No Fuss, Just Us

No seating chart. No sparkler sendoff. No cookie-cutter anything.
Kiera & Jake’s wedding was all heart: a colorful, laid-back garden party that felt more like a cozy night in—with flowers, ice cream, and everyone they love. From a DIY bouquet bar to a sister-led ceremony and a soundtrack of pure joy, they tossed the rulebook and made magic their own way.
