Our energetic bride & groom, both of whom are of Haitian descent, the Rileys. The Rileys, Natalie and Koltan, are both so thoughtful and earnest and we’re glad that we were able to capture these characteristics of the couple on camera. The two sent very sentimental gifts to one another during their getting-ready segment of the day. Natalie received a lovely gift box, which was filled with images depicting sweet moments the couple shared together over the years, and a beautiful necklace, while Koltan was gifted a fine, black wristwatch and an accessory which had the photos of Koltan’s dearly departed attached to it. As expected, they were both brought to tears at the sight of these lovely gestures.
The couple tied-the-knot on the lovely day of February 19th, 2022, just one week prior to Valentine’s Day, at the Holy Family Catholic Church located in Orlando, Florida. The ceremony was yet another emotional moment the two shared together, as Koltan was brought to tears at the sight of his lovely bride as she was escorted down the aisle while wearing a beautiful, mermaid dress provided by Pandora Bridal (@pandorabridal). Her makeup was fabulously done by @stenzabeautypro and her hair done by @glam_with_shan & @grandiosebeauty_.
After such a touching ceremony, the couple hosted the reception of a lifetime; it was one of the most energy-filled celebrations we’ve had the privilege of capturing. All of the guests waved their Haitian flags high as they raved to the Kompa music, all in celebration of the newlyweds. It was truly a fun time for everyone in attendance.
