Mikayla, my sweet, sweet Mikayla. She is the epitome of bridal beauty, and one of my oldest friends. I have so many memories of us at daycare doing the silliest things like jumping on tables to take ticky tack off the ceiling when no one was watching, and making up dances during outside playtime. We had so much fun together, and got in so much trouble together too. (But even that was fun! We didn’t mind having to write “I will not take ticky tack off the ceiling.” over and over again until multiple pieces of notebook paper were full. As long as we were doing it together, we found something funny about it and were always chuckling and snickering.

Now she is all grown up and I am just so proud of who she is—proud to have had such an amazing friend to grow up with. She has found her most perfect match, and I just love them together so much! Their wedding day was so, so classic and timeless and full of so much love.

Enjoy some of my favorite portraits from their day! <3
