Nate and Colleen got hitched in Yosemite a few weeks ago and wow... it was a gorgeous place for a wedding! I was a lucky lady to be a part of such a fun, lovey day :)

Here's Colleen getting all beautified.

I loved her J.Crew dress... the simplicity really suited Colleen's easy going style and personality.

Omigosh, so sweet!

The way she looked at Nate throughout the whole ceremony was priceless.

My favorite photo of the day!

For dinner Colleen and Nate decided to have a private picnic... best idea ever!

I could have married this light!

Another unique idea: Cookie ice cream sandwiches instead of a traditional wedding cake! I LOVE how they thought outside the box and personalized their day :)
