This is one of my favorite Details features we have ever posted on SW! How gorgeous is this wedding!? Photography by the amazing {Kate Benson}. Thank you so much for sharing this stunning wedding with us, Kate! For more of Kate’s work, be sure to visit her beautiful {blog}. Stay tuned for Part II…
From Kate: Katie and Torsten reside in Phoenix, AZ. but had their wedding in Salt Lake City. Upon our initial meeting, Katie and I hit it right off. I loved that her personality was so bright and cheerful and just instinctively knew her wedding would showcase that. I also sensed that she was deeply and madly in love with Torsten, although I didn’t get to meet him until their engagement session. When I was finally able to photograph them (almost one year later), I didn’t have to do much work, their chemistry was amazing. On the wedding day, one of the groomsmen pretty much summed up the wedding- It was Katies big day, something she had taken a lot of time and consideration into, and Torsten was lovingly there to see that every possible thing was done correctly and handled with care… not matter how many times she called him. It was a beautiful day, full of color and excitement!
Check back shortly for Part II!
GORGEOUS!!!
Wow what a wedding! The colors are wonderful and bright. So cool and frash:)
OMG I am madly in love with the feathers in the bouquets! So fun!
Love the bright colors and the variety in the dresses and shoes.
Couldn’t leave without leaving another comment! I am so in love with the flowergirl basket and the bouquets!
is there ANY way to find out where the bridesmaids dresses are from????
Hey thanks for the comments! Kate did an absolutely amazing job capturing everything throughout the day. For the person who wanted to know where the dresses were from…The pink one is from Cache, the yellow one is from Banana Republic and the orange one is from a bridal salon in St. Louis…will try to find out the manufactuor is. Thanks again. I will hire Kate again and again when we renew our vows:)

I love the dresses in different colors and styles!!! How did you manage to coordinate that with your maids?? Did you just tell them the color, or were you specific about exact shade/fabric/length? I’m thinking of doing something very similar, and now I see how great it can turn out!!
I am LOVIN’ the bouquets and the bridesmaids dresses! Makes me want to get married all over again!
As far as the dresses go I sent the girls the three swatches of the fabric colors I wanted and told them I would prefer around knee length. We hashed it out over emails and over the phone since none of them lived in Arizona. We decided on who would wear what based on skin/hair color and personlaity and it worked out perfect. I loved it b/c then they could pick something that was really them and in a price point they were comfortable with and I think the colors just popped! I have seen this done with black before, but think it makes such a statement with the vibrant sunset/moroccan colors! Thanks for the feedback. It is fun to have a vision in your head and see it come to life and have people appreciate it! PS I am a wedding planner in Phoenix, so if anyone needs help let me know! Katie

Where are the shoes from? I am getting married in July and I would *love* to get them or something similar!
The shoes are from a place in Minnesota called Maudie McBrides. Small boutique in Minnesota not sure where she ordered them from but you could def look them up and contact them. They have amazing, unique stuff and I believe you can shop online with them.
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH – from the feathers in the bouquets to the flower girl basket to the bridesmaids dresses, this is true wedding porn for me! I’d love permission to post about this on my blog, and give full credit where due. May I? Its so gorgeous!
