Josephine & Chris in Denver, CO

Josephine and Chris designed a celebration that would reflect their personal style as well as their deep appreciation for Eastern religions. “We wanted it to reflect our philosophical outlook and our passions,” the bride explains. “Sleek lines and sensual details for a casual yet refined feeling.” THE BRIDE Josephine Taylor THE GROOM Chris Tobin THE DATE September 4 Though Josephine, 27, admits to having had a “huge crush” on Chris, 29, as an undergrad at the University of Colorado at Boulder (where both majored in religious studies), it wasn’t until a chance reunion three years later that there were sparks. Josephine, an artist, had just moved to San Francisco to pursue a graduate degree, while Chris, an organization development consultant, had been back working in his hometown for years. The two had their first date within a week, and two years later, Chris proposed. They soon began planning a stylish and spiritual wedding in the bride’s hometown, Denver.
