Runners. There’s just something about them, something different. Their determination, dedication and hard work carries over to all other areas of their lives. Those are the qualities you definitely want to bring in to a marriage.
It didn’t take long for Michael and Kaity to meet and fall in love as they ran together in college. While they knew what it took to train and put in 100%, they also spent more and more time together outside of practice. They both ran in the marathon at nationals the year Kaity won, and Mike crossed the line and waited to be the first to congratulate her. It was fitting then, that on an afternoon run in the summer, Mike stopped to tie his shoe and came up with a ring to ask Kaity to marry him. That was just the beginning, and the planning for a day that at once seemed so far away ended up coming very quickly.
The wedding day was perfect as it only can be when you unite family and friends, especially with Ryan (Kaity’s brother) on leave from serving in Iraq. There was not lack of emotion, love, and excitement and I had a great time being a part of the day and documenting it. I’m excited to post the first of many slideshows for Mike + Kaity’s wedding, so make sure you make it to the bottom of the post to view it.
Kaity opened her gift from Michael, a monogrammed jewelry box, just before the wedding… now he just has to fill it up.
Bubble exits are so fun to photograph! I love the extra pops of color you get from all of the bubbles. After the ceremony we headed to the train station for some fun and iconic photos. It was close to the river as well so after putting on some boots I captured some images of Mike + Kaity in the gorgeous snowy scene.
