Getting Ready
Mary and Kyle got ready in some of their family members’ homes close to their house. Mary got ready with her bridesmaids in a beautiful room with lots of natural lighting. Kyle got ready with his groomsmen where they had fun relaxing and playing basketball and pool before the ceremony!

The Ceremony
They had the ceremony at their home which has a lot of surrounding land. They set up chairs in their backyard and had a simple grassy aisle lined with flowers. The flowers, bridesmaid dresses, and decor were giving all the garden party vibes! It was a gorgeous day for a wedding ceremony and the couple was so happy to celebrate with their friends and family!

The Reception
Their reception area was set up with some string lights, a cocktail area, a dessert bar which had so many different desserts, and also a local, specialty ice cream bar! To further everyone’s delight, their reception seating chart was a big wall that had popcorn with everyone’s names on it. The popcorn was such a super fun idea. My popcorn bag was a combo of popcorn and Lucky Charms cereal which sounds like an unconventional pairing, but now I can’t enjoy popcorn any other way! This wedding had all the yummy and unique treats.

The After Party
Mary and Kyle had a mechanical bull set up for a surprise activity for their guests. The bride and groom did, in fact, ride the bull that night and it was awesome! The photos are amazing! Their grand exit was a super fun moment where they climbed in a bright blue, antique car and headed for their honeymoon. It was an honor to capture Mary and Kyle’s special day!
