IVINSON MANSION WEDDING | Kyleigh + Bryce

Faith & Family are THE most important things to Rick and I. It is so refreshing when you get to work with a couple who with their heart’s for The Lord just embody and live their lives for the same values! We so enjoyed getting to photograph Kyleigh & Bryce’s engagement photos, where we got to know them on a more personal level. The amount of faithfulness, servitude and love for one another that these two share just absolutely has us in awe. They started their big day with devotionals and a lot of prayer from the loved ones that mean so much to them! What a wonderful way to start this beautiful Ivinson Mansion wedding off right!

Kyleigh’s father is an attorney and has his offices here in Laramie, WY. She chose to get ready there and let me tell you, we love love loved the decision! Such a masculine atmosphere with all those lovely delicate girly details. She put her dress on in his office and somehow I just felt like this sweet girl wanted to have her Dad be a part of this important part of her day. In addition to the typical ‘getting ready’ that occurred prior to this Ivinson Mansion wedding, Kyleigh made time to be in God’s Word with her family and friends. They held a devotional right there in the conference room and it was a super emotional time for everyone. I am not going to lie I shed a few tears and couldn’t help but be touched by their love for our great God!

These two had a lovely morning ceremony at the Historic Ivinson Mansion here in Laramie, WY. They carried a whimsical brunch theme throughout their decor complete with a cereal bar, donut cake and coffee mug gift for guests. They chose custom coffee mugs with their names as their party favors and although it was ‘breakfast’ you really felt like you were attending the most splendid tea party you could ever ask to be invited to. Their ceremony was held on the lawn and we had beautiful sunshine throughout the entire day. To say I was in LOVE with their vintage decor would be an understatement. Everywhere you looked there was another thoughtful piece including the cutest bookshelf with photos of all of the married couples on both sides. Perhaps the MOST unique and fun detail from the entire day however was their Cheerio Exit. We have NEVER seen that before, what a cute idea!

Their programs were inspired by a newspaper theme and they displayed them in a newspaper rack. This wedding was a photographers dream, emotion, details and a couple SO IN LOVE!

Kyleigh & Bryce, we adore you and especially are in awe of your love for The Lord! The way you seek to bring him glory in all that you do and especially on this important day of your lives just makes our hearts happy! Thank you so much for asking us to be there for you, helping you to remember it through images. We have no doubt there are wonderful things in store for you two and we will be praying for you like crazy!
