Chris and Cecilia’s wedding day wasn’t about beginning their marriage—it was about honoring it.
Already married, their celebration in Colorado Springs felt deeply intentional. There was no rush, no pressure to make the day something it wasn’t. Instead, it was a chance to gather the people who have walked alongside them, to slow down, and to celebrate the life they’ve already built together.
From a photography standpoint, days like this feel different in the best way. There’s a quiet confidence to them—a sense of ease that comes from knowing exactly who you are and who you’ve chosen.
Chris and Cecilia share a steady, thoughtful connection. The kind that doesn’t need to be loud to be felt. Throughout the day, it showed in subtle ways: familiar glances, easy conversation, and the comfort of being fully themselves with one another.
Getting ready was relaxed and unhurried. Rather than nerves, the morning was filled with calm anticipation and meaningful moments with family and friends. It created space for photographs that felt natural, honest, and deeply personal.
Their ceremony was simple and heartfelt—less about formality and more about intention. Surrounded by the people who matter most, Chris and Cecilia took time to acknowledge their journey and the commitment they’ve already made to each other.
During the ceremony, Chris and Cecilia included a sand ceremony with their son Jackson—a meaningful moment that honored the role of family in all its forms. The act symbolized the intentional way they are building their lives together, with love, respect, and support of each other. It was a quiet, heartfelt reflection of unity and care.
When it came time for portraits, the focus was connection over posing. Chris and Cecilia shared a meaningful moment together, filled with easy conversation, gentle laughter, and a calm sense of connection. The Pinery provided a beautiful setting, but the photographs were shaped by their comfort, familiarity, and shared history.
These are the images that last—the ones that feel lived-in and true.
The reception felt less like a formal event and more like a gathering of community. Toasts were reflective and warm, the energy on the dance floor joyful and relaxed. It was clear how supported and loved Chris and Cecilia are, and how much this celebration meant—not as a beginning, but as a moment of gratitude and togetherness. And wow—was it a fun time. Dru and I haven’t seen a dance floor that lively in a long time. From the bride’s mom surprising everyone with a Dancing Queen routine—complete with boas and sparkly outfits—to guests dancing late into the night, the energy never slowed down.
One of my favorite moments was the way they chose to end the evening. As the DJ invited guests outside to prepare for the send-off, Chris and Cecilia stayed behind to share one last dance—just the two of them. It was a quiet, meaningful pause before the celebration continued, and such a beautiful way to close out the night.
Chris and Cecilia’s Colorado Springs wedding celebration was a reminder that weddings don’t have to follow a single narrative. Sometimes, they’re not about the start—but about the honoring.
Photographing a day so rooted in intention, trust, and shared life was an absolute privilege. They truly honored their relationship from start to finish.
