Happy Anniversary, Mollie & Blake!

May 24, 2025 — KFP Weddings

On year ago, on May 25th...


Mollie & Blake tied the knot!


Also, are you excited?? I'm bringing the BLOG/JOURNAL back. Over the last five or so years with the landscape of social media, the pandemic, AI, all of it I really wasn't sure how I felt about having an online presence in a big way or even any way at all. But you know what, heck it! I think it's time to share some JOY again. And honestly, I've shot some gorgeous stuff in this time. So here goes!


Mollie & Blake have so much fun together. That's apparent. They were surrounded on their day with an enormous wave of love. Everyone was smiling ear to ear. The sun was shining. The lake was placid and sparkly as they exchanged vows.


Happy Anniversary, you two. Cheers to your lifetime of fun and love ahead.


with love,

Kina
