Kayli and Wes planned their big day to take place at the Big Tin Cotton Gin in San Tan Valley, AZ. It was a beautiful day for a wedding what seemed like out in the middle of nowhere.

Wes and Kayli’s love story began in Payson, Arizona where Kayli had recently moved for school. Although she was new to town, fate intervened when a mutual friend suggested she meet Wes, a local who had grown up in the area. From that moment on, their connection was undeniable, and they quickly discovered a shared passion for the outdoors. Whether it’s hiking with their beloved dogs or embarking on exhilarating RZR rides along trails with Wes’s family, they cherish every moment spent in nature together. As they approach their fourth anniversary, Wes and Kayli eagerly anticipate their upcoming wedding, which will mark another milestone in their journey of love and adventure.

Amidst the whirlwind of a wedding day where the timeline seemed to have a mind of its own, there was a moment that truly encapsulated the essence of love’s spontaneity. As guests began arriving and schedules veered off course, the anticipation mounted. With each passing minute, the window for outdoor photos seemed to shrink. Yet, just when it felt like time was slipping away, the bride spoke up with unwavering determination. “We have to do our private vows,” she declared, halting everything until their intimate moment could be shared. And so, with guests patiently awaiting the ceremony, the couple stole away to exchange their heartfelt promises. In that serene interlude, amidst the chaos, a beautiful calm descended. It was a pause in the rush of the day, a moment where love prevailed over schedules, and where the true essence of their union shone brightest. It was one of my most absolute favorite parts of their whole day.
