Katie and Atheer {The Starting Gate Wedding}

Katie and Atheer’s The Starting Gate wedding day was a perfect blend of intimacy, love, and joy. Their celebration at The Starting Gate at GreatHorse was a dream come true.

The day began with a touch of nostalgia as Atheer prepared for his special day with his father at his childhood home. Meanwhile, Katie, surrounded by her mother and sister, embraced the excitement in the bridal suite at The Starting Gate.

Their first look was a moment of pure magic. The emotions were sweet and genuine, and it was evident how deeply in love Katie and Atheer are. Their laughter and excitement were contagious! They chose to privately exchange their vows and Katie’s ring, a truly intimate moment filled with tears of joy and tender smiles.

One of our favorite parts of the day was exploring a new spot at The Starting Gate for their portraits. The beautiful green golf course, a little waterfall, and tall, swaying grasses provided the perfect backdrop for their stunning photos. We even had a little fun when Atheer took over the camera for a shot that will surely blow you away! Just wait until you see it!!!

The ceremony was a beautiful reflection of their love. We loved the unique touch of passing their rings around for guests to bless.

Their reception was a celebration to remember! From their first dance to Katie and Atheer’s heartfelt speech, and the hilarious toasts, every moment was filled with laughter and love. The brunch was delicious and dance floor was packed all day long.

Katie and Atheer, thank you for choosing us to capture your special day. We wish you a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness!
