Kyle had planned a trip to Prescott so Elizabeth knew Kyle was going to pop the question of marriage. While they were driving up to Northern Arizona Kyle could feel the awkwardness and had a feeling she knew he was going to propose. Kyle contemplated if he should propose that day or wait until another time when Elizabeth would be completely surprised. He finally came to the conclusion and told Elizabeth, “We need to clear the air…I’m not proposing today.” With that said Kyle and Elizabeth enjoyed the day enjoying the beauties at Prescott Lake and the wild animals at Prescott Zoo.

Two weeks later, Kyle planned a day trip for the two of them. This time Kyle packed a backpack full of goodies. When Elizabeth saw this she thought is was peculiar; Kyle never packed. The two enjoyed their drive up to the Grand Canyon through foggy, snowy and freezing weather. When they arrived, Kyle led Elizabeth for a walk around the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and took her to place to sit. Kyle opened up a journal where the two of them shared a continuous love letter to one-another. As Kyle began to read to Elizabeth he started to tear up. As this was happening Elizabeth was wondering to herself, “Is he going to ask me or not?” Kyle continued to read from the journal expressing his love to Elizabeth. At the end of his reading Kyle asked if Elizabeth would be his bride for life…and she said “YES!” with tears and joy! Shortly after, a work of God happened, the clouds lifted and the two were able to take some proposal photos at the Grand Canyon.

Best friends and now husband and wife, the two are now creating a home in Mesa, Arizona. Kyle and Elizabeth’s love was visible for all to experience on their wedding day, November 12, 2015. The two chose to have their celebratorial wedding in Gilbert, Arizona at The Elegant Barn. In front of God and their family and friends they vowed to cherish and love one another for life.

Kyle and Elizabeth, I adore you both. Your wedding day was a true picture of your love and of the Gospel. You both are blessed with amazing family and friends and it truly was an honor to document your first day as husband and wife. Grace and Peace, April

Their wedding day started with pretty floral designs….

After their gift exchange we roamed The Elegant Barn‘s lawn.

Eternal Event Design created a masterpiece of Elizabeth’s wedding bouquet: whimsical, organic, and tied with a ribbon.

Kyle and Elizabeth put God at the center of their wedding day and will for their marriage!

The Elegant Barn’s doors and ceiling were outlined with drapes and garlands to give the wedding an ethereal feel.

Elizabeth’s dog, Noel, accompanied the ring bearer and flower girl down the aisle.

Their ceremony was sweet and heartfelt.

Elizabeth was really looking forward to doing communion with her newly married husband!

One of the many reasons why Kyle and Elizabeth chose to get married at The Elegant Barn was because the venue allowed for a traditional wedding but also a backyard feel. During cocktail hour guests were able to play lawn games like Giant Jenga and Cornhole.

Afterwards, we roamed the The Elegant Barn property for wedding photos…

Many thanks from All Done Up for their talented work!

Elizabeth, you are breathtaking!

Kyle and Elizabeth did a fantastic job designing a timeless reception with chandeliers, drapes and string lights hanging from the ceiling. The primary light source for their reception lighting came from the string lights and lit candles.

Elizabeth chose for her wedding color palette to showcase soft Autumn colors: lavender, dusty rose and cranberry. Many thanks to Eternal Event Design for pretty florals.

Kyle and Elizabeth chose to have a simple whimsical wedding cake splashed with fresh pink roses.

The wedding celebration started off with prayer and kisses!

Their first dance as husband and wife.

The toasts and blessing was from the heart!

Epic moments and dancing were happening in The Elegant Barn that night!

As the evening was winding down guests had the option of having Autumn s’mores over a campfire.

Candid moments are the best! Congrats Kyle and Elizabeth for becoming one!
