Just married and just magic. That’s the only way to describe Derald and Kierra’s wedding day at Iron & Ember Events.

What makes this even more special? Derald is the talented entertainer behind DG Visionaries, so he’s usually the one creating wedding magic for other couples. This time, he got to step in front of the camera for his own big day – and the love was absolutely infectious.

Iron & Ember’s stunning grounds were the perfect setting. Those rolling green lawns and mature trees created pure magic, especially during golden hour when that warm light made everything glow. From sweet kisses to bursts of laughter, every moment felt like it was shot straight from the heart.

You can see the genuine joy in every photo – From Derald jumping with excitement while holding Kierra’s hand to the playful golf cart shots. This couple knows how to have fun together, and it shows in every single frame.

After years of helping create perfect wedding moments for others, seeing Derald get his own magical celebration feels like the vision coming full circle. Derald and Kierra’s golden hour wedding was pure sunshine, and we couldn’t be happier for them.
