This Romantic Garden Wedding Started With The Sweetest First Look

A romantic garden wedding alone can have us in our feelings so fast, but this one started with a first look that will simply melt your heart! Adriana and Cody tied the knot in a stunning outdoor soiree held on private family property that made for a stylish and intimate ceremony, tented reception, and a night of heartwarming toasts and dancing. After having to make two cuts due to social distancing guidelines, their final guest list consisted of parents, siblings, and bridal party. Some key members of the family even had to miss out due to COVID-19, but Adriana and Cody stayed strong and didn’t let it put a damper on their day – at the requests of all who couldn’t come! They live-streamed their ceremony so everyone could still take part and made the most of their big day with the people who were able to be present. String lighting and florals galore made this dreamy evening captured by Rkm Photography, LLC one to remember. Read on for a tear-jerking note from the bride about her favorite memory from their romantic garden wedding, a sweet moment exchanged between her groom and her adorable six-year-old daughter during Adriana and Cody’s first look. Cheers to the Kinghams!

From the bride: “During our first look Cody surprised my six-year-old daughter with a ring that looks a lot like a diamond tiara. He knelt down in front of her, presented the pretty box, and told her from that day forward she was his ‘forever princess/daughter.’ I’m pretty sure we all teared up.”
