It all started on Valentine’s Day, 2008. They were both attending the Tulare Farm Show with their own high school FFA chapters when their paths crossed. The two chatted and instantly connected.
Six years later, with their degrees in hand, Devin and Kristen remained inseparable. And just as he had secretly planned, Devin lured Kristen by way of a friend to the Performing Arts Theatre in downtown Merced where he had “Kristen will you marry me?” on the marquee sign. Ring in hand, he got down on one knee as she arrived and asked her to be his bride.
And on the most gorgeous spring day, Devin and Kristen married at the Delta Party Barn surrounded by their closest friends and family. There was nothing about this day that wasn’t a beautiful reflection of them. And that made me love everything all the more, from the custom robes for her and her girls to the bright, cheery florals to the rustic barn venue to the wood burned signage at the reception. Every detail seemed to hold a piece of their love story.
Devin and Kristen, my heart is so full of love for you both! I can’t tell you what a honor and JOY it was to capture your wedding day. I hope your years together are ever sweet!!! And I hope you enjoy reliving your most incredible wedding day through a few of my favorite images!

Sweet Blaine covering his eyes from Devin + Kristen’s kiss…
How sweet is their dessert bar?!?
First dance sweetness…
And just as the sun began to set, we headed to a nearby open field for a few portraits…
One of my favorites!
Their love for each other truly radiates joy…
