Last fall, amidst the vibrant hues of the changing leaves, I had the distinct honor of capturing Kyla and Tyler’s engagement photos at the breathtaking Wolf Lakes Park on the Garden Side. We were also setting the stage for an even more memorable occasion – their beautiful wedding day. Also at Wolf Lakes Park, this time with the striking colors of the autumn foliage serving as the perfect backdrop to their love story.

The continuity of celebrating their love in the same location where we captured their engagement photos was a poetic reminder of the journey that led them to this day. What made these moments even more cherished was the inclusion of their son! Not only in the engagement photos but also as an integral part of their wedding day, symbolizing the love and unity of their family.

The weather on their wedding day was nothing short of perfect. The warm autumn sun cast a golden glow over the venue, amplifying the natural beauty of Wolf Lakes Park. Nestled in the Central Valley, this picturesque location boasts a serene lake, meticulously manicured greenery, and lovely architecture, making it an idyllic setting for a romantic and memorable wedding ceremony and reception.

However, amidst the joy and celebration, there was a bittersweet moment. Kyla and Tyler’s best man, a dear friend who had been an integral part of their journey, was unable to attend in person due to an unexpected accident. In a remarkable display of modern innovation and the unwavering bond of friendship, he was able to virtually participate in the festivities through the use of a specially designed robot. It was a poignant testament to the resilience and strength of their friendship.

Kyla left me a thoughtful review shortly after their wedding:

“Ashley was such an amazing addition to our wedding day. She made everyone feel confident and comfortable. Before the big day she did our engagement shoot in the same location where we would become husband and wife. It was the most perfect way to set the stage for my husband and I. We truly couldn’t have imagined the day without her and plan to keep her as apart of our family as we grow!”
