Sweet, down to earth and so in love. Kaitie and Zach Rector wed each other June, 9th with a charming ceremony tucked in Eckerty, Indiana at Patoka Lake Marina and Lodging.
Upon arriving and introducing myself and my second photographer to the family and guests. We already had the vibe, these are the cool people that we wish weâve always known. The atmosphere was dear to me because it reminded me of my own wedding. There was a joy, serenity and a touch of 'hair of the dog' atmosphere. My kind of people!
The men sitting on the couch relaxing pointed me in the direction of the Bride. I stepped in the bathroom doorframe and smiled. There was a bouquet of women perfectly placed sharing one mirror, finishing up their last touches. Sweet Kaitie stepped out from the girls in an adorable white shirt that read, âI Do!â As not to scare the Bride and Groom, and by scare I mean step in the door and go FULL paparazzi on them. I asked for their detail items first such as Rings, Shoes, Dress, Bouquets, Family Heirlooms,.. any details such as those that was carefully chosen to make their day special.
Her jewelry was precious and her mothers. Her Wedding Rings are breathtaking. Her dress, light and stunning. If emojiâs hovered over me and my second photographer to represent our mood. Weâd have the ones with hearts over our eyes. And it didnât stop at the details. The First Look, The Ceremony, The Marriage Portraits. An allotted photography timeline helped us get all of the pictures that were most important to Kaitie and Zach.Â
A storm rolled in and the men and women at the reception quickly moved to plan B, folding up tables, canopies, chairs and moved food to one of the cabins where they would continue the rest of the celebration. Kaitie gave us big hugs before we parted. My second photographer and I got into my car just as it started pouring rain. We looked at each other. Big smiles on our faces and one thought in mind. Oh my gosh, that was SO much fun!Â
Wishing you all the love in the world, Kaitie + Zach!
Favorite Moment: When Zach was spraying Kaitie with OFF! and Kaitie ran through it with her arms air paddling. Soooo Cute!
