Natalia & Anu | Denver Botanic Gardens

June 4, 2019 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo2345 views

Grounded in the gorgeous Denver Botanic Gardens, Natalia and Anu celebrated their engagement with grace and style!

How they Met

Natalia and Anu met one magical night at a New Year’s Eve party. They had a great time getting to know each other; so much so that Nathalia’s stomach hurt from laughing! Then Anu kissed her on the cheek at the stroke of midnight! Just like in your favorite romantic movie!

The Proposal

Subsequently, Natalia and Anu had many wonderful times together, and it just kept getting better and better. After Natalia came back from the Peace Corps for a 3-week leave, they went on a date in Denver. As they were walking, they came across a flash mob. They stopped and watched for a bit, and then the mob pulled Natalia in! With everyone dancing around her, she finally realized what was going on! Feelings of anticipation consumed her. At the end of the dance, Anu walked straight through the dancers and proposed….Are you blushing yet? What a romantic proposal, Anu!

Denver Botanic Gardens

The Denver Botanic Gardens are a great match for this motivated couple. The garden has core values of transformation, relevance, diversity, and sustainability. It seeks to enlighten people with its mission to connect people with plants. The couple radiated with happiness as they walked in the gardens! This happiness was contagious and we all felt the connection!

The Waterfall

Yogi’s view water as representing the ‘flow’ of life. As the water flowed heavily and steadily in the background, Natalia and Anu held each other tight and smiled with conviction. They appeared confident and ready for whatever the future may bring; through thick and thin. May their marriage flow constant and devoted– steady like the waterfall 🙂

Congratulations to Natalia and Anu on their engagement! What a cute couple! We are excited to team up with them for their upcoming wedding. We’d love to team up with you too! 😉
