“Thanks Analisa!!!!! They are wonderful, just like you!”- Kiley

I didn’t know what to expect for David and Kiley’s wedding because I didn’t meet this lovely couple until their actual wedding day. Kiley was the easiest bride to work with prior to her wedding so it was no surprise that when I arrived to meet her in person that she was the sweetest bride to photograph. The more time I spent with Kiley I realized that she was my perfect bride.  We became the perfect match for one another when we discovered that we share the same love for something that is very important in both of our lives… Coca-Cola. It is an addiction that I am proud to say that we both possess and I loved that she was drinking out of an old coke bottle throughout the entire getting ready process. That’s my girl!!  I also loved that while Kiley was getting all beautified that she still found time to be goofy with her bridesmaids. With their hair all curled and makeup applied these girls loved attempting to make their signature “ugly faces.” By the end of the day they had the entire bridal party contorting their faces. This was one of many reasons why I enjoyed photographing this hilarious group because they were all so fun and easy going. Everyone who attended this wedding was a true joy to be around and I loved capturing them all while they celebrated the beginning of a marriage with this amazing couple. When the ceremony began, those in the pews could not stop crying from start to finish as they watched David and Kiley tie the knot. At the reception, David and Kiley had American themed touches and served delicious burgers, fries, coca-cola (of course), and for dessert a do-it-yourself smore station. The groomsman and his fellow groomsmen got the party started by surprising the bride and all their guests with a choreographed performance to the famous song, YMCA. I have never seen so many people crowd a dance floor to jam out to YMCA, but there was no mistaking that this group was about to dance the night away. Throughout the entire night the dance floor was never empty and all the guests partied away until the sparkler finale. Their wedding day was such a blessing to be apart of and I learned that the trait I love most about this fun couple is their strong faith that they both share. They are goofy and carefree, but they are serious about impacting the world with God’s word. In only a few weeks they are heading out to China for missionary work and I know throughout their relationship they will continue to experience God’s purpose through their marriage. David and Kiley’s wedding was an absolute blast to be apart and I want to wish this happy couple a million more laughs and silliness all throughout their marriage. Congrats Kiley & David!

 They didn’t want to see each other prior to the ceremony, but we still found a way for them to wish the other good luck.
