You might remember Collin and Kayla from their beautiful spring engagement session. On a warm July day, in the quaint town of Pomeroy, Washington these two said I do. And lucky me I was able to capture their day. I was looking forward to this wedding, it was back in my hometown and I knew there would be tons of wonderful places for pictures.
We started with Kayla getting ready. Her dress was beautiful it fit Kayla perfect!
We went out to the Pataha Flour Mills, in Pataha, Washington where they had their first glance. I love it when couples take time to see each other before. It gives them such a perfect quiet moment, and they have lots of time for pictures without being rushed.
Kayla and Collin are so sweet together!
We headed over to a beautiful wooded area and the light was gorgeous.
Collin and Kayla planned plenty of time for several different locations for pictures. I would suggest this to any couple. We had time to go to several locations and maximize the locations we used.
And we went into the Flour Mill. I love this shot.. a lot.
Collin wore a kilt. And Kayla had some killer shoes!
I love color!! And so Kayla’s bouquet was right up my alley.
Such a beautiful couple!
We went to the bar for some fun images. I loved how willing and ready they were for everything and the ideas that they had.
This is Main Street in Pomeroy, Washington. I love that we got everyone in the street. This shot makes me happy.
All of the groomsmen played football for the mighty Pomeroy Pirates.
The ceremony site was beautiful. It was so serene and the perfect place for an afternoon wedding.
I loved all of the details they had. I really loved the bagpiper.
There is nothing sweeter than a father walking his daughter down the aisle.
Collin and Kayla had a beautiful ceremony.
Collin’s family brought this firetruck up from California, way back when. It was their get away vehicle from the ceremony.
Kayla made these signs. And even better she gave them to me! I love them. Thanks Kayla, and I love how creative you are!
Their reception was beautiful.
Kayla and Collin’s wedding day was also Kayla’s sister, Vicki’s birthday. Vicki died in 2002, and this was a great way for Kayla to remember her sister. Her maid of honor gave a truly tear jerking toast. I don’t typically showcase the toast, but this was perfect. Watching Collin with Kayla made it even more clear these two are meant for one another. It was a very special and emotional moment.
Collin’s brothers gave wonderful toasts as well. They were full of life and love and it was great to hear their sweet words.
And finally they had their first dance.
Collin and Kayla, your day was truly wonderful. It was a day to be remembered with laughter, tears, and special moments. I am grateful that I was there to capture your day. And special thanks to Sonja Yearsley for spending the day with me second shooting!
