A Late Summer Wedding

From the first time I met with Kayla and Andrew back in 2012, I KNEW we were on the path of several amazingly fun days! Kayla knew exactly what she wanted out of her wedding (as many girls do!), and I was fortunate enough to be on the sidelines as every tiny detail fell perfectly into place. 

We began with a snowy engagement session this past winter. Engagement sessions might just be one of my favorite things to shoot. Not only do they help me get to know my bride and groom, but you can see SO much passion in a newly engaged couple's eyes. 

I then did an awesome session with Kayla and a few of her closest friends. SO much laughter and encouragement the entire time. Truly an inspiring group of young women. Oh, and one of these fabulous ladies is on the MHP Wedding calendar for 2014!!! 

Having watched all of these pieces of the puzzle come together, I couldn't hardly wait to see it all play out. 

Breathtaking.

 

 I was busy getting a few shots of the father of the bride when I turned around and saw this: All the groomsmen huddled around an iPhone watching a YouTube tutorial on "How to tie a tie"!

Kayla and Andrew chose to have a "First Glance" set up so that we could do the majority of the pictures before the ceremony. SO happy we did this! I've never seen a more nervous groom on his wedding day, and I think this was EXACTLY what he needed!! 

 

 

And then it was time to get married :)

 

Congratulations Kayla and Andrew! 

Thank you so much for asking me to be a part of your day!

I follow all of my brides on Pinterest...

The first time I met with Amanda and Caleb, I knew their wedding day would be nothing but beautiful. Amanda had very specific plans, and she knew exactly what she wanted!! I followed her on Pinterest (If you are pinning, I'm following), watching all of the specifics come together. It really is amazing to see what my brides put in to their special day. It's not just a dress and a place to wed. It's the shoes, the colors, the flowers, the rings, the decorations, and all of those tiny details that create a personalized experience.

Her dress was absolutely STUNNING, with ruffles galore!

 

Yep. That's her fingerprint on his wedding band. Love.

Nothing but smiles from this groom and his guys!

The groom's brother took a few moments before the ceremony began to play an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. piece on the piano.

I love it when a couple smiles and laughs through their entire ceremony!

I LOVE her fabulous summer colors!

 Congratulations Amanda and Caleb!
