Now that the busy season is behind me and all client galleries have been delivered for 2016, I can finally shift my focus to sharing so much pretty with you guys! Starting off with one of my favorite weddings of the year!

There’s something just so dreamy about garden weddings. Maybe it’s being outside. Or maybe it’s a change in location from normally being in the city. Or maybe it’s all the beautiful flowers and plants everywhere. Whatever it is, I’m hooked! Kayla + Aaron‘s wedding at Elawa Farm is one that I had been looking forward to all year long! And babes, it didn’t disappoint.

From the intimate getting ready at the Renaissance to their emotional first look at the riverwalk, this wedding had be feeling all the feels! Not only was Kayla stunning in her Anne Barge dress, but she had the most gorgeous florals touching every piece of her day from Alison Buck Floral Design! Everywhere you turned, there were just beautiful details begging my camera to capture. Kayla wanted her wedding to be romantic and whimsical, which she knocked out of the ballpark! I am beyond honored to have been with them to capture their day <3 Now sit back, grab some coffee, and drool over those flowers!
