After a couple of years doing the long distance thing, Blair and Blake decided to have their destination wedding at Chautauqua Park in Boulder, Colorado. Having had their first date and first kiss in Colorado, it was destined for them to head back to the Centennial State to promise their love to one another. The details and warm tones in Blair’s dreamy BHLDN gown goes perfectly with the Colorado golden sun, and use of greenery during the reception brings in the outdoors in. Nicole Veldman Photography + Video ventured out to Colorado with Blair and Blake, and she perfectly captured their sweet love.

The most important part of planning our wedding was making it feel genuinely “us.” We didn’t want to choose anything “just because.” We made each decision based on our individual and unique style as a couple!
My mom and I did all of the planning for our wedding. This was a much bigger task than I realized, but it turned out beautiful and exactly as I envisioned! I will say, looking back, it would have been very helpful if we designated certain conversations to be strictly wedding planning or strictly mom/daughter time. My mom and I would get really overwhelmed when every conversation turned into talking about the wedding! Sometimes I just needed to talk to my mom!

For my bridesmaids and maid of honor I really wanted them to feel themselves and comfort...
