Our tail feathers are ruffled about ruffles. Ruffles are so romantic, soft and girly. We are in love.

leigh + tommy

When you meet this couple, you immediately fall in love with them!

Leigh and Tommy met through mutual best friends (also darling newlyweds) after college and immediately started dating due to an instant connection. After blissfully dating, Tommy bought a house for the happy couple 2 years later, proposed on one knee in the midst of candles and roses in their new house – and they married on May 28th, 2011 on a perfect Colorado day. As gorgeous Leigh says: “We were beyond excited to begin the next chapter in our relationship as husband and wife, and spend the rest of our lives together”. Knowing this couple, you can really see the love and commitment between them. I had the pleasure of working with Leigh on her wedding invitations – an honor I will always treasure. Enjoy these stunning photos!
