Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life.

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

Kimi + Eric are two of the sweetest and most kind hearted people on the planet. They actually met and fell in love while both volunteering in the Peace Corps over in Kyrgyzstan. Listening to their stories is so incredible, the things that they’ve experienced all of their friends who served with them and came to the wedding had even more to share. Kyrgyzstan will always be a special place for them as their it’s where their love story starts so traditions and Kyrg items made there way into wedding details from the rug they stood on at their ceremony to the sign above their dessert table saying something along the lines of ‘Congratulations! You have found each other.’ I love details like these that have such incredible meaning to them.

The morning of their wedding at 320 Guest Ranch, Eric sent over a gift for Kimi wrapped in a note. One of the sweetest notes I’ve ever seen from a groom. Kimi takes extra care when opening gifts, even keeping the wrapping paper if she can so he knew she wouldn’t rip it open and he took it as the perfect opportunity to wrap her personalized photo necklace in an amazing 3 page love letter to her. Sometimes you guys I just have to tear up with these people cause these moments are just so heartfelt.

Seeing her at their first look literally left Eric speechless. How amazing is that?! He was just so in awe of her. And so sweet and gentle with her even when I told him to sneak attack her her softly and sweetly sneaked in and embraced her. And Kimi has the best smile and laugh OF ALL TIME! Staring at their photos and talking with her sisters we all are just jealous of her laughing face. Trust me when you scroll down you’re gonna be freaking jealous too! She’s so beautiful and her dress on her was just STUNNING!!!!! Can’t get over it. This wedding, these two, I can’t get over them. So freaking amazing. I had a hard time not just blogging every single photo!!!

Kimi + Eric, THANK YOU! Witnessing your love was a gift in itself. Thank you for such an amazing opportunity to preserve the memories of that day for you!!!

XOXO, J.
