{Beka&Mike | Engagement at Talbot Island| KiKi Creates |Jacksonville,…

November 2, 2018

Whenever I get asked what I miss about Florida the most, I always say sailing. So when Beka and Mike had the idea of sailing at sunrise for their engagement. I was all in! They are a super adventurous and fun couple, so this session was true to who they are and could not have been more up my alley. They cracked some beers on a private island as the sun hit the horizon and it was just about the coolest way to spend your morning. And, they get married in a week! So why not reminisce 🙂 Check out our sailing session below!
Enjoy!

{Jenny May & Weston Wedding at Fort Macon |…

October 27, 2017

Two thirds of Jenny and Weston’s relationship has been long distance. Jenny had an amazing opportunity to help others in need in Indonesia and moved there shortly after they started dating. And after many phone calls, face times, a 13 hour time difference, thousands of miles of distance and 14 months of being away from each other, they reunited at the Denver airport and spent 5 days in the Rocky Mountains together. On the Fifth day, Weston Proposed. It’s only fitting that their storybook love story was greeted by a storybook sunset on a secluded beach on their wedding day.
They were surrounded by friends and family on a windy day at the beach. As the sunset they said I do and shared a beautiful first kiss amongst their tearful guests. Following their ceremony we had an amazing sunset on a secluded beach where we frolicked around in the sand and salt.
Entering their reception under twinkle lights and ending it with a choreographed dance through sparklers was a wonderful start and end to the day. You can tell by all the smiles and happy tears that these two were truly loved not only by each other but by everyone Jenny&Weston_Bride+Groom_KiKiCreates-135

{Braeden & Ryan Wedding at The Wedding Garden |…

September 22, 2017

An absolutely beautiful place for two incredibly beautiful people. This wedding will always have an important place in my heart because it is the first wedding I photographed after moving to Colorado full time. And I feel so lucky to have spent it with Braeden and Ryan.
You would think a wedding on a Monday would be pretty mellow, not with this crowd! On a sunny summer day in CB Braeden and Ryan got ready on the river with close friends. We had a mini exploration of Almont where we joked around and broke out in small dance moves :). They were married in a painting, with their sweet dogs by their side and an emotional family watching, they said I do with a backdrop of snow capped mountains and bright green summer foliage all around. After their tearful and beautiful vows we frolicked in the valley for a few photos and entered their reception in full dance with the bridal party. The laughter and happy tears made for such an emotionally gorgeous wedding.
It was honestly one of the best Mondays! Check out all the love below! Enjoy!

{Madalyn & Neal's Wedding at Club Continental | KiKi…

September 8, 2016

Madalyn and Neal could have gotten married in jeans in an empty field with just their friends and family surrounding them and the day would have been just as gorgeous as it really was. I say that, because in the short time I have had the honor of getting to know Madalyn and Neal, I have realized they are the ones that light up the room, are the life of the party and make you feel special even if they don’t know you. We felt like family all day and we even each got a hug from 6 different people immediately when we walked in the door as they said “We are so happy you are here!”
They, along with everyone at their wedding, were an absolute joy to work with. I was even a little giddy editing the photos because I had such a great time! Anyways, check out one of the coolest couples I have had the absolutely wonderful pleasure of photographing below!
Congrats you two! Enjoy!

{Molly & Jerry’s Engagement at Atlantic Beach | KiKi…

August 26, 2016

This was my last summer shoot in Florida before I began my journey out west for my summer shoots. It turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous sunset at Hannah Park. Molly and Jerry were super excited and giddy which made for a super upbeat and fun shoot. They get married in the adorable red barn in Tennessee in a month and I can’t wait to photograph their adorableness (Is that a word?) on their wedding day.
For now, enjoy their beach engagement …

{Kayla & Cory’s Wedding at The Peach Barn |…

August 10, 2016

Kayla and Cory have that infectious, happy, beautiful kind of love. And their smiles show it. They were such a fun couple to photograph. We would have these beautiful moments with golden sunlight and then they would start making goofy faces and joking around with each other. I love how easy it was to tell how great of friends and perfect they are together.
We had an eventful day that included some of Cory’s homemade beer, home cooked food from Kayla’s family, songs sang at the reception by friends, an incredibly colorful sunset and an even more dramatic evening filled with lots of Kayla’s dad dancing and getting the party started. It was wonderful to spend the day with such loving and absolutely fun people. Check out all of their wedding below.
Enjoy!

{Jessica & Marty's Wedding at Key Largo Lighthouse |…

July 20, 2016March 28, 2019

Marty and Jessica are two of the sweetest, most genuine people you could ever meet. They are both super talented, crafty, funny, incredibly caring and not to mention…really gorgeous together. Once they found each other, everyone agreed, they are perfect together. I was excited to have the chance to photograph their beautiful wedding this spring and we had quite a lot of fun on this sunny Florida day.
Beyond the grand exit on their boat at midnight, they had hilarious toasts, an award winning sunset, champagne and rum punches, sparkler exit, and Jessica’s dad even gave her a high five right after he gave her away. Super happy you two found each other. Check out their colorful, super fun and absolutely lovely wedding below.

{Cara&Chris Wedding at Milliken Creek | KiKi Creates |…

May 25, 2016

An Australian Wedding in Napa Valley California with the liveliest group of 7 people I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy a leap day with. A gorgeous destination wedding timed perfectly with the mustard seeds blooming to give us this beautiful yellow color right at sunset. They took a few sips of wine during their vows, said I do, and then the entire wedding (of 7 people) hoped in my giant suv and took an adventure around the Napa Valley vineyards. Check out all the beauty below..

Enjoy! KiKi

{Andrea&Jay Wedding at Casa Marina | KiKi Creates |…

April 27, 2016

A perfect blue bird day here in Jax Beach. As if the day could not get any prettier…in walks the bubbly and all smiles Andrea. My Bride for the day. Her and her girls were giggling while covered in their shawls on this windy and cool day. Beyond the beauty of the day…there were tons of happy tears that made it hard to photograph at times. The love, honesty and welcomeness (that’s not a word!) of this wedding put a very warm and inviting feeling in this otherwise chilly day. Check out this incredibly sweet and adorable couples day below…

Enjoy!
