Kayla and Michael’s Catholic wedding was a day filled with immense joy, love, and intentionality from the sweet couple and their 26-member wedding party. With perfect weather and golden sunshine, this warm fall day was nothing short of magical.

The Morning Preparations: The day began with Kayla and her bridesmaids sharing intimate moments of laughter during their time getting ready at Kayla’s parents house. As their time getting ready came to an end, Kayla spent alone time with her mom while she got in her dress. After she was totally ready, she shared a first look with her bridal party.

Emotional First Touch: Before the ceremony, Kayla and Michael shared a touching first touch moment. They stood next to each other and exchanged personal letters and gifts. This heartwarming exchange was a reminder of the deep connection and love they shared – along with the preparation they took to make sure their day was perfect. It was a moment of emotion and anticipation that set the tone for the rest of the day.

The Traditional Ceremony: The Catholic wedding ceremony took place in the beautiful St. Augustine Catholic Church, where the bride walked down the aisle in a stunning gown, covered by her veil. The ceremony was steeped in tradition, with every detail thoughtfully planned. The couple’s faith was at the forefront, and their vows were a testament to their deep love and commitment to one another.

Saturday was full of perfect weather and abundant golden sunshine. The warm fall breeze carried the sweet scent of autumn, setting the scene for an idyllic outdoor photoshoot.
