Kitalou has been a favorite venue of mine since before they opened. I happen to know the owners and I had a tour early on. HELLO! I fell in love! Trevor and Aislinn chose this place for their wedding and I’m so happy they did. We had a BLAST at Kitlou! I want blog readers to know how hard it is to put into words what a tremendous job I have. Not only in making good pictures that can last a lifetime for couple’s. But in getting to know these people and placing them in your heart and then saying goodbye. I always feel attached and connected. I’m just that kind of person with my camera. I truly love my job and the folks that trust me to photograph their BIG DAY!

Okay, enough sappy talk. Let’s get to the details and the pretty pictures!

Love Does,
Kristin

what do you remember most about your day?

Just spending the most perfect day with all of the people that matter most to me. Especially Trevor Craig. I got to walk down the aisle and marry my best friend. I got to sit down and eat a delicious meal with the person I love to go eat with. I got to laugh and dance with the person who makes me laugh so hard I cry and can't breathe. We got to do all of those things while being surrounded by our family and friends which was so special to us. And now I get to remember ALL the things thanks to the lovely Kristin Bednarz who documented each and every moment perfectly.

awww…shucks.

Your ceremony in three words.

Euphoric. Ardor. Ours.

Our ceremony was everything I imagined it to be and then some. I had an elegant/rustic/Jane-Austen-esque scene in mind and that is exactly how it turned out. As I stepped through the door to walk down the aisle with my arm tucked around my dad's, I was just engulfed by a euphoric sense of how everything just came together. I saw all of the people that were there to celebrate us as I walked down the aisle and then my eyes landed on Trevor. Which brings me to my second word. The feeling of ardor was so intense as I walked down towards Trevor and realized that this is it. This is the day we get to get married. Which leads me to the last word. Ours. This word describes our day the best. Ours is exactly what it was. In my opinion, we are rather unique. We made this day ours in every way.

music?

Well we knew we were going to use a DJ. One of our friend's from college, DJ C-Los, is one of the best DJ's out there in my opinion so of course we were going to ask him. He helped me out when I wanted to kind of play a trick on Trev with our first dance. We already had a had time finding a song for our first dance. Luckily I head the song All Your'n by Tyler Childers and we knew that was the one. Before we found that song though we were struggling. Nothing seemed right.. One day the song Slow Burn came on in the pickup, and it is a song we both like. I suggested to Trev that we should just use that song as our first dance! He response was "Aislinn... you know that song is about a one night stand right...?" Needless to say we obviously found another song, but Carlos worked with me and helped me play a trick on Trev by playing the intro to Slow Burn before our actual first song. When it came on he just looked at me and said "You changed the song!?!" and started to laugh.

I feel like the two of you will be doing this kind of stuff to each other FOREVER. And I love it! Here’s that moment below. I love hearing the story behind it. Well played.

Any advice for future b + g's?

Plan and be organized as much as you as an individual need. Everyone says to not sweat the small stuff, but if being prepared and having all of the little details planned is what makes you feel better, then be prepared. If going with the flow is what is best for you, then go with the flow. But regardless, just know in the end, all of the people that love you will make it come together. At the end of the day, you'll finally be married. And that is pretty dang cool.

If you could do it all again, anything you would change?

Not stressing as much over things that were outside of my control. As I mentioned earlier, you should be as organized as you want to be, but as I learned, not everything is in your control and your husband *cough* Trevor *cough* might throw away a whole box of wedding things. In the end, it didn't even matter and on the actual day, I didn't even think about it. I was too dang excited about getting married!!!

I’m dying laughing while reading this. HELLO! I had several local photographers looking for a pale blue ring box. Not even kidding. LOL Here’s my favorite shot of your gorgeous rings anyway. LOVE!

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

BARBADOS. It was simply beautiful and everything you could hope for in a honeymoon. We stayed at Sandals Royal Barbados and it was perfect. It was such a carefree, relaxing, and beautiful place. We had SO much fun. The food was also amazing (very important to two foodies such as ourselves). We are already planning our next trip back.
