Wedding - Kevin & Cari

 

Kevin and Cari were high school sweethearts. They were married in the backyard of the house Kevin grew up in. The Ceremony was officiated by a friend they went to school with and Cari’s siblings were a part of the Bridal Party. Their ceremony was emotional; lots of tears shed and tissues passed around.

I absolutely loved the whole homey, small town feel to their wedding. It was beautiful to witness their Best Day Ever.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. <3
