Country Wedding Fun - Kyle & Brandi

I have to say that having someone ask me to shoot their wedding is very special.  Yes, it is a business but I don't think you can look at your wedding as business.  When I shoot a wedding, I feel like they have allowed me to be a big part of their day.  We laugh together and sometimes cry together.  We have mishaps, wardrobe malfunctions, unpredictable guests, and more.  I'm not going to lie...shooting a wedding is stressful because you want to make sure you get every shot.  You don't want to miss a thing for your bride and groom.  Once you get past that stress, it is an incredibly rewarding shoot.

Yesterday, November 19th, I got to be a part of a country wedding.  One of the fun parts about this is the best friends in the wedding.  I've taken pictures of these girls for several years from when I was their teacher until now when they have gotten married and been in each other's weddings. 







I knew that I would get to see some creative stuff when they first asked me to shoot the wedding.  Kayla and Brandi didn't disappoint. 

The hand painted signs all around the wedding and reception added a wonderful rustic country flare.
 
I think my favorite thing was the Mason Jar Toasting Glasses .
But you also had to admire the Mason Jar Chandelier.
From the Smores station (complete with an outdoor fire pit) to the memory corner it was all so creative and memorable.

It was a beautiful, fun day and I wish Kyle and Brandi the very best. 
Thank you for letting me share in your special day!
