kayla & dakota | the wedding

Here are some high school sweethearts whose love continues to grow with time.  It’s neat to see young loves choose to grow old together.  Kayla and Dakota were so relaxed on their wedding day, and were very open to me parading them around for photos – despite the probably-100+ degree heat…  I so appreciated that!  I was happy, too, to work with Sarah Shah on this wedding!

I wanted to start with some beautifully incorporated color:

I adore this ring shot that Sarah took!

I had to put this next one in.  This is the bridesmaids shuffling through Kayla’s layers to pull out the little black bugs that were trying to hide in her dress.  I don’t know what it is about layered dress, but I’ve seen bugs crawl up many a bride’s dress!

Okay, so they were laid-back…and SO ADVENTUROUS!  Their reception was at the Mid-America All-Indian Center, and we had planned to go through the “backyard” to get to the Keeper for photos.  Well, the gate was locked.  What’s a bride, groom and photographer to do when their photo plans have been impeded?  Where there’s a will, there’s a way…

Thanks for being so brave, K&D!  The shots we got during that time are some of my very favorites!

The classic, well-made cake from Cheri’s Bakery:

A sweet moment Sarah caught:

Kayla’s sister gave a toast, and it was seriously one of the best ones I’ve ever heard.  Well done, Hannah!

Sarah took these next two shots of the first dance:

The whole wedding party was fantastic.  I loved working with them!

Congratulations, Kayla & Dakota!
