Kristen + Graham’s Fairytale Wedding – Rockwall, Texas

Kristen and Graham were married as Castle Douglas in Rockwall. Kristen’s dress looked like something straight out of a fairytale. She looked like a true princess. From the first time I met Graham, my first opinion of him was how much of a gentleman he was. After spending their wedding day with them and getting to know them a little better, I can tell you that in fact, Graham found his princess and Kristen found her prince charming. At the reception the DJ read their “love story” of how they met, about their first date, about how Graham took Kristen and Jacob both out on the date and about how Kristen and Graham fell in love. The day was filled with so much emotion. It was an absolutely beautiful day. After I posted the iPhone picture of the castle on my facebook that day, I’ve had lots of comments about how excited everyone was to see the “castle wedding.” As I drove up the hill to the castle, my head was spinning… I was making mental notes of all the different spots I wanted to drag Kristen and Graham out too after their first look. But when I got out of the truck and was almost knocked down, after the wind caught my door.. I realized that probably wasn’t going to happen. We weren’t able to do much outside because the wind was destroying all of the girl’s hair but we were at least able to stand on the front steps and get some shots in front of the beautiful doors. The wedding was beautiful and everything went so smoothly. Congrats to Kristen and Graham!!!! I’m SO happy I got to meet AND work with you and both of your amazing families. :)

Ps.. to top off the whole fairytale wedding theme… their last name is KING. :)
