The Avant-Garde Groom

Whiskey. Cigars. Handsome Men. Edgy Style. 

We are constantly pushing our clients to be who they are and let their personalities shine on their wedding day. We truly believe that the union of two people should reflect who those two people are at the core. We seek a less traditional approach that usually leads to a very intimate, unique and personal experience for the couple and their wedding guests. 

We want to encourage grooms to take a more unique approach to their wedding day attire. Throw the traditional or lackadaisical attitude out the window guys. Let’s bring more style to your wedding day attire, because hey, it’s your day too. Wear a suit jacket that isn’t the exact same color as your slacks, wear a felt hat, un tuck your shirt, scrap wearing a tie, be bold by wearing bold colors, grow out your beard, smoke a cigar, drink some whiskey, show your tattoos and let’s celebrate your love for your beautiful bride.

A Garden Love Affair

Highlands Ranch Mansion is a dream venue for any bride looking to relive her 5 year old wedding day fantasies. We came together with Ali & Garrett Photography, Park Floral Design, and other amazing vendors to create this modern fairytale. 

Bright pops of color in the florals and vintage rentals from House of Yonder brought the tangy, fun, spring elements. We absolutely adored working with Ashley Swapp from Park Floral Design. Her creations are unbelievably stunning. 

Organic, vintage with a modern twist, romantic, farm-to-table, and bright pops of color were the driving factors behind the styling of this shoot. Given the main themes, the vendors were then asked to interpret and create their own vision. After all, we LOVE seeing what people create when they are given the freedom to do so. We could have not been happier with the way our vision was brought to life. A huge thank you to the talented Ali Brannan of Ali & Garrett Photography. The way the light is captured in these oh so romantic photos warms our hearts.
