Shortly after connecting with Kayla about her wedding day more than a year ago, I ended up with an unexpected health problem that resulted in surgery and a lifetime lift restriction of 10 pounds.
I had no clue at the time that this would be the very last wedding of my career. 
That being said, I couldn’t have asked for a better day…
Or couple! As I close this chapter in my life they are beginning a new one together in theirs. A beautiful, beautiful thing.
We first crossed paths two years ago, when Allen and Kayla were in another wedding I photographed. I remembered them clearly because of this particular moment:
When Kayla surprised Allen with a glass-clinking kiss. 
They began dating in high school and have been together for seven years.
Sharing life, making memories, and deepening roots.
And despite the bee stings obstacles faced that day, joy overflowed as friends and family came together to celebrate their love.
Here’s a glimpse at how this very special day unfolded:
Congratulations, Allen and Kayla!!!
