Kate and Greg's wedding day went off without a hitch. Kate looked AH-mazing (Greg, you were hot too), the weather was beautiful, and they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by friends and family, at the home that Kate grew up in. This wedding was truly a labor of love; there were months of preparations involved to ensure the farm and grounds were ready to host a wedding.
I've been waiting a long time for their wedding day. When I first met Kate and Greg last year, I loved them immediately. I love how comfortable they are together, and how they look at one another, and how they are often the brunt of one another's jokes. I love how they believe in and support one another. I love the passion and intensity they share; in life, in love, in each other. Plus, I love that within hours of meeting them, they had christened me with a nickname that they've called me ever since: Kim-ographer. That just makes me smile. :)
I said their day was fabulous. Here's the proof:

Told you she was stunning. You know I love birdcagecage veils, and her
Paloma Blanca gown was perfect for her.

Beautiful site for the ceremony. Greg built the little pavilion they are standing on. I have to say also, I love, love, love guys wearing a khaki colored suit for an outdoor summer ceremony.

Portraits of the two of them were important to Kate and Greg, so they made sure to build plenty of time for them into the timeline of their day. These were right after the ceremony, and Kate was totally fearless and up for anything. I LOVE the results!

Love these next two

This has to be one of my favorite images from the day. This is immediately after Kate did a shot of Southern Comfort. :)

After the sun went down, there was a gorgeous full moon, so we took Kate and Greg out for a few portraits.

Kate and Greg. You rock. Congratulations. I'm so excited for you as you begin your new lives together. I hope you're having the time of your lives on your honeymoon, and that it only gets better from here.
