An Elegant Celebration Anchored in Family & Style
When Kylie described her wedding vision as white, black, minimalist, elegant, and classic, I knew it would be a beautiful day—rain or shine. Their wedding at The Grayson House delivered on every note: personal, stylish, and full of joy.
A Meaningful Morning with the Girls
Kylie got ready at the Hilton Garden Inn nearby, a refreshing shift from the usual June’s Cottage. The space offered soft natural light and a calm, upbeat vibe as she and her bridesmaids laughed, popped Yes Way Rosé spritz, and soaked in the morning.
After slipping into her Jenny Yoo gown from Blanc De Blanc, Kylie’s bridal portraits were simply stunning—some of my favorite portraits from the season. Her bridesmaids gifted her a keepsake box filled with handwritten letters, marking the start of the day with love and intention.
Kylie shared emotional first looks with both her dad and younger brother, followed by one with her bridesmaids. From the very beginning, it was clear: family was at the heart of everything.
Ceremony Inside The Grayson House
Rain was in the forecast all day, but spirits stayed high. We captured Keith getting ready at the venue, then began portraits of each side of the wedding party. Since Kylie and Keith chose not to do a first look, we saved couple and full bridal party portraits for after the ceremony.
The ceremony took place indoors with the clean white interior of The Grayson House providing a soft, neutral backdrop. Kylie’s bridesmaids wore black, while Keith and his groomsmen were sharp in navy tux jackets with black satin lapels from Generation Tux.
White blooms and greenery by Bella Florals kept things classic and clean. Kylie’s dad walked her down the aisle, and Keith held back tears as he saw her for the first time. The ceremony included heartfelt readings by Keith’s sister and her husband and was officiated by Keith’s uncle, making it deeply personal.
Portraits, Pup Details & a Dance Floor That Never Quit
After the ceremony, we captured family portraits at the altar, then took advantage of a dry window outside for bridal party and bride and groom portraits. The lighting was soft, the rain briefly paused, and we were able to create magic before the drizzle returned.
One of the sweetest personal touches: their pup Maverick was honored throughout the day—from signage to personalized cookies, he was part of the celebration in spirit.
Kylie and Keith’s reception began with high energy—their entrance turned into a full-on dance circle led by their bridal party. That energy only paused for the essentials: cake cutting, toasts, dinner, and parent dances. The music, provided by Galiffa Productions, kept the dance floor packed all evening.
Before heading out, Kylie and Keith snuck outside for some final flash portraits in front of The Grayson House—just the two of them, soaking in the joy of their celebration.
A Beautiful Day, Just as They Envisioned
Despite the rain, every part of Kylie and Keith’s day unfolded beautifully. It was a celebration full of intention, style, and love—and it was an honor to document every moment.
