Family, school, wedding, work.. so much going on in their lives… they kept it together for EACH OTHER. No amount of rain or sleet was going to put a damper on their joyous occasion. They kept it calm, ignoring what’s going on outside. It’s like they KNOW, the sun will shine later. And it did : )

Vanessa’s sweetheart bodice ball gown ‘carefully’ hung in the hallway. Delicate beading with lace cap sleeves.

Vanessa found a pair of gold and pearl earrings to go with her David’s Bridal wedding dress.

Yes.. color! Vanessa’s a modern bride. She KNOWS what she wants!

A princess cut diamond ring fit for a ‘princess’.

A perfect pair. Can’t go wrong with some sparkle!

Special THANKS to Jamie for Vanessa’s ‘Old Hollywood’ look. Simply gorgeous!

It’s that time..

Some of my favorites… timeless.

Classic

All ready.. waiting to leave for their FIRST LOOK.

Love the mixed flower bouquets by Tracy at Flowers by Olivia. They never disappoint!

A little help from Kyle’s dad, Steve. He is so proud : )

Waiting to see his BRIDE. Yes, LOVE THEM for doing a First Look! My couples agree on having ample amount of TIME for portraits. And have THEIR moment together. Kyle is a little chilly here.. but he’s cool!

Excitement!

Finally ; )

After a few moments, we went to a nearby downtown park. THANK goodness for neat little nooks like this.

Their joy, Nehemiah.. looking up to his Mom.

Love an amazingly beautiful bridal party!

Vanessa & Kyle went with an autumn theme throughout the wedding. Here, a yummy cake (by Rae Ann Barnett) with leaf motives.

AND yes, Buckhorn Lodge is still surrounded by beautiful golden and red foliage.

We snuck out for a few more portraits while the sun was setting. So glad we did!

Making time for just the TWO of them : )

So much more…. Click HERE for more images of Vanessa & Kyle.

.. of shiver in their eyes. It’s been a long time.. planning, deciding, good days, bad days… but it (the brutal weather) wasn’t going to mess with Vanessa & Kyle’s day. Where was the SUN.. as the forecastors have promised? More accurately, WHY are there so many clouds on this joyous day?

We made it through and all my love to this gorgeous young couple for braving the cold with me… here’s a sneak peek : ))

Again, congratulations and THANK YOU : )
