Courtney and Ben first crossed paths at Dion's Pizza, where they were introduced by mutual friends who were trying to set Courtney up on Tinder. However, fate intervened when they bumped into each other again a few months later during spring break, and they hit it off as friends. As their bond grew stronger over time, it became clear that their connection was more than just platonic. They soon found themselves spending every day together and eventually fell deeply in love.

On the day of Courtney's law school graduation, Ben seized the opportunity to make a romantic gesture that would change their lives forever. Surrounded by their loved ones, Ben got down on one knee and asked Courtney to spend the rest of their lives together. Overwhelmed with joy and excitement, Courtney eagerly said yes to the proposal, marking the beginning of their journey as lifelong partners.

The couple made the decision to tie the knot in Colorado, drawn by the state's stunning natural scenery. Opting for a picturesque location in Durango with breathtaking mountain views, they chose to do their engagement shoot in Downtown Denver. The urban landscape, with its twinkling cityscape lights and distinctively modern vibe, offered a unique and striking contrast to the natural beauty that would serve as the backdrop for their wedding photos.
