I’ve known Molly since college, so when she asked me to play a part in her wedding day, I was beyond honored! I have been SO excited about Molly and Kyle’s day for such a long time, and it did not disappoint! I could not think of two people that balance each other out better than Molly and Kyle. They were SO excited to officially be husband and wife, and WOW I don’t think I have the words to express how wonderful their day was! These two have had a rollercoaster of a year, and it truly was so wonderful to see them celebrating how far they’ve come together!

The forecast was calling for rain on their wedding day (Is anyone surprised at this point in the season?!), but it ONLY rained when we were supposed to be inside! (What a blessing!!!) We even got a little sun! Now, that is some amazing luck! We were able to take some gorgeous portraits around historic Bethlehem both before and after their ceremony! These two opted to share a first look, and I’m not joking when I say that first looks are the absolute best! They are great for reducing nerves AND maximizing your time in front of the camera. This adorable part of town made for the perfect setting for some romantic portraits!

Now… I just have to say that these two have THE best friends ever! Seriously, their bridal party was amazing and SO helpful! Bridesmaids were holding up the hotel curtains to help me and Savannah get better light at one point and the groomsmen kept us laughing all day long, and that’s just the beginning! Their day was filled with so many people that love them a lot, and it was such an honor to meet all of Molly & Kyle’s closest family and friends. Everyone I crossed paths with was SO excited to be sharing and celebrating this day with Molly & Kyle, and it was so amazing to see just how loved they are!

These two are currently soaking up some sun in sunny Florida!! Keep on scrolling for a look into Molly and Kyle’s gorgeous sky blue and gold wedding at Historic Hotel Bethlehem! You’ll also get to sneak a peek at Molly’s AMAZING shoes!! Ladies, for those of you that are wondering, they are Blue by Betsey Johnson, and are SO incredibly stunning on camera & in person!! I just about DIED when Molly pulled them out of the box!

Congratulations to Molly & Kyle! 

OK Y’all know I LOVE a good first look! Get ready!!

Their ceremony was filled with so much tradition!

MARRIED! 

Molly and Kyle had the sweetest anniversary dance during their reception! Molly gave her bouquet away to the couple that has been married the longest!! The winners have been married for 65 years!! Savannah & I may or may not have been shooting through all of the tears.

Thankful to have such amazing couples!! (One of these days, I’ll learn how to keep my baby hairs in check on a humid wedding day!!)

A special thank you to the team of vendors that made Molly & Kyle’s day so wonderful!
