Ely and Jonah met through friends while Salsa dancing. There was an immediate connection however, there was one little problem, Ely is from Peru and only spoke Spanish. Jonah would not be dissuade from pursuing the exotic, dark-haired beauty and they stumbled through many, many dates with the help of a Spanish/English dictionary until they were able to communicate through more than wild hand gestures and shy smiles.
The lovely couple had me come out on a hot, August day for a couple of hours to capture the official joining of their lives together. The Denver Botanic Gardens provided an amazing backdrop for the quaint ceremony and incredible portraits in the late day sun. Jonah’s 7-year-old son handled the enormous responsibility of best man with ease and his two daughters beamed with happiness beneath floral head wreaths. Then the happy couple was whisked away to a beautiful backyard reception where a feast of traditional Peruvian entrees awaited.
