Moments Before The Ceremony


We had the opportunity to capture the beautiful wedding of Saliyah and Kyle Beaver at The Bayou Club.


The day started off slow and intentional. Saliyah was surrounded by her best friends and close family. Their suite was filled with pop music, champagne, charcuterie and precious laughter. While they enjoyed their moments together, our team snuck away for photos to show off the bridal details. Her flowing dress, shoes, earrings. All playing a critical part in this monumental day.


Kyle arrived a few hours later with his best friends and got a moment to take a few breaths before having to get dressed for the first touch.

The first touch


First touches are an opportunity for alone time with your soon-to-be-spouse without breaking the "tradition" of not seeing each other before the altar. Saliyah and Kyle were back to back at the iconic fireplace in the Bayou Club where they exchanged sweet words and private promises to each other. Tears fell, voices shaky but it was as if their love and desire to marry had gotten stronger. It was a moment of reflection, gratitude and emotion.
