Kaitlyn and Kevin

Silver Oaks Chateau

“’Katelyn, who is that boy staring at you?’ And she replied, ‘Dad, that’s Kevin Kennedy!’”

Not only was Katelyn and Kevin's wedding day absolutely beautiful at Silver Oaks Chateau but their story was told so perfectly throughout the ceremony and Katelyn’s father’s speech.

The two actually had the same Kindergarten class and then became high school sweethearts years later. They took time apart in college but then saw each other again at their younger sibling’s graduation. Katelyn told me, “he saw me from across the arena at the graduation and texted me to tell me I looked beautiful in my yellow dress and we were together ever since!”

Katelyn and Kevin’s day was full of love and you could totally see it between the two of them. We haven’t got to do too many first looks this year, so we were super excited to film theirs. And I have to say, it was my most favorite part! I loved Kevin’s reaction to seeing Katelyn for the first time.

Samantha and Kenny

Brookdale Farms Silo Point

“The love the have for each other, shows each and every day.”

You know me — I love a good love story. Samantha and Kenny’s wedding day truly told theirs and was the perfect celebration of their love. The two worked at the same school and with the help of the football coach, they met at a happy hour and ended up talking for a while. And what Samantha’s dad says, “the rest is history!”.

One thing they wanted their day to be about was family and bringing families together. And you could definitely feel that on their day, held at Brookdale Farms Silo Point. First off, both sides of the family made you feel so welcome and were so supportive of Samantha and Kenny! I absolutely loved that and when you have a supportive group of people on a wedding day, it is so much fun to film. You could tell they were so excited for the two! And then there was Samantha’s son, Weston, who did the cutest first look with his mom. I loved capturing the moments between him and his mom as well as Kenny. The two danced the night away after a heartfelt ceremony overlooking the Missouri hills. It was the perfect Fall wedding day and we even had just a little bit of Fall colors for it being so late in November.

Marilee and Brian

Silver Oaks Chateau

“Brian says that he fell in love with her during those times of conversing and learning about her. He could tell that she was selfless and cared deeply about people, and that was one of the first things about her that he fell in love with. Marilee recalls that, in a similar way, the more she learned about Brian the easier it was to fall in love with him.”

Held at Silver Oaks Chateau, the two finally got to say their “I do’s” after having to postpone their wedding. We started the day hanging out with the two and their wedding party at the Chalet. Everyone there was just all smiles and laughs. I don’t think I ever saw Marilee and her girls not laughing. And you could totally feel like the love from everyone, so excited to finally be able to celebrate Marilee and Brian.

After their ceremony, which told their love story so beautifully, we got footage of just the two of them down in the wooded area of Silver Oaks. It was seriously so beautiful! Especially with the sun peaking in. And then we went onto the reception, where we got to hear so many beautiful speeches. It truly was an amazing day!
