Hudson Gardens Wedding | Kathryn Kim Photography | Littleton Colorado Wedding Photographer

Alyssa and Josh are such a sweet and precious couple, and I had a blast photographing their Hudson Gardens Wedding! Let me give you a little background on these two sweeties. Here is their love story according to Alyssa.

When Josh and I met, I knew that it wasn’t just about chance. There are many things that prepare us for the one that we marry. I think that the most amazing thing about meeting my husband is that it was the perfect timing. Josh and I grew up in Colorado Springs, but we went to different high schools. As it turns out, he knew my best friend growing up and I knew his best friend. We realized that we knew a lot of the same people. But we had never actually met until we both moved and went to college up at Colorado Christian University.

We met in choir and I remember learning his name with a “getting to know you” game. When our choir split up into separate groups, my group told me that we strive to be the “mothers” of the choir. To reach out to our fellow choir members if we saw them sitting alone on campus. I really took that to heart, which is why in a different class that Josh and I shared, I saw him sitting alone and I said hello.Normally I wouldn’t have done this, but I felt a strong urge to do this because of what my group had said. We began to talk and he said that he knew my best friend and so I couldn’t wait to talk to him more.

After about a week of us getting to know each other, we went on a date to Voodoo Donuts. He took me out because I had a rough day and then we ended up talking until 3am. We shared our hopes, dreams, fears, and wants. We shared everything that you possibly could with someone who seemed like a stranger. It amazed me how vulnerable I could be with this guy that I had just met. The even more amazing thing was that he was vulnerable with me too. After that night, we decided to give each other a chance and right away we knew that we wanted to spend our lives together.

Looking back on how we met, it reminds me of how people say, “I wish that I could have met you sooner.” I said that to Josh, and he replied with, “I’m glad we didn’t. A year ago, I would not have been prepared to meet my wife because back then I was a different person.” I am so grateful that I met Josh when I did. He had to be sculpted into the man that I fell in love with. And I had to be sculpted into the woman that he fell in love with. Soon after our year of college ended, we moved back to the Springs.  We started saving and preparing to marry each other. It only took a little over a year and a half for us to get married, but we could hardly wait for our lives to begin!
