Grace and Chris-Kim squared- married | Catamaran resort

Posted in Weddings

I knew that this wedding was going to be amazing. Not just because of all the amazing details, but because of the amazing couple. I have had the pleasure of knowing Grace for about a year now and Chris for a few months. I feel like I have known them forever. They are just the type of people you love to be around and that can brighten up your day. You may remember their fun engagement session at the fair. If you would like to see those you can see the images HERE . One fun fact is that both of their last names are Kim, hence Kim squared :) When Jena and I arrived at the Catamaran, Gracie was as calm as can be. There was happiness and excitement in the room, not a sign of stress. I love that! Needless to say the entire day was wonderful. Everything was perfect thanks to Melanie. Family and friends enjoyed spending the day with Grace and Chris. I am honored that I was among them to witness such a beautiful day. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

 

Venue: Catamaran resort

Coordination: Something Blue Weddings

DJ: DJ Phreek

Cupcakes: The French Gourmet

Florist: Tessilk Flowers

After Gracie put her dress on she looked in the mirror. This is her seeing herself with her dress on for the first time :)

Grace and Chris opted to do a first look. I LOVE when couples choose to do this! I love Chris’ reaction to his bride
