Kayla and Stephen’s Joyful Backyard Wedding in Bristol, Connecticut

Another crazy Madison, WI connection! Kayla and Steve live blocks from where I used to live in Wisconsin, something we immediately bonded over. There is so much that makes these two special (as became very obvious when literally everyone was sobbing throughout their entire mystical backyard ceremony). Kayla is a radiant beam of joy; to be near her is to be happy by association, regardless of your mood beforehand. Steve is a moment of zen, incarnate. They seem to balance each other out in the most natural of ways, their love an almost visible forcefield around them. It’s delightful to watch and even more special to document.
