A week of unexpected twists and turns made for an eventful and hectic lead up to Kaitlin and Derricks wedding day. You would expect anyone who had gone through what they did, from a hospital stay to honeymoon destination being destroyed by a hurricane, to be stressed out and frustrated. However, from the second I arrived I was greeted with smiles (even as Kaitlin’s makeup artist was airbrushing IV marks from her arm) and those smiles never left their faces! I was in awe of their positivity and ability to put all the trials behind them and whole heartedly enjoy the wedding day they had waited for and planned for so long!

Everything was perfect - Kaitlin’s family absolutely KILLED it on the decorating, the cakes were stunning (and as a Houston raised girl I may have been a little partial to the Astro’s themed grooms cake!), the ceremony was full of special rituals and traditions, the speeches made everyone laugh AND cry, and everyone had a blast dancing the night away til the sparkler exit!

Their photos were so hard to narrow down for a sneak peek - - full disclosure I totally didn’t narrow them down lol - - so pull up a chair, get comfy, make sure you have some tissues handy, and most of all enjoy this 10 minute snippet of Kaitlin and Derrick Silvas’ magical wedding day!
