This was the third wedding they planned together, and it felt like an eternity. When more plans fell through for their wedding in March, Kalli and Evin took matters into their own hands and decided it was time to be done waiting. They were ready to finally be married!! 

In under a week, they planned a small, intimate, and beautiful ceremony at Union Station surrounded by just a few family members. The day was simple, yet stunningly elegant. 

Kalli's grey dress, her Tom shoes, and her small bouquet of fresh flowers all matched perfectly - it's amazing what you can put together in just a few days! 

Kalli got ready at home, surrounded by her beloved cats. 

The light behind their house was stunning and made her red hair and lips POP with color!! 

So gorgeous! I'm so glad the sun made an appearance! :) 

Evin was adorably nervous, but was so relieved to see his bride and get married already. :) 

We found a private balcony at Union Station that was out of the way so we wouldn't be bothered. 

My husband officiated the wedding, and it was such a huge honor for us both to be there to support them as they start their new life together. 

(Notice the maintenance guys in the background? Apparently we didn't pick a very private balcony!!) 

Yay!! Married!! 

The light, structure, and decor at Union Station was SO fun to photograph!! I really could've stayed there forever. :) 

So gorgeous, Kalli! :) 

It was chilly and snowy outside, but we kept warm by telling jokes and giggling lots. :)

Love that red hair! 

Favorite!! SO cute!! 

Kalli and Evin, congratulations on FINALLY being married! It's about time, am I right?? Sunil and I were so thrilled to be able to spend New Years Eve with you, and we're so so happy for you guys as you start your new life together. Love you lots! :) 

Their story is long and complex. Full of drama, patience, tenderness, and years of waiting. Along the way they've planned two full weddings, only to have their dreams crushed each time as they pick up the pieces of their hopes to try again. 

Kalli and Evin have a long history, and as such they have this comfortable way of falling into place next to each other so naturally. 

Evin LOVES their height difference - a trait others may find awkward - so we giggled and laughed about through their session. 

With Kalli being very short, and Evin being very tall, it's hard not to smile when you see them side-by-side!! :)

The location they chose for their engagement session was the park in which Evin proposed. 

I made them retell their story as we made it to the bridge where he proposed and tempted her with this beautiful ring!! 

I can't wait to be a part of their wedding day soon, and I'm SO happy that God has worked in their lives to give them such immense joy. :) 

Kalli and Evin, I'm SO thankful that you've included me in this amazing (if not stressful) celebration of your patient love for each other. I know this wedding will be worth the wait (you're pretty much pros now!), and I'm so excited to see you guys FINALLY get married!! Love you both! :)
