This Linganore Winecellars wedding was a dream come true for Kellie and Jeff. These two have such a beautiful relationship together, and I’m so excited to be sharing their day with you.
The Engagement
Because Kellie and Jeff live in Montana, I didn’t meet them in person until just a few days before the wedding. We got to spend some time at the Irvine Nature Center getting to know one another before their big day. It also gave me an opportunity to meet their beautiful daughter, Kayleigh. I’m so glad I got to capture them being their adorable, happy selves in a more natural setting.
The Couple
Kellie and Jeff first met at their friends’ New Years Eve party. It wasn’t love at first sight. These two needed some time to grow on each other, starting out as acquaintances who only jokingly called each other “best friends.” They set the kidding aside as their friendship grew over time until one day Kellie finally asked Jeff on a date. The way Kellie and Jeff get along, you’d never know their connection wasn’t instant. I love how their relationship developed over time and turned into something caring and special.
When Jeff proposed to Kellie, it was already a day they had marked on their calendars. It was Jeff’s birthday, and he suggested finally taking the hike they’d been talking about for weeks as a way to celebrate. It was the first trail they’d ever hiked in Montana, and they did it in zero-degree weather with their daughter, Kayleigh, in tow. Tramping through the snow all the way, they finally made it to the waterfall at the turnaround point, their signal it was time to start heading back. It was while they were pausing one last time to take in the beautiful scenery before turning back that Jeff got down on one knee and asked Kellie to marry him.
The Wedding
Kellie and Jeff are just super cute and fun together. Kellie was beaming with smiles all day, and their daughter Kayleigh made for an absolutely adorable addition to the festivities. She has some of the best expressions! Kellie and Jeff are really into Disney, and it was a recurring theme throughout the day. Their gifts to each other were Disney-related, and some characters made an appearance on their cake topper. Jeff even signed his letter to Kellie, “Your Prince Charming”–how cute is that? On top of it all, we caught a killer sunset. Everything together made for the perfect fairytale day for Kellie and Jeff, and I’m so happy I got to be part of it. It was hard to narrow down to just a few, but here are some of my favorites:
