These sweet babes have waited quite some time for this big day! With all of the postponements last year Kayla and Connor were not spared. But everyone showed up ready to celebrate with them!
They were able to utilize the many talents of their family to make the wedding a success, their mothers helped with all the planning, her cousin was the officiant, his aunt baked the cake, her mom made all the toffee favors and of course she wore several beautiful legacy items as well. She wore her great grandmother's pearls, as well as a garter made from Grandmother's wedding dress. It’s so beautiful when couples can tie in their families legacies and traditions.
Their sweet pup Georgia was especially happy for them (and the fact that she got lots of extra attention). She did so great during the ceremony and portraits.
I have been dying to shoot at Sky Retreat! Just look at this view… I was not disappointed. And did you know they also offer hang gliding lessons!! I am SO there as soon as season slows down!
Oh my goodness, if anyone stole the show this weekend besides the happy couple, it was definitely Kayla’s Grandpa! He carried around a photo of his late bride and was filled with emotion all day…which of course got everyone else teary-eyed as well. He and Kayla have such a good relationship though, they also shared a special dance.
Sky Retreat is beautiful in any light, and I’m so happy I got to witness them all! You guys thank you so much for including me in your big day!
