Tyler and CharlotteJune 1, 2013 White Ranch, Chico "It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight..." -Vladimir Nabokov Tyler and Charlotte have the kind of joy and love that lights up a room. We are so blessed to know them.
It was just a couple Tuesdays ago when I received a call from Ephraim and Lacey. I remembered exactly who they were: We had met at the Bridal Show last January (Kenny and Ephraim became instant friends). At the time, the two were unsure on their budget, so we waited. And when they called us on the week of their wedding, we were ecstatic. We moved a couple things around on our schedule, and we were set. And let's just say, we are SO glad it worked. Because we love these two. They are the kind of people that make you feel like friends. As if we had known each other for years. Ephraim is a firefighter and a surfer, which totally follows suit in his personality. Lacey is a details person, sweet and absolutely radiant on her wedding day. They are a perfect together.
The wedding day was warm, but not sure it could have been any better for these two. Thank you so much for inviting us into your celebration. You have the nicest of friends and family. You have style. You make us all laugh and most of all, you have a love for each other that inspires others. We are honored to know you both. Thank you, thank you.
Much Love, K and K

Lacey, you are absolutely gorgeous...
Ephraim, you rock!
Loved that everyone was at the Hotel Diamond, and that Kenny caught some of these moments before we headed to the White Ranch
The girls details were awesome
Loved these boys too...
The ceremony and reception were held at White Ranch Events here in Chico.
Their reactions upon seeing one another was amazing...
The details were DIY, and I think they looked amazing. Loved the thought and simplicity that went into the day.
Only a glimpse of the toasts, which always make us laugh and cry... at the same time...
We love working with Snapshots Photo Booth at weddings. Even though we are photographing the event, a photobooth lets people do their own thing and provides the most fun of memories.
Epraim and Lacey, you two are so great!
Lacey's Dad joked with us all day about breaking our camera, but I'd say quite the opposite based on this photo.
And this is just the beginning to a great dance party...
Life is unexpected. Sometimes it may seem like chaos and all we can do is hold on tight. For Karen, her life changed drastically three weeks ago when she learned that her fiance would be getting deployed, and very soon. This also meant JP would be gone for their already planned September wedding. It created a lot of change, and quickly.
As I talked to Karen over the next couple weeks, everything shifted. Rather than fight with everything in her, to hold on to a dream, she had the courage to accept this new season. This new dream.
And for that, she danced.
She put on her wedding shoes this past Saturday, and in the smallest of celebrations, yet most meaningful days of her life, she walked down the aisle to JP. She was stunning. And there was determination in her eyes. She could do this.
I am thankful for Karen and the example that she is. There will be more from their wedding ceremony held at the White Ranch in the coming weeks. And of course, I can't wait for the big celebration in the future. Thank you Karen and JP for being you. For taking this season of life and making it beautiful. Much Love, K and K
And after that quiet moment, the dancing began...
