Anneliese and James are in medical school together, and traveled from Kansas City, MO to Rocky Mountain National Park to get married in the mountains! Apparently Anneliese had wanted to get married in Rocky Mountain National Park for years. Once they got engaged, she found the perfect dress and then they set a date and planned it all out! They chose Upper Beaver Meadows for their ceremony site, which had plenty of space for their bridal party and guests. The coolest part of the whole ceremony was when a group of elk ran into the meadow, and stayed the whole time we were taking photos. We had a lot of fun running around the park taking photos before they headed to their reception with their family and friends.

And now for some quick Q&A from the gorgeous Annie:

How did you two meet?

In graduate school and now we’re in medical school together!

Tell me your proposal story!

James took me to the Botanical Gardens in St Louis one day before a hockey game and completely surprised my proposing and he had hired a photographer to capture the moment! Afterwards we met up with dear friends to celebrate.

What are your favorite things to do together?

Netflix & chill, study, take our golden retrievers to the dog park, and go to happy hours!

Thank you so much to Annie and James for inviting me to be a part of such an amazing day! Intimate weddings in Rocky Mountain National Park are my absolute favorite thing! You guys are awesome and I wish you the best in all your endeavors, and good luck studying for boards!
