After they were ready, they explored the inside of the hotel for photos. It was the perfect place to soak in a quiet moment together before the festivities began. Dressed in classic, modern attire that complemented each other so well, the pair radiated style and connection.When Kaela and Hannah where asked if they had any tips for future couples on how to prepare for their wedding photos they said:Hannah: If possible, coordinate an engagement shoot with your wedding photographer before your big day. A great photographer will take the chance to get to know you under less stressful circumstances, so when the day comes, they can make suggestions that they know you will like that you wouldn\u2019t have thought of in the moment.Kaela: Try to have fun, and don\u2019t worry about the camera. Also don\u2019t be afraid to go outside of the box and make sure you\u2019re really showing your personalities. You don\u2019t have to do something just because it\u2019s \u201ctraditional\u201d.Their ceremony took place inside the museum\u2019s Star Gallery. “The Star Gallery is such a gorgeous space, with the ceiling made out to imitate different moments of twilight with starlight sprinkled across. It\u2019s an intimate space that somehow still feels expansive, and it was perfect for these two and their ceremony. The sheer joy that was felt when Kaela and Hannah were announced as married was incredible. I love how excited everyone is for them!” said Raven Shutley of Raven Shutley Studios.After the ceremony, guests were treated to a lively reception where music, dancing, and heartfelt toasts took center stage in the grand hall where giant dinosaurs watched over everyone. The couple\u2019s portraits among the museum\u2019s exhibits and sculptures made for unforgettable keepsakes\u2014combining their love of history, culture, and each other in a visually stunning way.Kaela and Hannah\u2019s wedding was a celebration not just of their union, but of authenticity, community, and love in all its forms. The joy was palpable, the setting unforgettable, and the love?
