This Wedding….. I don’t even know where to begin! When I say it was stunning, I mean it. It was magazine-worthy in every facet.
I had the pleasure to get to know Kendall and Dustin over the past few years and it has been an absolute joy! They are some of my favorites to shoot.
I remember I was shooting Kendalls cousin’s wedding when she told me that they had set a wedding date. Although the date was a year away she already had so many plans in motion. She had a vision and she knew what she wanted. The thoughtfulness Brides put into their weddings can take the wedding photos from pretty to amazing!
Every little detail of the wedding was beautiful. Her dress, I could talk about all day; was insanely beautiful. Her venue, also gorgeous. You take a beautiful couple with a pretty venue and its the recipe for magic.
Kendall is one of those women who cannot take a bad photo! { and yes I can prove that statement! } I included some fun outtakes from the wedding and literally even though Kendall isn’t preparing for the photos they are still fun and BEAUTIFUL! She truly has a heart of gold, you can see it in all her happy tears. She loves boundlessly and cares with every particle of her being.
My favorite part of the wedding was the private vowels she and Dustin shared. They both shed tears of pure love and happiness. Dustin spoke of her so eloquently, it took everything in me not to cry myself.
Dustin had so many funny one-liners throughout the day. My favorite was what he said as Kendall walked down the aisle. He looked to his best man, as he wipes tears from his eyes, he said, “man I thought I was marrying a ten and she is an ELEVEN!”
As the day progressed, it literally went seamlessly. The entire day was full of love, happiness, and the celebration of two amazing people. This wedding will go down in the books as one of my absolute favorites.
