You may remember Kyle and Elise from the surprise engagement scavenger hunt that Kyle sent Elise on, ending with a sparkly ring, a big “yes”, and a celebration with some of their closest friends at one of their favorite local hangouts. Well, they got married in October in a low key beach celebration in Florida and I was lucky enough to go along for a few days and capture the festivities.
Elise and Kyle, thank you so much for having me be a part of your day! Your wedding was simply lovely and everything about it captured who you are as a couple and showed how much you care about each other and your friends and family. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and gorgeous sunsets together!
Elise’s dress was STUNNING and, depending on the light, it would alternate between white and this lovely blush color. So perfect!
I love me some shoes and thought it was so cool the guys’ shoes took center stage at this wedding! Kyle had custom-painted kicks for himself and his groomsmen in Doctor Who and Star Wars themes. 
Kyle and Elise opted to do a first look before the ceremony. I loved how excited they both were!
Perfect. Simply perfect. Can you beat that backdrop?
Beau was somewhat less than thrilled. “Hey, guys, can we hurry this up? I know food comes next!”
They opted to do a handfasting ritual during their ceremony, which I thought was a lovely and unique touch.
Wedding favors for the guests: “Nice Day for a Wit Wedding”, a beer homebrewed by the couple! They took a few minutes between the ceremony and reception to sample some themselves on the balcony of the beach house.
Brunch reception! What a fun idea – omelet bar and mimosas – you can’t go wrong!
After the reception (but before the after party!) we snuck back out to the beach for some sunset shots and I was SO glad we did. Perfect ending to their wedding day!
