Christopher and Kayla are some of the sweetest and most humble people you will meet. You would not be aware that between them they are extremely smart and successful in their professional fields. They are joyful, peaceful and kind. The things that are most important to them: their faith, family, helping others and deep friendships are the things that brought them together and when these things are at the core of a relationship, it’s hard to imagine that their union will be anything but beautiful. One of my favorite things about their wedding day (besides being so happy for them both) was hearing their priest talk about them during the homily and their friends talk about them during the toasts. What came through were the things that I already mentioned in such a sincere way that anyone listening couldn’t doubt that it is true! This is truly a special couple!
I was so honored to be part of their wedding day. It was an absolutely perfect summer day – not too hot or humid, no rain, light breezes, flowers in the height of bloom, butterflies flittering by on the breeze…. They were married in the beautiful St. Wenceslaus Church in Baltimore followed by a lovely al fresco reception at Belmont Manor. I overheard a guest comment that it was like being on a Jane Austen set and I totally agree. It was so romantic and idyllic! Looking back over these photos brings it all back – God truly blessed them with the perfect day.
Being with friends and family were a huge priority for Kayla and Chris and they enjoyed most of the cocktail hour (which included delightful custom popsicles) with everyone. Their beautiful choreographed First Dance, the meaningful gift Kayla gave Chris of the rosary beads she used while she was praying for her future husband, the cake cutting with Chris’ sword, the heartfelt toasts by the best man and maid of honor…these were just a few of the special moments throughout the day.
Chris and Kayla, God has clearly brought you together and your love for Him and others will be a beautiful tie that binds you together as you continue in life as husband and wife. Thank you for allowing me to witness this lovely moment in your lives! XO
