I love this wedding at Moss in Denver, Colorado. Moss is a hidden gem in the heart of Denver, Colorado. Its chic industrial vibe makes it the perfect venue for a modern wedding. And that’s exactly what Courtney and Nathan had in mind when they chose Moss for their big day.

Courtney and Nathan are relatively private people, so they knew they wanted their first moment seeing each other to be just them. We set Nathan up in the backyard of Courtney’s childhood home and ushered Courtney out to see him, with both sets of parents peeking out the windows.
