We knew right from the beginning that we would enjoy getting to know Dalton and Kristina. We knew it after our first meeting when Dalton threw himself at our moving car and yelled teasingly through the window - "Don't run over the groom! Then you don't get paid!" We knew it when Kristina let us know that they were bringing their puppy to the engagement session, and that he would be wearing a bowtie for the wedding. And we knew we had been right, as we stood at the reception the night of their wedding and listened to friends and family give testimony to Dalton and Kristina's love - both for the Lord and for one another.
Arriving on the wedding day, it was quickly obvious that Jett had things well at hand - getting all the girls to make the beds and tidy up the rooms. :)
Jett also made sure he got in on a few pictures with Kristina... :)
The afternoon was a flurry of activity - running down halls, hair and make up, hiding Kristina from Dalton, and passing Jett (secretly) from room to room.
We enjoyed having Weston, a friend and fellow photographer, side shoot with us on the wedding day. He got some great shots, including these of Dalton getting ready...
An excited crew escorted Kristina down to the car to meet Dalton for the first look!
Dalton seemed pretty pleased with his beautiful bride. :)
A literal army of friends and family came together to celebrate!
Noah, Jett, and Autumn seemed to really enjoy their 5 minutes of fame! :)
Kristina was definitely invested in the details. The handmade wooden boxes with a custom brand and the jars filled with colorful florals made for such special table pieces for guests to enjoy.
As you can see... this was the place to be! :)
Ending the night with a sing-along...
"...You’re here to be light,
bringing out the God-colors in the world..."
Matthew 5:14 [the Message]
Dalton and Kristina, thank you for allowing us to photograph your wedding day! We so enjoyed being a part of things!
Jill & Kay
P.S. Once again, a HUGE thanks to Weston! Not only did he photograph right along side us for the day, he also held lights, managed umbrellas, drove us around, helped Mom keep track of our gear... and always kept us laughing!
