There were so many memorable moments throughout this wedding day, but I will never forget the fun events!
Kiersten and Alex’s Wedding was one of the most enjoyable I have been a part of. From the arrival to the last dance of the night, we laughed and giggled the entire day.
Upon arrival, it began to rain, then the lightning followed, and the thunder. I kept peeking to see if any panic had set in on Kiersten, but she was handling the weather relatively well! Luckily, it wasn’t long, and the storm had passed. So there was just enough time to have the ceremony under the tree, just as Kiersten had hoped.
Kiersten and Alex chose to have the ceremony under the most beautiful tree nestled right in the middle of the property. The location and the lighting were just beautiful! We even got lucky enough to have a peek of sunshine during the wedding ceremony.
The ceremony was so special. Alex couldn’t wait to get his hands on Kiersten from the moment he saw her! There was even a moment during the ceremony; he almost kissed her before it was time!  The minister had to step in and stop him; it was so sweet!
The entire day was filled with so much happiness and love.
I am so thankful I got to know Kiersten throughout the wedding planning process; I felt like I was taking photos of a friend on her wedding day. These moments are special to my brides, but they are special to be me too. I wish these two years of happiness<3
