Ceremony

Kati and Isaiah's wedding ceremony was a beautiful and intimate affair, held at the St. Thomas More Church. The stunning location, with its ornate architecture and tranquil ambiance, provided the perfect setting for a truly memorable moment in the couple's love story.

Kati and Isaiah's first look, a magical and intimate moment that would forever be etched in their memories, took place at the church on the isle. As Kati approached Isaiah, her heart beating with excitement and anticipation, she knew that this was a moment that would forever define their love story.

"Isaiah wanted to cry but held it in! He could barely smile because he was holding back tears. He said he had never seen me look more beautiful," remembers Kati.

As Kati walked down the aisle, accompanied by the elegant sounds of violin and piano music, the love and joy in the room were palpable. The music created a sense of serenity and warmth, complementing the grandeur and elegance of the church. “I was filled with so much excitement, but truly felt just at ease as I knew I was marrying my best friend.”

Photoshoot after the ceremony

The couple chose two locations for their photosession: in front of the towers and on the beach.

The towers, an iconic landmark that had always held a special place in Kati's heart, provided a stunning backdrop for the first part of the photoshoot. The towering structure, with its grandeur and elegance, perfectly complemented the timeless and sophisticated aesthetic that Kati and Isaiah had envisioned for their wedding.

For the second part of the photoshoot, Kati and Isaiah headed to the beach, where the soft sands and gentle waves provided the perfect setting for a romantic and intimate moment.

Reception

The guest list was thoughtfully curated, with only 60 of their closest family and friends in attendance, creating an intimate and warm atmosphere that perfectly reflected their vision.

“The key moment that I'll remember forever was when, randomly during the maid of honor and best man speeches, they passed the microphone to any guest who wanted to speak. Many family members and friends had such wonderful things to say, and of course, I cried my eyes out.”

For the reception, Kati opted for a wrap-neck dress from Halston, which was a perfect complement to her ceremony dress. The dress was elegant, chic, and comfortable, allowing her to dance the night away with her loved ones.
