The sun was just beginning to set when I met with Kayla & Collin and close friends and family for their gorgeous Brown County micro wedding. Collin and Kayla chose the perfect spot to exchange vows, at the top of a vista overlook, with the rolling gold hills of Brown County State Park in the background. We started off with a beautiful first look, and some time spent together soaking up all the joy. Then loved ones grouped together with happy tears and smiles as Kayla and Collin exchanged vows with the golden rays of sunshine illuminating the trees.
