I have known Kayla for quite some time and she is just an absolute sweetheart! We go back waaay before I even had “wedding photographer” on my radar!! When she reached out to me about possibly being her photographer for HER wedding day (already over two years ago!!) I was SO excited!! For as long as I’ve known her pretty much, I always knew about Brandon and that they’ve been together for a while! We got together over coffee, talked about the wedding details and made them officially one of my #MeganGogginsCouples ! ANNNND, to make it even more exciting, we were going to have the same wedding anniversary date! SO fun to be able to share that with these two!
October 5th finally arrived! After a much anticipated two years for these two, it was finally here!! They held their wedding celebration at The Lighthouse in Cedar Lake, Indiana and it was the PERFECT setting for their nautical themed day! One of my favorite details, the bridesmaids navy sequin dresses! OH MY GOSH! They were STUNN.ING! Just wait till you see them! I am such a huge sequin dress lover, I even had champagne gold sequins for my own bridesmaids on my wedding day! There were anchors, boats, and tons of water elements to go along with the details of the venue! The weather was gloomy and foggy, which also felt very fitting and luckily, the rain held off just enough for us to get their bride and groom portraits done!
One think that I will always remember about this day, the fact that whatever was going on, Kayla was laughing, smiling and just BEAMING with joy! She was just SO excited to finally marry her best friend after so long, and it made me and everyone around her so happy to see her so happy! Kayla and Brandon, you both were SO much fun to work with and it was an honor to be your wedding photographer after knowing you both for so long! I hope you love your highlight blog post just as much as I do! Your wedding day will always hold a special place in my heart! :)
Seeing these two together again was SUCH a treat! I photographed Katie and Zach’s wedding last September and I couldn’t go the night without snapping a few photos for them! :) Love you both!!
^ Steve and Alicia, you guys are NEXT!! :) Can’t wait for your wedding next July! You’ll get to trade your groomsman uniform in for your GROOM attire! YAY!
Oh my gosh, what an incredible day this was! I had an absolute blast with all of your friends and family and I am so grateful I was chosen to capture your wedding day for you! Kayla and Brandon, thank you both for EVERYTHING!! Here’s to forever celebrating our wedding anniversary’s together on the same day!! :)
