There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and a cool breeze rustled through the trees as Katelyn made her way down the aisle with her dad who was beaming with pride. There was a glow around her as she gazed at Michael and a smile crept across her lips. They had seen each other for the first time a few hours earlier, and while that moment was special between just the two of them, you could still feel the excitement and nervous energy as they were about to become husband and wife.
Katelyn and Michael shared their own vows in a tropical paradise, surrounded by their closest family and friends. No detail was overlooked and everything turned out beautifully. Kate often puts others before herself and her wedding day was no different. Her dress was a previously worn dress from Brides Against Breast Cancer where the proceeds went toward breast cancer research. The guests were given their table numbers with a handwritten thank you note attached and she had flip flops by the dance floor for their tired feet. Throughout the whole night, Kate and Mike made sure to mingle with all of their guests and see that they were comfortable and having a good time. I am so happy for them as they embark on this journey. I know God has a lot in store for them and I pray that He continues to bless them.
A huge shout out to Stephanie of Sonju Photography for coming out to second shoot with me.
Venue: Bamboo Gallery in Davie, FL
Katelyn’s sister, Erin, is a super talented make-up and hairstylist and styled Kate’s hair into perfection.
Katelyn read God’s word to calm her nerves and the passage for her wedding couldn’t have been more perfect. God was definitely present that day.
I love Katelyn’s dad and brother’s reaction to seeing her in her dress for the first time.
Thanks to Stephanie for capturing these awesome shots of Michael getting ready with his dad.
The Bamboo Gallery had so many beautiful backdrops for photos. I especially loved this bridge to incorporate into their first look.
I mean seriously, how gorgeous are these two?!
Now let’s talk about the details…..swoon!!
I’m pretty sure they had the most adorable flower girls and ring bearers too.
I love the sheer joy on their faces after they are pronounced husband and wife!
Their reception was definitely a blast and full of surprises. Katelyn and Michael surprised their guests with a choreographed dance that started off slow and sweet and ended up getting the party started! I love that they chose to do La Hora Loca too. It makes for some fun photos!
