This past Saturday, I had the immense honor and privilege of photographing the wedding of someone who has meant the world to me her entire life—my best friend's daughter, Kaylee. Kaylee isn’t just a bride I watched walk down the aisle. She’s someone I’ve watched grow up, from the tiniest baby in my arms to the graceful, stunning woman she is today. Growing up I didn’t have much experience with babies—until Kaylee came along. She was the first baby I ever felt comfortable holding, the first little one I ever bonded with. She opened up that part of my heart, and I’ll forever be grateful for that. I remember the days when she went through her horse-loving phase. She’d come over to my parents’ house and ride Koby and Rose with pure joy in her eyes. Those days are now sweet, sunlit memories, tucked into my heart like Polaroids. And now here we are—Kaylee is a married woman. Seeing her with Daniel, seeing the love and calm strength they share, filled me with a deep, proud kind of joy that’s hard to put into words. They’re a beautiful match, and I’m so excited for their life together. As I stood behind the camera, I found myself blinking back tears more than once. Photographing this wedding wasn’t just a job—it was a full-circle moment. Every click of the shutter felt like capturing not just a moment, but a memory I’ll treasure forever. Kaylee, you’ve grown into a remarkable woman—beautiful, graceful, and full of kindness. I am so incredibly proud of you and so honored to have witnessed this chapter of your story. Here are a few of my favorite moments from the day. I hope they capture even a sliver of the love, laughter, and light that filled every corner of your wedding. With ALL my Love - Tristan
