Kaitlyn and Derek are a very special couple, the kind that makes you feel like fast friends. Since these two started dating in high school, their friendships go back a long time and it was fun to see this close-knit group of friends celebrate this great couple! Not only was their day incredibly beautiful, it was incredibly touching and heartfelt. Kaitlyn even had a first look with her dad before she went to see Derek.
Kaitlyn and Derek were married at their home church in Prior Lake, a place that holds immense meaning to their eight year relationship. Following their beautiful ceremony, we stopped at a nearby park to pop some champagne before heading to the reception at Oak Ridge Country Club. Kaitlyn and Derek made their entrance to the party and went right into their first dance, which was very romantic. After some touching speeches by Kaitlyn’s dad, sister and best man, the party kicked off with a wedding party that loooooved to dance. It was a fitting way to leave their wedding day and we know they had an amazing day celebrating.
