I’m so thrilled to share this wedding with you. I met Joelle and Will last year at The Curtis hotel in Denver, Colorado, and we hit it off right away. The two of them are radiant, kind, and sweet–people everyone wants to know and spend time with. I really enjoyed every moment I got to spend with them, and am honored that I was a part of their journey together.
And the story leading up the wedding is one of courage, and triumph. Joelle was the victim of a violent car jacking earlier this spring–an incident that put her in the hospital for several days, and gave everyone around her a serious scare. But her courage, and the support from Will, as well as her family and her friends, proved untouchable in the face of major adversity.
Joelle, you looked breathtaking on your wedding day, and I’m so happy that you were able to recover in time to walk down the aisle and say your “I do’s.”
To the both of you, thank you for allowing me to be with you, and for sharing such intimate moments with me. I wish you both the very best that life has to offer.
A big thanks to Laura Murray for assisting me with this wedding!
