Interwoven Hearts: Brad & Kayla

August 6, 2013

But we could build a good thing here too so give it just a little time.
Share bread and wine, Weave your heart into mine ~ Josh Garrels

Quiet anticipation filled their faces as they both got ready surrounded by family and their closest friends. Kayla giggled and smiled, and there were moments of happy tears too, as her mom arranged the veil she had worn years ago on her about-to-be-married daughter, and as Kayla took in her reflection in the mirror. I don’t know if it hits all at once or if there are just several moments that bring about the realization, but the “I’m getting married .. TODAY!” feeling that a bride and groom experiences on their day is one of the best things I love about weddings. And for Brad and Kayla, that wonder and joy was felt from their getting ready moments to their exuberant exit. Without a doubt, these two were so happy to be marrying each other, and we hope their contagious joy brings a smile to your face too. :)

This sweet little guy made everyone smile when he shyly walked down the aisle, and then quickly ran out when he got to the end! And Loren Kate is such a precious flower girl. We loved her pretty tulle dress.
