I'm dividing up Chelsea and Kurt's wonderful wedding into two parts, because I really want to feature their awesome homemade decor. I assure you it's amazing and completely worth the wait.
Chelsea and Kurt have more energy than any couple I know. Chelsea is an graphic design artist who designed this fabulous story of their relationship. (Click "our story.") Kurt's personality fills a room with warmth and matches Chelsea's smile.
There were a gazillion meaningful touches to the ceremony and the reception. During the ceremony, ribbon threaded through their rings ran through the church so each guest could touch the rings and give them their personal blessings.
Like every wedding, I was most moved by the surprise moments of emotion. Kurt's brother had difficulty getting through his speech when he spoke of what a role model his brother is to him. Chelsea's mom had tears in her eyes all day, especially when watching her daughter dance with her husband - Chelsea's dad - in the same wedding gown she had worn when she was Chelsea's age.
Thank you, Chelsea and Kurt, for including me on your special day. It was really difficult to pick my favorite moments...there were so many of them.
Also, thank you, Maggie Rife, for assisting me and capturing some of the images above.

I love documenting the moments after a couple become husband and wife. (Kurt reading the inscription on his new wedding band.)

Could Jack's smile be any bigger? Could Katherine's gorgeous blue eyes sparkle more? Their Saturday wedding at City Hall was full of joy, which was heightened more by the communal celebratory air from the other brides and grooms getting married.
According to the judge marrying Katherine and Jack, they had the largest group of witnesses to ever file into the his chambers. Perhaps the extra people added to Jack's excitement because he jumped the gun with the "I do" (you could tell he'd been practicing). :)
Katherine and Jack, best wishes on your new life together!
