I didn't come to be photographing Kevin & Daryan's wedding by the usual process. I had known Daryan's Dad & Step-mom for a number of years. I met Daryan's Dad for the first time when I placed an ad to sell a mini-fridge I no longer needed. Through that and other life circumstances I would come to be in their lives for years to come. I was honored when they reached out to hire me for Daryan's wedding. They are such a truly wonderful family.
Daryan chose such a gorgeous color palette. I love all the warm tones and neutrals.

The exquisite florals were done by the insanely talented Heather Hayden who also owns Loveland Estates.

The ceremony wouldn't have been complete without Slink, Daryan and Kevin's sweet pup.

Kevin was very emotional watching his beautiful bride walk down the aisle.

Aren't these snack cups amazing?! I had one and they tasted as good as they looked.
