<p>One bride and groom were positively floating on their wedding day — literally!</p>
<p>On Oct. 26, 2024, Kirby Jay and Corey Isaacks wed while balancing on paddleboards in the middle of Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas. More than half of the couple's 150 wedding guests joined them on the lake, with about 80 guests riding in kayaks and the remaining watching the ceremony seated on Rowing Dock.</p>
<p>"Honestly, it couldn't have turned out better — especially since no one toppled into the water!" Jay tells PEOPLE.</p>

<p>The couple's wedding photographer, Caitlin Warner of Caitlin Rose Photography, tells PEOPLE that Jay made her grand entrance paddling across the lake alongside her parents on their own paddleboards. Her mother also brought the couple's beloved dog, PJ, who was "so well-behaved" the entire time.</p>
<p>Jay met Isaacks and their officiant atop an inflatable water platform, where they said "I do" surrounded by a colorful congregation of kayaks.</p>
<p>"The ceremony ended with a very well-balanced first kiss and eco-friendly confetti from the guests on kayaks," Warner says, with the wedding videographers, husband and wife duo David and Cayla Cummings of Carhart Photography, noting that the confetti poppers made for a "wonderfully energetic conclusion."</p>
<p>Jay wore a white swimsuit and a fishnet tulle skirt for the ceremony, and would later change into her something blue, an elegant light blue gown, at her reception at Two Wishes Ranch. Isaacks opted for a light gray quarter-zip long-sleeve shirt over black shorts for the ceremony, and a classic black tuxedo at the reception.</p>
<p>"Forgoing a traditional gift registry, the couple invited guests to donate to their favorite local animal shelters," Warner adds.</p>

<p>Warner, David and Cayla note that they've never photographed or filmed a celebration like this before in all their years of wedding experience, but that it was a fun challenge.</p>
<p>"This was a new creative challenge that was a joy to be part of with our vendor friends," David and Cayla say. "We were originally asked to film completely via drone, but we were able to create a mix of drone footage and some traditional footage to tell the whole story."</p>
<p>Warner needed a total of three photographers on her team.</p>

<p>"I photographed the ceremony from the dock on digital and film cameras while also capturing aerial drone shots," she says. "Another photographer focused on zoom and wide shots. We also had one photographer in a kayak capturing the views from a guest perspective on the water! No cameras were dropped in the process! Everyone was on board to capture this unique ceremony in the best way possible."</p>

<p>The bride and groom's "unconventional" wedding idea surfaced long before the couple got engaged, though it was more about getting married on the lake than it was about the paddleboards.</p>

<p>"We were at a restaurant overlooking another stretch of the Colorado River, and we just started talking about our future wedding and how cool it would be to get married out there," Jay remembers.</p>
<p>She continues: "Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake) has always been a special place for us. When we first started dating, Corey lived in an apartment right on the path that goes all the way around the lake, and we spent most of our free time training for marathons."</p>
<p>Although their "original vision was much more elaborate," including having the kayaks form a true aisle and PJ swimming down as the ring bearer, the couple's wedding still came out perfectly.</p>
