Esther and Kendall's wedding day in Gainesville, Florida, was full of serene love. Their calm and collected personalities were a delightful contrast to the typical wedding day hustle. Their chosen hues of blue, white, and delicate gold-painted a soothing palette, mirroring their personalities.

The ceremony at the Queen of Peace Catholic Church symbolized their faith and love. The couple exchanged their vows amidst close friends and family, setting a tone of warmth and intimacy for the day. Despite the unpredictable Florida weather, we seized the opportunity to capture beautiful moments of the newlyweds against the backdrop of the church.

The celebrations moved to the Best Western Gateway Grand for the reception following the ceremony. This venue allowed us to capture some unique moments by the pool, adding an unexpected touch to their wedding collection.

The speeches were a highlight, filled with heartfelt emotions oscillating between laughter and tears. Our expert lighting enhanced these moments - the soft glow from our strobe light created a perfect ambiance for these intimate exchanges.

Our gear for the day, Canon R6 cameras, and the AD200 and AD100 flash units ensured every moment was captured in perfect light. Our style at Art by Light is to add a romantic touch to our images, mirroring the natural and genuine connection between the couple.

A humorous misunderstanding from my part about Kendall's gender added a dash of light-hearted fun to the day. However, the true standout was the palpable love between Esther and Kendall, beautifully encapsulated in their wedding photos.

Our advice for future couples is simple: Stay true to yourselves, enjoy the process, and consider your family's photo wishes. Esther and Kendall's wedding is a testament to the beauty of love and tranquility in wedding photography.
