Sean & Kayli | Clore Bros. Outfitters, Fredericksburg, Virginia Wedding

I’m back from an amazing time at Pursuit 31 Conference in Georgia! I reallyyyyyy apologize for the LATE posting! I decided it was worth spending my time at the conference 100% there without touching my laptop so I can really absorb every moment of the day. I will be going more in depth from my experience at P31 Conference next week on the blog. 🙂

I departed for Sean and Kayli’s wedding Saturday morning energized! Energized by the amazing weather God blessed us with. Coming into their wedding day, I knew this day was going to be one to remember. I met them for the first time this year and fell more and more in love with them every time we got together. Seeing their fun personalities on the dance floor at Craig and Erica’s wedding definitely confirmed that fun energy I sensed from their engagement session which only means they were meant to have an entertaining wedding. 🙂 And of course they did! Kayli’s mom approached the microphone towards the end of the night to tell a couple embarrassing stories I cannot type out on the blog. Anyways, she ended her speech with a song from the past that Kayli and her danced to on the dance floor. I loved seeing their fun and close relationships with their family and friends. Not to mention, during Sean and Kayli’s first dance, the wedding party all photo bombed! What wonderful memories of a fun bunch!

Thank you Sean and Kayli for such a fun wedding to photograph! Not to mention a perfect Saturday weather. 🙂 CONGRATS!!! Love you both! Enjoy some of my favorites! xoxo
