Katie & Kevin | Stevenson Ridge Wedding

On Saturday, April 28th, Kevin married his highschool sweetheart, Katie. It was perfect. When I met Katie during her initial consult, we talked a little bit about the wedding and a lot about Kevin.  She told me how they met in high school, how they went to college together and how they finally were getting married.  I knew they had originally planned a Disney wedding.  Kevin and Katie love, love Disney. So, when she switched to Spotsylvania, I was curious to know how the wedding would look.  It. Was. Amazing.  Katie had an awesome group of vendors and an incredible attention to detail. The day was just beautiful.  Their family and friends filled the Lodge with love and you could feel it.  There was nothing but smiles (and a few happy tears).  Katie’s dad pulled me aside during dinner and told me he had never seen anyone be as into my job as I was.  Mr. Erisman, you might not of known it, but you made my night.  And when you have amazing couples like Katie and Kevin, it’s so easy to get into my job.  Prepare yourself for an extremely long post… I had way too many favorites! Katie and Kevin, thank you for allowing me to capture your big day!

Kevin’s sisters served as Katie’s Maid of Honor and Bridesmaid. I adored their relationship.

Kevin and his groomsmen brought Katie and her bridesmaids a serious spread of sushi and beverages…of course without seeing her!

Surprise bridesmaids gifts!

A little touch of Disney…

Their first look! I’d say Kevin was pretty excited!

Portrait time! All taken before the ceremony.  A major benefit  of the First Look.

A favorite!

Katie! Seriously?! So, so pretty!

Another touch of Disney… Love this!

How cute is this little guy?!

Seeing her dad before the ceremony… so touching.

Married!

Fellow blog readers… the following 3 images are exactly why I cry at every single wedding.

Root beer float station!

Back story… Katie insisted no cake to the face (I’m on her side!)  Kevin, being the awesome guy he is 100% obliged.  But just to give the crowd what they wanted, he took a handful of cake to his own face. Pretty amazing.

Thank you again, Katie and Kevin!
