KEnda + Garrett // 96 Elite - 9-14-2024


The beauty that filled Garrett & Kenda's wedding day is going to blow you away. Kenda in her dress … the lush fall floral from 49 Floral in Rich Hill, MO … black and white dance floor … stunning reception space architecture … around every corner was another breathtaking view. And yet, by far, the most beautiful part about their celebration was the love these two have for one another. I realize how “cheesy” that sounds, but there is no other way to describe it.

A Few of My Favorite Details

The way Kenda and Garrett adored each other – and the way everyone in the room clearly adored them – was so special. It was fun to capture.


Kenda had a dream and it was brought to life with the help of Kayla at Signature Event Rentals & Coordinating. Kayla brought it all together by planning the whole day for Kenda!


We really love all our bridal parties, but these guys were just so great and on top of everything. I don’t know if bridal parties technically count as a wedding detail, but we just appreciated the sweetness of the girls and the hilarious time we had with the guys. Kenda, Garrett, and their friends made this wedding day so much fun.


Their day would not have been complete without Bridal Bliss DJ Services bringing the party to the dance floor! Watching this couple take the floor with all their family and friends was absolutely amazing.


There was so much to love about this wedding and this couple!
