I met Jeff & Chelise about a year ago and have enjoyed reading their facebook updates about their wedding plans and I have to say that even those didn’t prepare me for how beautiful and fun their wedding turned out to be. I have never spent any time at the Colorado College campus and it’s absolutely gorgeous. The Shove Chapel sits on one end of a huge grassy courtyard and it’s within walking distance to the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center which is where the reception took place.
It has been such a pleasure Chelise and Jeff. Huge congrats to you guys:) Have a great time on your honeymoon!

Sassy Wedding Party

There were great toasts. I particularly loved that Chelise’s sister read from an entry in Chelise’s diary (dated 10 years ago!) which was all about Jeff:)
How adorable are their robot bride & groom cake toppers?
Loved the inspiring art everywhere. The Fine Arts Center is a great venue for a wedding!

Jeff and his friends set up a backdrop with string lights to create a cool blurry background.

You did an absolutely amazing job! Thanks for capturing my brother’s wedding so beautifully.
Thank you Katie! I’m so glad to hear that you like them:) Jeff and Chelise are such a great couple. I loved working with them:)
I am the mother of the bride, and I’ve always been proud of Chelise for her courage, kindness, and ability to rise above… but, April… you captured all of this and her incredible beauty as well. And Jeff, well, you certainly had the most handsome groom alive. to photograph. The pensive one of him waiting to see Chelise for the first time is absolutly amazing. You are indeed a very fine and gifted artist. I am so glad you found your calling!!
