Marissa + Vinnie | Married | Kayla Knies Photography | NWI Wedding Photographer

Joy. Is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Marissa + Vinnie’s wedding day. The day was filled with loved ones who were so incredibly excited to see these two become one. Marissa lights up a room. Her smile is contagious and I don’t think anyone can make Vinnie smile the way Marissa can. It was evident how absolutely perfect these two are for one another.

While the day was filled with so much joy – it also was filled with some tears. Some happy, some sad. From their vows, to the speeches, to the slideshow memorial honoring both bride and groom’s late fathers, to a few pieces of Marissa’s fathers’ wardrobe that sat in the seat he should have been sitting in – these two made sure to honor the ones they lost in the best way they could.

Their day was perfect. So perfect that immediately following ceremony and all portraits, it completely down-poured. And then stopped in just enough time for us to get a faux sparkler exit! It was truly such a beautiful day and it was an honor to document it.

Enjoy so many of my favorites with still SO many more to come.

Congratulations again, Mr and Mrs Arizpe!!

With love,

Kayla
