Kelly and Jason’s St. Mary’s Catholic Church Littleton wedding was everything they hoped for: romantic, traditional, and centered on their Catholic faith. Their late‑November celebration felt especially cozy, with the soft winter light and a reception just steps away at Marian Hall and Ave Maria Hall on the parish campus.
About Kelly & Jason and their vision
When I first read their questionnaire, one of the memories that stood out most was their favorite date: wandering through the Denver Botanic Gardens Christmas lights display together. It said so much about who they are as a couple—drawn to simple, beautiful moments, especially in the winter months.
For their wedding, Kelly and Jason wanted a day that felt romantic, emotional, and classic. They envisioned a traditional Catholic Mass at St. Mary Catholic Parish in Littleton surrounded by 100–150 of their closest family and friends, followed by a warm, relaxed buffet reception in Marian Hall and Ave Maria Hall.
The winter light
St. Mary Catholic Parish in Littleton is a beautiful choice if you’re dreaming of a traditional church wedding. The parish campus includes the main church plus Marian Hall and Ave Maria Hall on the same property at 6853 S. Prince St., so guests can walk right from Mass into the reception without driving across town. Inside the church, the architecture and stained glass give you that timeless, classic backdrop for your vows and portraits.
Faith‑centered details
Kelly and Jason’s day is centered around a full Catholic Mass and the religious moments that mean the most to them, including their prayer after receiving the Eucharist and their Flowers to Mary. They specifically asked for these parts of the liturgy to be documented because they know they’ll matter most when they look back on their photos.
During the Mass, I’ll follow St. Mary’s guidelines and the usual Catholic expectations—staying respectful of the liturgy, limiting movement in the main aisle, and avoiding flash so the focus stays on the sacrament. I’ll be ready for the emotional moments that matter most to them: their entrance, responses, Eucharist, private prayer afterward, and their Flowers to Mary devotion.
Engagement sessions included in every package
Kelly and Jason opted for an engagement session with me before their wedding day, which is something I include in all of my wedding photography packages. That session gives us time to get to know each other, figure out which poses feel natural for them, and practice being in front of the camera before there’s a church full of people watching. Many couples tell me those engagement photos become some of their most meaningful images because they’re created on a calm day that’s just about the two of them, rather than in the busy flow of the wedding.
Why St. Mary’s Littleton is great for couples like them
If you’re planning a Catholic wedding and want to keep everything in one place, St. Mary Catholic Parish in Littleton is a wonderful option. You can have a full Catholic Mass in the church and then move straight into a reception at Marian Hall or Ave Maria Hall without asking guests to drive anywhere else. For couples like Kelly and Jason, who value tradition, faith, and time with family and friends, that kind of all‑in‑one campus makes the day feel simple, sacred, and relaxed.
With a thoughtful timeline, we can highlight the parts of your day that matter most—your sacraments, prayers, family moments, and couple portraits—while keeping things easy for your guests.
