Kayla and Aziz’s wedding ceremony was a stunning celebration of love and fellowship at The Franklin Road Church of Christ. Followed by an elegant celebration at the Stones River Country Club. With EllaJay Photography and Captive Visuals Videography behind the lens, every beautiful detail was artfully captured, and every precious moment with loved ones was lovingly preserved, forever etched in their memories.



Kayla began her day with her bride tribe by her side. The bride and her maids were pampered and prepped at the Stones River Country Club by the expert styling duo of Keandrea Eason and Cynthia Anderson. With impeccable hair and flawlessly applied makeup, they looked nothing short of stunning!

After finishing hair and makeup, Kayla’s mother, Kathey, helped her into the stunning wedding dress. The gown delicately outlines her curved as it plunged into a vanishing back. With delicate straps, intricate lace, and a deep v neckline she was picture perfect. Her beautiful bridal look was completed with a bejewled headband and cathedral length veil.



Following the bridal bonding, Kayla stepped out for a grand reveal with her eagerly waiting bridesmaids. Squeals of delight, love and laughter could be heard as one by one the bridesmaids turned to get their first glimpse of the bride. With a stunning gown, radiant smile and an energy that only comes with such special occasions, the bride was truly a sight to behold. To commemorate this momentous occasion, each bridesmaid was given a piece of jewelry as a token of his love and appreciation. After hugs all around, they were off to take some incredible photos!



The big day is finally here! Aziz and his groomsmen were so excited they were even ready early. Clearly, he’s been waiting for this day all his life. Knowing he was feeling all sorts of emotions, his groomsmen kept the tone at The Stones River Country Club light and happy. Donning his burgundy tuxedo. Straightening his tie. The big day is finally here, and he couldn’t be more excited!


On this beautiful day at the Stones River Country Club, Kayla and Aziz sat quietly before heading to church to read love letters they’ve written to each other. In lieu of a first look, they each opened their envelopes and started reading. The anticipation and excitement in the air was electric. There’s something so special about taking a quiet moment to reflect on why you love your partner. Aziz’s eyes misted over as he read about how Kayla fell for his laugh. Kayla couldn’t help but smile as she read about how she makes Aziz feel like he can conquer the world. In a world where everything seems to move so quickly, it’s moments like this that remind us to slow down. Savor the love that brought us to this moment.



Kayla’s engagement ring quickly caught everyone’s attention – and for good reason. The pear-shaped center stone was beautifully encircled by a delicate halo of diamonds, exquisitely complemented by the diamond wedding band that Aziz personally chose for her. The pair together were simply stunning, just like them, leaving admirers in awe.




The groomsmen created the perfect backdrop for their lead man on is wedding day. Attired in matching dark black tuxedos with crisp white shirts, they all looked incredibly handsome. Their GQ look was completed with the addition of burgundy pocket squares, coordinating bowties and deep red boutonnieres. They were magazine cover ready…and such a fun group! They didn’t stop dancing, singing and joking around keeping the atmosphere light and festive the entire day.




The bridesmaids matched in dusty rose, but mismatched in style which created a delightful visual as they stood at the altar. They perfectly complimented the elegant dress chosen for the bride. They looked absolutely perfect for this beautiful spring wedding. Their white and deep red bouquets really popped against their silky satin gowns.















The Franklin Road Church of Christ, Kayla’s home church since she was a child, was the perfect location for the wedding ceremony. Pastor Flemming united them in matrimony with a ceremony that brought laughter and happy tears to all in attendance. Kayla and Aziz took part in a sand unity ceremony, blending their two souls into one. The couple said their vows in front of family and friends, all of whom were touched by the love between them. Once the rings were exchanged, they kissed and were pronounced husband and wife. We wish Kayla and Aziz nothing but happiness as they embark on this new journey together!



We need to put the spotlight on these adorable little angels, Rylin and Rowen. They took on their wedding duties with utmost seriousness. These two cuties were focused on doing the very best job. Rylin took small steps as she walked down the aisle, scattering flower petals, and looking absolutely precious in her dress. Rowen smiled and waves to all gathered as he was carted down the aisle, much to the delight of the guests. Their efforts will be cherished memories for the wedding couple for years to come. Just the cutest, sweetest little kiddos ever!








Having met at the Franklin Road Church of Christ, what started as a friendship blossomed into love. After a year of dating, the Aziz asked Kayla’s father, Robin permission to propose. Delighted with the man who would soon be his new son, he enthusiastically agreed. Aziz popped the big question over a quiet dinner at home and now they’re both excited to be at the beginning of a new chapter together as husband and wife. Their wedding day was filled with love and laughter. Maybe even a few happy tears. It’s is definitely a day that they’ll remember forever. We are just so happy for this beautiful couple!





The gorgeous blush, burgundy, champagne and ivory halos of flowers and greenery highlighted each table. Accented with tall glass cylinders with floating candles gave the room a warm romantic glow. These beautiful wreaths were the perfect accent for an elegant wedding at the Stones River Country Club. And who could not be bowled over by Kayla’s beautiful bridal white bouquet of lilies, hydrangea, carnations and roses. Such a stunning array of blossoms!

This tradition always gets us tearing up. Kayla and her Dad, Robin was certainly no exception. It was absolutely clear that she is the apple of his eye. The dance they shared is a sweet reminder of the bond that they share and always will. A moment to cherish forever.




Now, Aziz, who was raised by his grandmother Connie hit the ground running! It was quite clear that these two share an incredibly special bond. Swinging her up, down and around the dance floor, these two tore it up to The Twist and Rock Around the Clock. They were such a hit! Cheers, whistles and happy shouts could be heard all around as these two showed off their superior dance moves.



There were many speeches – some sweet and others silly. However, they were all perfectly balanced by the heartwarming speech from Kayla’s father, Robin. This proud papa was overjoyed that his daughter found her perfect match. Everyone was overjoyed to welcome the bride and groom to each other’s side of the family. We know they all look forward to making many memories together for years to come.
