I walked in Friday afternoon into Hotel Monaco and was already excited for the day once I saw the details in Kaitlin’s goodie bag! Glittery shoes … a GORGEOUS gown … perfect floral purple arrangement … I knew that this was going to be a great start to a beautiful wedding day! It was not too long ago I met Brad and Kaitlin at Starbucks, before establishing my office space, and immediately we hit it off! These two are so down to earth and love to smile and laugh. 🙂 I knew once they started describing their big day that it was going to be a special one! Not just for them, but for their family. When photographing this wedding it really hit home to me how much these photos really MEAN. It’s holding on to that split of a second moment. The emotions … the memories … I was watching Brad and his mom dance to their mother/son dance and tears were falling all around the room. There was that chance that his mom was not able to celebrate with them on their special day. But with many prayers and her strength, she made it and made the absolute best out of her son’s marriage. This is what photography is about. Holding on to their memories with their loved ones so they can have that forever. I am so honored to have been apart of their wedding day to capture these wonderful and beautiful memories!
CONGRATS Brad and Kaitlin!!!! I wish you two the absolute BEST and hope you are enjoying your honeymoon! 🙂 Enjoy the preview of your wedding day! xoxo

Reading her card from Brad … an hour before reading this, she was telling everyone that she is not much of a crier. Haha! Brad had a way with his words. 🙂 So cute!
Beautiful Kaitlin!

Yes … in less than an hour, they transformed the ceremony space into this! Crazy!
Brad and Kaitlin met in a History class so it was absolutely appropriate and creative to have each table named after a book they read in their History class! Love the idea!
SO obsessed with their cake!!! WOW!
Loved looking around the room to see their engagement photos EVERYWHERE! 🙂
Seriously … these two made me cry. Such a sweet moment!
Party time!
