I’ve been looking forward to this wedding since Katelyn emailed me so many months ago. We already had a Saturday wedding but I knew that we wanted to be a part of this day. Katelyn casually mentioned that they were planning a wedding while Keith was simultaneously fighting cancer. While Michael and I have never lived through a season exactly like theirs, I do remember watching Michael’s dad battle cancer while we were in college and it’s all consuming. I couldn’t believe how strong and determined these two were. Over the last several months Katelyn has kept me updated on their progress and let me tell you, not only is Keith’s strength incredible, his outlook and attitude is too!
Keith is one of those guys that jokes and acts like he’s not into the whole modeling thing but then is a pro at it immediately…. and then when I compliment their posing skills, he says it’s all because of how beautiful Katelyn is. :) He’s a good guy with a big heart and I know this because everyone that surrounded them on their wedding day had nothing but incredible things to say about Keith and the type of man that he is. This makes sense… because usually awesome guys marry awesome girls…. and Katelyn is definitely an awesome girl. :)
Katelyn is beautiful… there’s no denying that, but after getting to know her over the last few months, it’s easy to see why everyone loves her so much. She planned her wedding day to a “T” and it was perfect! From the temperature to the clouds that rolled in right when we needed them to in order to shoot in our favorite willow tree from their engagement session, we could’t have asked for anything more. Enjoy this gorgeous wedding day and don’t miss the “RING SECURITY”… they are beyond precious!!
Definitely a new favorite detail shot!
