Another successful rain dance! It was forecasted to pour all day yesterday (and did all morning) but when I arrived at First Baptist Church of Tallahassee for Steph and Mike’s wedding the rain stopped, clouds parted, and the sun shined! Stephanie deserved nothing less for her wedding day that she’s been planning for…forever! Radiant is the only word I can use to describe how she looked and acted all day long. She kept her cool through rain, a cold sore, sick flower girl, and the rest of the typical wedding day stress. I hope you guys are enjoying your cruise! Can’t wait for your Trash the Dress session!
The beautiful flowers were designed by Sheri Smith of Snapdragon Events:
Steph and Mike’s “First Look”:
One of my favorite details from my own wedding were the rose petal cones that we put together. I was so happy Steph wanted to do the same thing! I helped her design them, and I can do the same for YOU, just ask!
The boys tried to steal the show:
But they had a bit of competition:
I loved Stephanie’s expression as she looked at her dad walking down the aisle:
She was giddy through the whole ceremony! She just couldn’t contain her excitement to finally be marrying Mike:
Putting those rose petal cones to good use….I love this shot:
There were some crazy dance moves going on!
We snuck outside for a quick frolic in the woods:
And Stephanie waited until we were in the middle of a briar patch to let us know she didn’t have any shoes on!
So Mike carried her into the middle of the trees for one last shot:

Awesome job, Kylene…. I love the image in the forest _ you made it look romantic and I can’t ever do that. I am so envious. I am going to attempt some romancing images next weekend for a Miami Wedding so stay tuned two month from now when I finally edited them. j/k
Thanks for all the comments… Annabella is getting so big it excites me. She is starting pre pre-school this week for three hours a day just two days a week. But I am looking forward to the gym and promote time for me.
Hope to see you soon…. keep up the great work.

We are AWESOME!!!!! 🙂 🙂 Love you!!!
Proud Husband says
They look great as usual! I am glad that Stephanie’s day turned out to be brilliant. It is deserving that the bride who practically hired a photographer before she even got engaged was able to get the wedding (and pictures) she dreamed of. I love you, and will be back soon
Sam (Mike's Sister) says
The pictures turned out GREAT!!! I know that Michael and Stephanie are going to love them! You did a wonderful job! My favorite is the one in the middle of the woods! It’s perfect!!! I can’t wait to see the rest of them! You’re awesome! 🙂
Jackie "The Other SoulMate" says
Gotta love those actions! Girl, as usual, YOU ROCK! Can’t wait to see you soon–I just hope I can walk on my own =)

Kylene, these are lovely! I especially like the details and the shots taken in the woods.
Beth Carter says
Kylene – you did a great job on these!! Stephanie and Mike are new friends of ours from our church in Lakeland. I’m so excited that you posted these! I’m going to email the link to our entire small group as none of us were able to make it to the wedding. PS. I think the dip kiss in the woods should be a huge wall portrait!
Stephanie LEWIS!! says

Ciara (the friend that she vents to about the WEDDING) says
