Best. Day. Ever. The best part about this wedding was that I got to meet Katie and Jared, whom I adore. This intimate ceremony and backyard reception was the best, I think every guest who attended is still talking about how amazing this day was. I can honestly say, I have never laughed so hard while documenting a wedding (Katie is a spicy lady), I felt like part of the family all day and I love the fun moments I can document when there is that comfort level. I appreciate a wedding that is totally centered around the couple and what they want. Also, a bride that wants photos with donkeys, goats, and all the furry things is up my alley! This day was pure fun and joy for all, one I will never forget. Congratulations Mr & Mrs Eiken, so happy to be apart of your first chapter. XOXO
