Denver Wedding: Kendall & Ryan – Part I

There is just something so beautiful and elegant about Kendall and Ryan.  Something so sweet and romantic. Something so casual and real.  Like the girl next door kind of love.  Like college sweethearts kind of love.  You know, innocent.  Pure.

Their wedding was the perfect mix of all that sweet, innocent love and elegant, aged love.  Like a good wine.

Kendall and Ryan, I’ve told you before… if only all weddings were like yours.  I have so enjoyed our time together and cannot wait to visit you in Nashville.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for being you.  Carefree you.

You two mean more to me than you’ll know.  Thank you.

So much love to you,
René  + Jesie

P.S. Kendall emailed the day they returned from their honeymoon with the sweetest words… I just had to share:

Hi Rene,

I cannot thank you and Jesie enough for your professionalism, flexibility, relaxed vibe, calming influence, talent, vision, positive disposition, and above all, kindness. Our wedding day was fabulous, and was made all the more fabulous because we went with Rene Tate Photography.

I know that you pride your business on the experience, and what an experience it was for us working with you! All of the little extras- your favorite things, taking us out to dinner, the surprise on our wedding night (best treat ever!)- made our photography experience more than we ever thought it could be.

A good friend of mine who had gotten married a few months before we went with you gave me some great advice. She told me that when choosing a photographer, to choose not only based on style and photographs but on their personality as well, and she was so right! We interacted so much prior to and during the day of the wedding, and having you and Jesie there was like having a couple of extra bridesmaids that happened to have cameras. The number one comment we got during and after the wedding from guests was how much they liked our photographers- and they hadn’t seen any photos. I think that says it all.

Again, thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. It has been a pleasure getting to know you- please feel free to use us as a reference if you ever need one (though I am sure you have plenty!) and if you ever want to check out Nashville give us a call!

With gratitude,
Kendall

Kendall’s Jimmy Choos were to die for.

Kendall’s grandma was so sweet.  I love her.

Ugh, Kendall, YOU are so gorgeous!  Definition of gorgeous.  Period.  That’s all.

I could’ve photographed Kendall all day long.  I could’ve easily missed the wedding and just photographed her. ;-)

Her bridesmaids were just as gorgeous.

So while I was with the girls, Jesie was with the guys TOTALLY ROCKING it!  Can we PUH-LEEZ leave my girl Jesie some love in that comment box.

These next two images are literally some of my two favorite images of Jesie’s.  EVER.  The lighting, the journalism… it all just works.

Patiently awaiting his bride.  Their first look was so good! Another fantastic, story-telling image by Miss Jesie.

You don’t want to miss part II.  *sigh*  It’s the coolest reception.  And the cutest kids… :-)
