle of Capri- Italy. Some of our favorite memories of the honeymoon are having Lemon Ice and Gelato in the Isle of Capri, visiting hundreds of year old churches, and receiving a blessing of our marriage from a Priest at the Vatican! Taking the cruise was a fabulous way to see a large part of Europe, without all the hassle! It was great to have everything arranged for you and only have to unpack and pack once!

Notes from the Bride:

How did you two meet each other?

Grant and I met each other our junior year in high school. Grant was my "tutor" for our AP US History class. With his help, I got a B! We have been together through the end if high school and then through college at CU Boulder.

What is the best memory from your wedding day? 

Katine: My best memory was during our first look when Grant gave me a frame with the first study guide that I left for Grant taped to his car.

Grant: My best memory was the first dance.

Do you have any advice for future couples?

Do not worry about the small details as your special day gets closer.  Also, the day goes by so fast so be sure to take a moment to yourselves and soak it all in.  Enjoy all your friends and family that came to celebrate the both of you.

Where are you going on your honeymoon?

Grant and I went to Great Exuma, Bahamas for our honeymoon. It is the Sandal's Emerald Bay Resort. The beach was sensational and the food was out of this world. We would recommend this resort to every other couple. We booked our honeymoon through Four Seasons Travel in Lone Tree, CO.

Be sure to watch the highlight video created by our friends at Wedding Memories of Denver.

The Spa Retreat Jamaica Wedding | Jamaica Wedding Photographer | Bethany and Ron's Wedding

Bethany has been one of my best friends since my very first day of college at New Mexico State (almost 14 years ago WOW!!). We've had lots of great times together including Thursdays in Juarez, ski trips in NM and CO, bachelorette parties, beach trips, fun times in Austin and many many more, however nothing compares to her amazing Jamaica wedding last month!

It was an honor for us to be a part of Bethany + Ron's very special day at the Spa Retreat in Negril, Jamaica. It was a small gathering of about 45 of the couples' closest friends and families. By the end of the 4 days, it felt like we had all known one another for years! They had an intimate ceremony on the cliffs at the Resort followed by a fabulous dinner and reception just a few hundred yards away. I am beyond thrilled that Bethany found an amazing guy with a wonderful family to spend her life with! We are so happy for you both and wish you many fun years ahead!

xoxo,

Ashley + Drake

Words from the Bride: "Words can't describe the amazing vision Drake and Ashley bring to an event! They recently shot our destination wedding in Jamaica and it was obvious what a passion photography is for Drake. It wasn't a "job" for him, but a joy. We didn't just get wedding photos, we got a collection of memories from 4 days. I highly recommend having a photographer join for a destination wedding as it's wonderful to get shots from every moment rather than just the wedding. I couldn't have been more impressed!"
