Happy first anniversary to Katie and Kyle!
I’m sitting here today editing wedding photos for Kyle’s sister, Kennedy, and her new husband Matt who were just married a few weeks ago! I thought it would be fun to take a quick trip down memory lane to last year 🙂
It was a sunny August day at Lingrow Farm and all of the flowers were in bloom. The girls were getting ready in the air conditioning in the historic farmhouse on the property. After years of long distance relationship in separate states (Kyle’s job was far away), the day had finally come that there would be no more “goodbye for now’s” for the two of them.
Happily ever after started right here.
Kyle had a great crew of guys – both of his brothers and a group of old friends. While the girls sat in the make up chair, the guys DID ALL THE DECORATING themselves. Centerpieces, favors, candles, they took care of everything and it looked perfect. After a job well done, Kyle’s Dad helped the guys get their suits on so we could get some photos early before the ceremony.
Katie’s dress was really fun to photograph with all of the window light shining through the soft layers.
She practiced her vows one more time before stepping into it.
All of the girls waited downstairs while Katie’s sister laced her into her dress, then she stepped out and their reaction was priceless!
Katie and Kyle did a great job planning lots of time for photos into their wedding day. With all of the guys, girls, and family ready a few hours before the ceremony, we were able get all of the groomsmen photos, a first look with Katie’s Dad, and some family photos done so they could spend more time just enjoying the party together later!
Kyle did NOT get to see Katie before the ceremony, but she did sneak up behind him for some fun photos.
One of my favorite moments at every wedding ceremony.
Katie’s nieces stole the show as the most adorable flower girls in tutu’s I’ve ever seen.
As their ceremony ended, dark blue storm clouds rolled in bringing rain with them. We took advantage of the beautiful sky for portraits.
For the reception, they put childhood photos on the back of their chairs and used some of the photos from their engagement session to decorate the barn. Every guest got a s’more as their favor to make on the fire. They even personalized their cake with a penn state nittany lion cake topper.
Kyle’s brothers pulled off an awesome rap toast to their brother and his new wife.
They didn’t let the rain stop them from enjoying fireworks at the end of the night!
It was a beautiful day 😀 Happy anniversary, hope you are enjoying NYC! 😀
