Everyone at the studio who has met Kayla and Logan have said the same thing. They are awesome! Everything about them makes them easy to like and want to be around. They are sweet and cheerful and genuinely interested in other people. They make you feel like you are the most important person. No wonder they fit so well together! They compliment each other perfectly in their genuine kindness and charisma. When you didn’t think they could get any better they make each other better.
When Janae and I arrived at The Manor House it was apparent that we were going to have a great day. Kayla and her mom, sister and soon to be sister in a law were all getting ready in the cottage and were as cool as cucumbers. Logan’s mom was there with the biggest brightest smile on her face. Everyone was so happy and ready for this to happen. Kayla, of course, was the most ready after 6 years of dating the man she has known she loved for a long time.
Over at the main house Logan wasn’t any different. His party may have been slightly sillier and he couldn’t wipe that smile off his face. He was radiating. He just seemed so happy. All the boys were down in the man cave having a good time playing pool, drinking beer and hanging out. It is one of my favorite parts of The Manor House that there are two separate amazing places for the bride and groom to hang out and get ready.
The day continued to be beautiful. The sky was full of deep blue clouds that made for gorgeous soft lighting and some cooling down on the hot July day. We had a little rain, which you all know is good luck and Kayla and Logan just enjoyed it cuddled under an umbrella. It made the fields glow.
My favorite part of the day was to see that these two incredible people were so loved and appreciated by their family and friends. They were doted on and bragged about and there was a family party like I have never seen. The brother in laws from all the family, about 12 of them in total, all did a cute little speech welcoming Logan to the brother in law club and promised to protect them and their marriage and help them at anytime with anything. Kayla’s dad gave a touching speech about family and finding such a glorious one in his wife and later kids.
I am so happy for Kayla and Logan to start their own family as husband and wife. I am sure it will be better everyday. Congratulations!
Thanks to all the vendors!

The man cave is equipped with pool table. Not a bad place to hang out.
The library at The Manor House is perfect for the groom’s photos.
I love her bride robe.
Her dress had a piece of both her mom’s and grandma’s dresses sewn in.
The moment when you realize you get to wear your wedding dress.
Blind first look around a corner just before the ceremony.
That is the “oh wow” face.

Can you tell Kayla is excited to be married.
Mr & Mrs. Gee, once and for all.
Now that is a good looking wedding party.
A little rain never hurt anyone. Plus it is good luck on the wedding day!
The flowers were all done by Kayla’s aunts.
Logan leading the way.
In a dress like this a girl just has to twirl.
They just look so happy.
Kayla had the straps added to her dress. They make it perfect!
I love this vintage couch for snuggling.
The reception room at The Manor house is spacious and gorgeous.
Rustic and elegant center pieces.
The toasts had everyone cracking up.
Even the flowers on this cake were made out of sugar.
Smashing the cake in each other’s face, priceless.
I love the uplighting by Encore Events for their first dance.
The anniversary dance was one by 53 years.
It was a soft Colorado sunset.
Kayla made all of those candles by hand.
