Ryan and Kaitlyn | Oconomowoc Community Center Wedding

Ryan and Kaitlyn’s wedding day made me believe in the lovely things in life again. In Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, on a sunny July day, I stepped out of my car carrying a backpack full of gear not sure what I was about to walk into. Through the hallway and down the stairs, I was greeted by Marcail, one of Kaitlyn’s bridesmaids. Not long after, one by one, the wedding party started to arrive.
”I’m just so happy” Kaitlyn said as she started to cry. As the day unfolded, this was a theme.
Happy people everywhere. I found myself smiling as I looked at these images.

My job is easy, I photograph the pretty things and beautiful moments.
Everyone is ready, I have my carefully crafted photography timeline, and the day unfolds.

Here are some of my favorite moments.

Ryan and Kaitlyn,
I’ll probably be telling everyone about your wedding day for years to come. It was incredibly sweet, beautiful, and pure. The kind of day that I’d want to photograph again and again. And again.
Thanks for having me :).
Much love,
Carley

Ryan and Kaitlyn exchanged letters. A sweet lady named Paige pointed out this doorway for the following set of photos. Thanks, Paige.

This is where the anticipation sets in. As guests arrive, I document the expressions and moments that happen before the ceremony starts.
