Barn at Valhalla Wedding - Kassy & Mike

Kassy & Mike were married at the Barn at Valhalla in a small, sweet ceremony. Here are some of my favorites from their day.

We started the day with portraits of the two of them, followed by some group photos before the ceremony.

Kassy and her girls enjoyed some tequila shots before the ceremony. Love that attitude!

The Barn at Valhalla has several spots for a ceremony, both indoor and outdoor. Kassy & Mike opted for an outdoor ceremony amidst towering trees, with sunshine dappling through.

When it was time for the pronouncement and kiss, Kassy surprised everyone (Mike included, I think) by jumping into her new husband’s arms for the kiss.

After the ceremony, Kassy & Mike headed over to the lodge building for a private vow exchange with their wedding party, while the rest of the guests enjoyed a cocktail hour and the gorgeous reception decor at the barn.

How pretty is the barn all done up like this? The draping, greenery, and candlelight. *heart eyes*

Time for a first dance. Kassy’s brother played and sang their first dance song, and it was so sweet.

Guest favors included chocolate kisses, and the flower girl succeeded in collecting as many as she could. She also lost a tooth at the reception!! So of course she had to show the bride 🙂

During dinner, the floor was open to toasts, and the newlyweds’ friends and family did not disappoint.

That was the end of the evening for us, but I want to include a bling shot, because I loved the vibes of their rings. My own engagement ring is a cushion cut with a halo though, so I’m biased.
