There’s just something about a wedding at RiverHaven Events Center that feels timeless yet modern, and Kylie & Ian’s day captured that balance beautifully! From her chic details to their emotional first looks and the way they laughed through the entire day together, this wedding was everything I love about celebrating love in a space that feels both romantic and effortlessly fresh. Kylie and Ian made the day their own while keeping all the heart, and it was such a joy to capture every moment!

Dreamy Wedding Details From A Wedding at RiverHaven Events Center

Kylie’s details were classic with a modern twist, and they set the perfect tone for the day. From pearl-trimmed shoes to simple gold jewelry to their elegant vow books, everything felt polished but still personal. The florals were soft and romantic, blending neutral tones with pops of peach and blush that caught the light beautifully. Even the flat lay pieces, rings, perfume, and stationery, felt like they belonged in a love story. It was a reminder that the little details really do help tell the bigger picture of a wedding day.

Getting Ready at RiverHaven Events Center

Inside RiverHaven, the natural light poured through the windows as Kylie slipped into her gown with the help of her mom, such a sweet and tender moment between the two of them. The space felt calm but buzzing with anticipation, and you could feel the excitement building as final touches came together. The laughter, the happy tears, the last-minute hugs… this part of the day always feels so special, and Kylie made it all look effortlessly elegant.

First Look & Bride and Groom Portraits

One of the most emotional moments of the day was their first look. Ian’s face lit up the second he saw Kylie, and it was impossible not to feel the joy in that moment. They shared private vows outside the venue, surrounded by stone walls and greenery, which made the whole scene feel timeless and intimate. Later, as the sun set, we captured golden hour portraits on the RiverHaven grounds, with that glowing light wrapping them up in warmth. These portraits were equal parts romantic and playful, so “them” in every way!

Bridal Party Portraits

Talk about a fun crew! The bridal party looked incredible in emerald green dresses and sleek black suits, such a modern, stylish palette. But even more than their looks, this group brought the energy. There were jokes, big laughs, and so many candid moments that made it clear how loved Kylie & Ian are by their people. Portraits with them were less about posing and more about celebrating, and it gave the whole gallery so much personality!

The ceremony was filled with emotion, sunlight, and a view of the river that made the whole moment feel serene. Kylie and Ian exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family, with laughter breaking through tears more than once. That balance of joy and sentiment made it feel personal and heartfelt in the best way. And of course, the first kiss with the water glistening in the background was the perfect exclamation point on such a meaningful ceremony.

Romantic Reception at RiverHaven

The reception space at RiverHaven was styled in a way that felt both elegant and welcoming. Crisp white linens, glowing candles, and golden accents created a modern yet romantic vibe. Guests mingled under the warm light of the chandeliers, toasts were filled with both humor and heart, and once the music started, the dance floor didn’t slow down. It was the kind of reception where every guest felt fully part of the celebration, and you could see Kylie & Ian soaking it all in together!
