Hi there! Welcome to the MSP blog, a place where I showcase the best couples, photography tips and much more. Stay a while and say hello!

Hi, I'm MELISSA!

Zach + Kim | Denver Athletic Club Wedding | Denver Wedding Photographer

Feb 6, 2023

When Kim, Zach and I first met at their engagement session, they described their wedding as a “multi-cultural party” and that’s exactly what it was! The Denver Athletic Club was the perfect venue for Kim and Zach to say “I do” surrounded by their family and friends.

It was a crisp, sunny, Colorado fall day for these two lovely people. Kim and Zach both prepared for the day at the spacious Denver Athletic Club. Kim surrounded by her beautiful bridesmaids in custom pink traditional Vietnamese dresses. Nearby Zach relaxed with his guys in bolo ties, shooting a few games of pool before the ceremony.

As Kim stepped into her custom Ao Dai inside, Zach slipped on new boots on the beautiful rooftop of the DAC. The sun shone brightly as their ceremony began, and everyone looked back with excitement as Kim walked down the aisle. Zach smiled lovingly as he watched his bride walk towards him. Their ceremony was full of laughter, love and emotion. After it ended, the new Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter signed their marriage license to make things officially official!

Kim and Zach took portraits together just steps away from their guests at cocktail hour. So it’s no surprise that they got a cheer every now and again from their family and friends. After cocktail hour, the reception began and guests were surprised by an amazing performance from the Lion Dancing Troupe at Colorado Asian Cultural Heritage Center. The party continued from there, with Kim and Zach sharing their first dance as husband and wife followed by Zach and his mom sharing a loving dance together as well.

I’m so glad we were able to capture their grand exit! They were cheered on by their nearest and dearest with gold pom poms, making for some great photos. What an amazing day to begin this next chapter of their lives together.

Kim and Zach, thank you for including MSP in this exciting time of your life. This wedding was beautifully shot by MSP associates Kelly and Danielle, edited by Melissa. Congratulations again!
