Katherine and Tom’s June wedding was nothing short of a fairytale. Highlights included the display of wedding dresses from past generations, a nostalgic sign marking the spot where their love story began, the stunning photos taken on the royal staircase, and a dreamy sunset color palette that wove through the day. We also can’t forget one of the most important details, the rings, which came from the premier Siebke Hoyt Jewelers.

The incredible Rebecca Lillian Photography captured every moment, but one detail we’re swoon over is a note Tom wrote to Katherine when they first met. She kept it for their wedding day, and it read: “You just left, and all I can think about is that hopefully this is just the beginning.” –Tom
