The weather was PERFECT, their story was PERFECT. And Krystle and Gabe are PERFECT for each other! Krystle contacted me over a year ago to shoot her wedding! We kind of hit it off from the beginning! (You can see their engagement photos and read how the met HERE )

Krystle arrived early to check on all the preparations. She busily applied a few last shimmery touches to her 'maids eyes and ensuring every detail was just how she imagined it. Krystle is so sweet and into all the details! I loved it... She and Gabe are absolutely meant for one another!
Gabe was so helpful and definitely the life of the party! His smile and care-free attitude are contageous and I can't help but think that if the world had more "Gabes" it would be a better place! :)

Krystle and Gabe, thank you so much for allowing me to be your photographer on such a special and fun day! I hope your wedding was everything you ever dreamed it would be... and more!

After double checking everyone else's make up, Krystle finally added the finishing touches to hers. You look AMAZING, KRYSTLE!
Krystle's underlying theme was "diamonds". I call it "BLING"!
She even had lots of "BLING!" on her dress! Ooww Ooww!
Krystle's mom helped button up the dress...
READY! Krystle's first look at herself completely ready!
Meanwhile, Gabe prepared in a nearby room...
With a little help from his friends...
GABE! He's such a fun guy and extremely laid back.
KRYSTLE!!! You are gorgeous!
Krystle and her fabulous bridesmaids! These girls were so much fun and I loved working with them!!!
Back inside waiting for the ceremony to start... It's Gabe's lucky day!
Krystle's bouquet!
Almost a husband!
The ring bearer was trying so hard to help! This was such a funny moment. SOMEONE was NOT happy about walking down that aisle!... NO, it wasn't Krystle!
But she finally made it down with a little help from friends and family... and a bottle of m&m's! THAT would do it for ME! YUM!
This was right when they opend the chapel doors and he looked at Krystle take her first step down the aisle...
The beautiful bride!
I stepped behind Krystle to get this shot of Gabe's face! I LOVE IT! He's so happy to be getting married to the love of his life!
Larissa got this shot of the little guy... Something was pretty funny!
This is when he promised to love her...
There was just something about this shot... so many people involoved and helping out on the wedding day! Gabe and Krystle, weddings are a ton of work and you and your friends and family pulled it off fabulously!
MARRIED! They were so happy and absolutely beaming the rest of the evening!
We went out at sunset for a few more shots... LOVE IT.
Gabe is a police officer in the Kansas City metro area. So...
The beautiful wedding cake!
Krystle and Gabe talked and laughed through their whole dance! These two are seriously adorable!
OH... and did I mention that Gabe is quite the ham? He decided to do a spin/walk around the bride in the middle of their dance. It was actually very fitting and had the whole room laughing.
Krystle and Gabe danced the rest of the night together. Laughing, talking and just being PERFECT... for each other. I'm so glad I was there to be a part of their special day! THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!
