Kilworth Memorial Chapel set the stage perfectly for this heartfelt ceremony. Nestled in Tacoma, the chapel's charm and understated elegance complemented Nia and Eliah’s classic style. The chapel was filled with family and friends, each person ready to celebrate not just Nia and Eliah's marriage but the love and devotion that had led them to this day. What made the ceremony even more special was the music. Close friends of the couple performed songs during the ceremony, their voices carrying through the chapel with pure emotion. These performances struck a chord with everyone present, leaving tears streaming down faces and creating an atmosphere so full of love it was almost tangible.
From the vows exchanged to the quiet moments of prayer, all eyes were on Nia and Eliah as they promised to honor each other and their faith for the rest of their lives.
Most love stories start with chance encounters or first dates, but Nia and Eliah's bond began years before they even thought of falling in love. They met in middle school, their lives intertwining early in friendship. Little did they know, this friendship was laying the foundation for something much deeper. It wasn’t until after high school that they felt the spark of love. Their connection grew naturally from their shared faith and values. Their love for God brought them closer, deepening not just their bond with each other but also their spiritual connection. Their wedding day beautifully expressed the deep roots of their relationship and the essential role faith has always played in their lives.
After a ceremony filled with love and heartfelt moments, we stepped outside as the sun began to set. Golden hour greeted us, wrapping Nia and Eliah in its warm, romantic light. It’s hard to describe just how magical these moments were, but the photos speak for themselves. The brick facade became the perfect backdrop for this glowing couple. Nia’s elegant white gown and Eliah’s classic white suit were striking against the subtle tones of the building and staircase. Every step, every pose, every glance between them told a story of love that was deep, effortless, and truly timeless. These golden hour portraits are some of my favorites. They captured everything that made Nia and Eliah’s day special - their unwavering connection and the ease with which they brought out the best in each other.
Nia and Eliah’s wedding wasn’t just a celebration of their love for each other; it was a celebration of the God they credit for bringing them together. Each part of the day, from the soulful music in the ceremony to the joyful embraces of family and friends, carried their faith's threads.
Being a part of their wedding day was an honor I won’t forget. It wasn’t about the grand gestures, but the quiet, heartfelt moments that made this day so extraordinary.
