Kim and Brent met while competing on the BYU ballroom dance team. It is so beautiful to watch them dance together and I love that they both are aware of their bodies and because of that-they are so easy to photograph! I had done Kim’s brother’s wedding 3 years ago and it was so fun to see him and his gorgeous wife again. What a gorgeous reception! Kim and Brent held their reception at the American Fork Amphitheater. I absolutely love the color combination Kim picked of the peach/light pinks with the eggplant purple. GORGEOUS. Kim lived in Italy for a few years and they wanted it to also have an Italian feel. They had fire-oven pizza that was AMAZING, gelato from the nicest Italian company based right here in Salt Lake, and homemade recipes by family and friends. Their family and friends danced the night away and we ended the night watching them leave in their post-it covered car {which was so cute!}Look below to see how they made this beautiful wedding possible.
Below is from the mother of the bride:

Little boys wore bow ties made by the bride with help from sisters.
Bride’s shoes – Shoe Carnival (They were amazing! They didn’t have her size and ordered them in shipped Fedex so they would get here in time. They were sent the wrong size, so they Fedexed another pair that came in just in time. PLUS, they had two pairs sent each time just in case one had any marks on it. PLUS they remembered that we had asked if they had any in eggplant and there weren’t any the first time we asked, but he found some in the meantime and had them sent in just in case she really wanted them instead. Wow. Very impressed!)
