Alexandra and Cole got married at The Barn at Raccoon Creek in Littleton, Colorado, in front of 115 people, two beer burros, one mini cow and three very invested Australian Shepherds. Danyell Kreplin was the lead photographer for Two One Photography.

Their Story

They met on a dating app Alexandra downloaded to window shop, and she replied because of his Australian Shepherd. Their second date was an Avalanche game. One hour after she walked across the stage at her nursing school graduation, Cole got down on one knee with the sunset behind him.

Getting Ready

She got ready in the bridal cottage, he got ready in the grooms loft, and nobody had to drive anywhere.

The Ceremony

Two things nobody at this wedding is going to forget. Her brother and his best friend came down the aisle as the flower men, throwing petals and dancing to Sexy Back. Then at the altar, a hand fasting, their hands bound together in front of everyone they love.

Alexandra and Cole

When we asked what they were most looking forward to, the answer was celebrating with all of our people. That is exactly what this was. Photographed by Danyell Kreplin for Two One Photography.
