Denver Wedding Photographer | Stonebrook Manor

This post is long overdue, and that’s an understatement. I have been ready to share this amazing couple’s wedding day at Stonebrook Manor since I sat down with them over a year ago for their wedding consult. It truly feels like the year since I met them flew by and I can’t believe that it has now already been 3 months since they exchanged their vows and became husband and wife. With being so busy, it can be easy to forget and just breeze through wedding season, but the magic really happens when things start to slow down and I get to sit down and relive the moments that I witnessed and documented on my couple’s wedding days. Kathy and Derek’s Denver wedding at Stonebrook Manor is one that I will certainly never forget.

Kathy and Derek both have the biggest hearts and are a true joy to be around. They are the kind of couple that you feel wonderful being around because their happiness radiates to everyone around them. I loved that each and every guest that attended their wedding was deeply rooted and invested in them and their love story. Their wedding day was as perfect as you could ever imagine. Kathy and Derek got married at Stonebrook Manor under the pavilion on the lawn and then spent the rest of the evening celebrating with their closest family and friends in the ballroom. To say it was lovely is an understatement, but sometimes there just aren’t the right words!

Here are a few of my favorite moments from Kathy and Derek’s wedding day:

After not seeing each other in person for years, Kathy’s biological father and brother traveled all the way from Poland to be there for her wedding. He even gave his toast in both Polish and English! I loved how Kathy’s biological father expressed such appreciation for her Dad that raised her during his toast. I definitely couldn’t hold back my tears during that one.

I love how all of the guests at their wedding stood up and clapped as Derek came down the aisle. The outpouring of love and support for their marriage was evident within seconds of their wedding day beginning and that is always such an incredible thing to witness.

After their wedding ceremony Kathy and Derek attached a locket to the gate at Stonebrook Manor surrounded by locks from other couple’s that were married there in years prior. It’ll be such an awesome thing to go back and see in future years!

Derek’s physical therapist gave such a moving toast about his recovery and it really solidified just how strong Kathy and Derek’s relationship is and how much they have already endured together.

Annnnnd one more super cute + fun fact. Derek set the bar high for all proposals in the history of proposals. He took Kathy on a horse pulled carriage ride in winter park and had a box of cookies spelling out “will you marry me” and then they had a romantic winter wonderland day in the mountains, seriously so thought out and so special!

I would photograph their beautiful Denver wedding over and over again if I could.
