Rayville, LA Wedding and Family Photography | Kyla Branch Photography {the blog}

It was a cold morning and all I could think of was how excited I was to photograph Casey and Jacob’s big day. I arrived to find Casey running around making sure all the details were in place. I was amazed at how much someone could accomplish with only a few weeks of planning! The house and tent were beautiful! Everything in place(thanks to some awesome aunts and uncles too). I even had the pleasure of helping make the flower arrangements the day before with Casey’s aunts. I loved seeing how it all came together!

There were no cliches of the bride and groom not seeing each other that day. Casey and Jacob were laid back and just ready to get married. Jacob saw Casey for the first time in her gown and said “Dang girl you look good”!   And Casey in her sweet southern drawl said “why thank ya”. That’s it, no muss no fuss. Their wedding day was so suppose to be small but you know how family members get when you leave them out. The ceremony was so sweet. Only a few close family were invited. The fire was burning in the fireplace and the preacher said “well this is gonna be short cause of the fire”. LOL he was standing in front of it and obviously it was rather warm. It was short and to the point but you know what? Casey and Jacob are married and that’s all that matters!

The reception was a totally different affair. The tent was packed with well wishers wanting to share a hug and congrats with Casey and Jacob. The band Phat Hat from Baton Rouge rocked the night out with a wonderful performance and everyone danced until they could dance no more. Casey and Jacobs big day was beautiful and I was honored to be chosen as their wedding photographer. Enjoy your sneak peek.
