I asked Steph to tell me a little bit about Marc, and here’s what she had to say:
“I met Marc through my brother, Jason. Him and Jay are good friends, and we all went to Casselman’s for a show. It ended up being such a fun night. We all danced the night away!”
“For our first date we went out to dinner for sushi then went to a haunted house. Marc and I were friends for a while before we went on this date so we were pretty comfortable around each other. The haunted house was a good excuse to cuddle right up to him. I took full advantage of that!”

“One of my favorite dates with Marc was actually a weekend date in Breckenridge. He booked the cutest little condo right at the base of the mountain and as soon as we got there it started snowing like crazy. We ventured out to a cozy little Italian restaurant on Main St. that night for dinner then headed back to the condo to soak in the hot tub while it was still snowing. We spent the rest of the weekend snowboarding…it was such a great mini getaway.”chatfield-reservoir-state-park-engagement-session-008

“For my one year anniversary of moving to Colorado, Marc surprised me with a whole day full of doing stuff around Denver. I had no clue what we were getting into but it was so much fun!”

“Marc is an amazing singer/songwriter so anytime he comes out with a new song/cover he really impresses me! I could listen to his music all day!”

“I’m the lucky one in this relationship because I know Marc will always strive to keep our relationship fresh and me happy! He is always doing little things that make my heart melt, and I know he will continue to do that for the rest of our lives.”

I asked Marc to tell me a little bit about Steph.  Here’s what he had to say:
Marc saw Steph for the first time “Walking into Casselman’s music venue.  She came to meet her brother (my best man) and myself for a show a music school friend of mine put together.  Couldn’t believe how gorgeous she was!”

“There have been so many [nice things she’s done], but one that stands out most recently is actually when I was going through a more difficult time for a number of reasons and she stopped at Barnes & Noble to get me a book that my Dad had been telling me about. Incredible thoughtful.”chatfield-reservoir-state-park-engagement-session-030chatfield-reservoir-state-park-engagement-session-028
Marc admires “Her spunkiness, that trait alone of hers includes a number of traits that I love; her sense of humor, her energy, her confidence in who she is.”chatfield-reservoir-state-park-engagement-session-029 chatfield-reservoir-state-park-engagement-session-031He says the most beautiful thing about Steph is “Knowing that she has all the traits to be an incredible mother to ours kids in the future.”

Marc says that he’s the lucky one in this relationship because “She just all around makes me a better person.  I’m a better son, brother, musician, snowboarder, cook, worker….person because of her.”
