Kiley & Erica’s love of Christmas brings a sleigh, Christmas tree, and more, creating this family-focused, Stroudsmoor winter wedding. This wedding takes place at Auradell on the Stroudsmoor Country Inn grounds. It also joins two families of three, into a fun-loving blended family of six!
Why Rhinehart Photography?
The couple shares, “Lisa was one of the photographers suggested by our venue. We narrowed it down to two choices, but after speaking to Lisa on the phone we both immediately knew that she was “the one”. We loved her genuine personality and the fact that she wanted to get to know us on a personal level to capture our most intimate and important moments.”
Erica says, “For someone who doesn’t like to be the center of attention and does not enjoy having my picture taken Lisa was absolutely amazing at making me feel comfortable and made the whole process enjoyable.”
Kiley adds, “I believe Lisa is best at capturing authentic moments!“
The couple continues, “It was amazing working with Lisa there was never a question of what would happen next or what we should do. We felt so comfortable and calm as Lisa is very organized, professional and detail-oriented. We are both hoping that the love that we have for each other is captured in our pictures.”
Why Stroudsmoor Country Inn?
They share, “We both picked Stroudsmoor Country Inn because of the beautiful scenery and we both loved the Auradell because our ceremony was intimate and it was the perfect cozy space to accommodate our small family group.”
About Erica
Kiley smiles, “I love Erica’s caring and compassionate nature, she is always thinking of others and so kind. I love her sense of humor and she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. I could not ask for a better soul mate and wife.”
About Kiley
Erica smiles, “I appreciate the kindness, compassion, and the love that Kiley shows to me and everyone who matters to him. He is the least selfish person I have ever met and I am lucky to call him my husband.”
Stroudsmoor Winter Wedding First Look
The couple shares, “We connected on our first date and from that first date we did not spend much time apart. Both of us came out of long-term unsuccessful marriages so we knew what we wanted in life and in each other, we found the qualities that mattered most to each of us. We are best friends and love spending our time together.”
They add, “For the first look, Ridgecrest could not have been any more breathtaking.”
This first look was *stunning*! The mountain view, the laughter, and the tears with beautiful bridesmaids– Erica is right, it was breathtaking!
Stroudsmoor Winter Wedding Party
The couple shares, “We both love Christmas – it is our favorite holiday. The holiday sleigh gave such a Christmas & winter wonderland vibe.”
The wedding party consisted of the couple’s children– so sweet! The sleigh was also a super fun addition to the family photos…

At the End of the Night…
Kiley shares, “I felt extreme happiness and excitement that I was finally able to marry my partner and soul mate. Appreciation that all of those we love and care about were able to attend physically the service and sadness for those few who are no longer with us.”
Erica concludes, “On the day of the wedding, I was so excited to finally call Kiley my husband. We had been together for so long but now we are finally taking it to another level. There was so much emotion – joy, love, passion, and so much excitement. I cherished every single moment from walking down the aisle and seeing my future husband waiting for me, our first dance – a thousand years – had so much meaning.”
