Kaylea + Holdens Graceland Inn Wedding in Elkins, WV | West Virginia Wedding Photographer

Some love stories start online… Some start at a bar… Kaylea + Holdens? It started at work thanks to Holdens mom, who happens to be Kayleas coworker and kept telling her she had to meet her son Holden! (We love a good matchmaker moment!) She finally agreed – they went on a date and the rest is history!

These two are hands down are one of the most in-love and genuinely happiest couples I have ever photographed and that says a lot. Their joy wasnt forced. It wasnt posed. It just radiated. Every look, every laugh, every quiet in-between moment felt effortless and real. Truly, I dont think Ive photographed two people who smiled more on their wedding day. They were soaking in every second. That kind of happiness is contagious and it made documenting their day an absolute dream. Kaylea didnt just wear a beautiful gown. She wore her moms wedding dress. And not only that she wore her moms wedding shoes too. How cool is that?!

Alsooooo can we just talk about the WEATHER?! The weather showed OFF. It was one of those perfectly golden West Virginia days that photographers (hi ) dream of. Blue skies, soft light, and the prettiest mountain backdrop you could imagine <3
