Ahhh, Elisha & Kayla’s autumn wedding at Whispering Pines…

It’s hard to find two people who are THIS excited to get married!! From the moment we arrived at Whispering Pines of Carlisle, we could feel the joy buzzing through the air. One of the first things I noticed was that Kayla was calm and giddy all at once. She had that kind of contagious, can’t-stop-smiling happiness that makes everyone around her light up. Elisha couldn’t stop grinning either, hehe. After several years of waiting for this day, who could blame him?! :))

Everywhere I turned, there was someone laughing, hugging, or beaming with joy. It was the kind of emotion that reminds me why weddings are such a privilege to photograph. Elisha & Kayla’s bridal party was one of the most loyal, joy-filled groups I’ve seen! They were always cheering them on, helping with details, and keeping the energy high all day long.

From Elisha & Kayla’s sweet first look to the packed dance floor later that night, the entire day felt like one big “finally!” after years of waiting to call each other husband and wife. ❤️❤️❤️

Everything about Elisha & Kayla’s autumn wedding at Whispering Pines was such a joyful celebration. Nearly 300 of their closest friends and family filled the countryside venue with laughter, country charm, and the best kind of chaos. One of my favorite moments was when Kayla’s sister surprised everyone with a hilarious slideshow about “Steve,” Elisha’s beloved truck that’s basically their third wheel on every date. 😂 It had the whole room cracking up and perfectly summed up their fun-loving, down-to-earth personalities.

Elisha & Kayla’s autumn wedding at Whispering Pines was everything you hope a wedding will be: full of life, full of meaning, and full of moments that make your cheeks hurt from smiling. 😊☺️

Elisha and Kayla, thank you for letting me be part of your day!! Without a doubt, you guys share my favorite type of love to photograph – the type that is giddy about finally being ONE!! That really is a crazy awesome thing and totally worth celebrating.

*Cue the confetti*

Love you both!!
