I met Kaelei & Brandon at a bridal show and then we got together to create their engagement photos. I knew right away that they had an amazing kind of love. Kaelei is such a sweet, loving soul with one of the biggest hearts I've ever met. Brandon is goofy, kind and the perfect fit for Kaelei. I knew their wedding would pull at my heart strings and it certainly did in a big way. There were lots of laughter, tears of joy, emotion and some pretty awesome and funny moments all mixed in. Here are some of my favorite moments from their day.

We started with the girls getting ready in the salon right there at Timber Line Barn.
I love this image of Kaelei with her tooth brush still in her mouth because it is so raw and so real. It will most likely go into my portfolio :)
I couldn't help but burst into laughter with the girls when Kaelei brought out her 'boobs in a box'. We were all laughing like school girls as the joked and pocked at the jelly inserts.
Completely dressed and ready to go see her father before he walked her down the isle. When Kaelei tapped on her fathers shoulder he responded "who's there" and then, as they held their tears back, joked that there would be no ugly crying today.
We tucked the girls away to bring Brandon and his Groomsmen out for a few portraits. When one of the groomsmen started talking on his phone, the other guys were hollering for him to hang up. He turned and said "It's the police, I accidentally called them". It turns out, he had pocked dialed the police at the last wedding.
Kaelei is very close to her Grandmothers and asked them to be her flower girls. They enjoyed every minute of it as the danced around down the isle and tossing their flowers.
