Rick + Stacey | An Orlando Engagement

I had a super busy week last week!  After the workshop in Gainesville I headed further south so I could meet up with my great friends Rick and Stacey.  They’ve been engaged for a little while now but it took us forever to find a date that worked with everyone’s schedules!  It was nice to explore new places as I have never shot in Orlando before.  I can’t wait for their wedding in October at the Sawgrass Marriott in Jacksonville!

A quick fact about these two – back in the day when I was a freshman in college at UCF, Rick hired me to work for Bob Knight Photo.  Through the course of that job I met, fell in love with and married Ryan.  🙂  Stacey also worked for Bob Knight and we became quick friends, so when all us friends decided to fall in love it just turned into a big mushy place to work!  8 years later I’m still doing a bit of work with Ryan for Bob Knight, who does mostly graduations.  Just thought you might like a bit ‘o history!  How ironic that I got to photograph the guy who taught me to load a roll of film….talk about pressure!

I think this is my favorite from the whole session:

We got more casual and walked around Winter Park with their boxer, Tyson!  He’s totally posing in this one:

I also got a sneak peek of Stacey’s wedding dress!!  Definitely made me even more excited to photograph their wedding…not to mention a ton of my friends will be there so I’ll have lots of assistants running around!  🙂

    I have shot at this location several times and it is so fun to see someone else go to the same place and pick out totally different locations in the gardens! The lighting is beautiful and (of course) so are Rick and Stacey! Congrats guys . . . and congrats Ky for capturing such perfect pictures =)

The BEST investment I made for our wedding day was definitely booking Kylene and Ryan Studios! It was such a blessing to have you both there to capture all of the PERFECT moments of that day. You all made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the lens and all around were pleasant to be around.

Kylene and Ryan are the worlds best photographers! Not only did I love every picture they took but they also were great to work with. I am not the greatest when it comes to taking pictures and knowing what I might like but they knew exactly what I wanted even when I didn’t. I would highly recommend them for every event.

Ellen

They were the absolute best! So friendly, so fun and professional. The photos were amazing and they took the time to get some of the more ridiculous shots I requested. BONUS: they were amazing with our nephew. He is autistic. He was our ring-bearer and was having a difficult day, which isn’t unexpected for a day like that. Could not recommend enough.

Nora

Hands down, I would recommend Kylene & Ryan to anyone in a heartbeat. We used them for our engagement photos, a boudoir shoot for me, and our wedding photography. Every single time we saw their work, we were blown away. What first drew us to them was their beautiful work–but what also hooked us was how incredibly fun, sweet, professional, and hard-working they are.

Jenna

Wow, what an incredible experience! It was such a joy working with this team. They had us laughing and enjoying every minute of our special day. And the pictures are STUNNING! They really went above and beyond to create unique and memorable moments we will cherish always.
