Kimberly & Brian

Kimberly and Brian’s Enchanted Forest Wedding was nothing short of magical. These two met a few years ago through friends. Brian said, “When I happened to see a rather nerdy post Kim put on our friend’s Facebook page, I decided I’d try my luck at a cheesy yet classically romantic message to let her know I’m interestied in dating her. It worked!” Kimberly said that it was just so cheesy, she had to respond! Brian asked her out to dinner at Sapporo and even overcame his stage fright and impressed Kimberly with his Karaoke skills at the Distillery and they hit it off right away. Around Christmas time Brian walked Kimberly down a Christmas-lit street in the Fab 40’s of Sacramento and tried to make small talk. Suddenly he got sappy and said things like “I want to have this house with you one day, and I hope to have a future with you.” At first, Kimberly thought he was saying he bought the house so she of course started to panic a little, but then he got down on one knee and proposed to her. Despite Kimberly being frozen, given that she was wearing a dress and leggings in the dead of winter, she said yes and the two kissed and were engaged to be married. Their wedding that followed their engagement was so beautiful and represented their love for Lord of the Rings, and all things enchanted and magical. When Brian saw Kimberly walk down the isle for the first time, you could tell he was fighting back tears! He said, “I gasped and forced myself to keep my man-face and not to show a tear.” Kimberly’s nerves were apparent as she walked down the isle and later said, “I just really didn’t want to mess up in front of everybody. I felt relief once I got there, to the altar, that I made it throught the last eight months of wedding planning.” Besides their cake falling due to the heat of the summer, and yes we got a photo of it before it fell, the day went off without a hitch. Kimberly had fun dancing the night away with loved ones and said, “having everyone I care about, all in the same room, it was magical!” Brian had a blast during the reception as well and said that dancing with his Mother made him so happy, and she even told him that she was so proud of him, which was a particularly special moment. Their wedding was such a joy to capture and we feel so honored to have been there to capture all of the beautiful, Awe moments, which were plentiful. Please enjoy these photos from their beautiful wedding!!
