These two…oh my oh my!! Let me tell you one of the things that I just LOVED about these two…they laughed…nonstop!! Their laughter was so infectious! Katelyn and Zach were insanely easy going. She chose the location and I have to say, I was BEYOND impressed. I was also impressed by Zach! Some grooms have some difficulty cutting loose and enjoying the moments but he kept saying how much fun he was having. TOTAL WIN!
