It’s moments like this I wish I was a better writer. I have good grammar and all, but when it comes to eloquently explaining how wonderful two people are I just can’t find the right words.
So I’ll just state it plainly – Rick and Stacey of two of our dearest friends and it was an amazing honor to photograph their wedding yesterday. They are just so perfect together and I always have a smile on my face when they’re around (especially Stacey, she’s hilarious). 🙂
I was super excited until the night before their wedding when I realized not only is Rick a photographer, but all the groomsmen are too. Super…as if I needed any more ammo for the guys to rag on me. 🙂 But they were all super fun and didn’t pick on me when I asked them to do all kinds of silly stuff….thanks guys. You see, Rick hired me 8 years ago to work as a photographer and taught me how to load a roll of film. Never in a million years would I have guessed I’d be shooting HIS wedding all these years later!
I’ll warn you now, this is the longest blog post I’ve ever put together. I knew so many people at the wedding and had so much fun, so I picked a ton to post. Sorry if it seems indulgent, but hopefully most of you will enjoy it! Let’s get it started!
Ceremony & Reception: The Marriott Hotel at Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida
Flowers and all decor: the incredible Heather Ivy
Cake: Laura McCowan
Makeup artist: the amazing Jenny Knight (904)866-6063
Hair stylist: Justine at The Spa at Tre Salon
Disc Jockey: Joel from Progressive Entertainment
Loving the gorgeous bouquets that Heather put together!
It was hard to get her to stop smiling, but I like this one once she cooperated. 🙂
This is my new favorite picture of a groom ever! All he had to do was stand there and not smile, easy!
Oh my gosh this one gives me goosebumps….Rick, I know you’ve got them too!
Details galore make me smile!
Cutest ring bearer and flower girl march EVER! After he ran off, she stopped right in the middle and just looked around at all the cameras on her, then he came back to help her the rest of the way. TJ is Stacey’s nephew (who I got to photograph when he was a newborn!) and Katie is Rick’s niece. 🙂
This is what I meant when I said Stacey is hilarious – first kiss, then a high five of course!
Something a little different for their first dance:
Maybe this is where Stacey gets her great sense of humor, her daddy!? Definitely.
Me and my buddies. Congrats guys!
Me and the fabulousness that is Jackie Ihnenfeld…this is how much fun it is to shoot a wedding with me!

Fabulous!!! You know, I’ve known you for years, so of course I know how great your work is, but you have surprised and amazed me once again! Thanks so much for everything (and Jackie too)! Can’t wait to trash the dress sometime soon!

Everything is so great, I want to see more more more! I can’t get enough:) you have a great eye lady, and you know your equipment too. I hope we can work together again soon.

Stunning as always! Every shot looks perfect! Great job Kylene!
Ryan says
They look great, especially the ones with TPC Sawgrass #17 in the background. And if you look hard enough, you can see hole #16 where Rick made an EAGLE on Friday.

I don’t know all about the fabulousness that is me, but clearly the fabulousness of the day was these two! Holy Cow . . . they are AMAZING! It was such a fun day. Everything was perfect–just perfect. Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of capturing such a fantastic day. Every time I turned around I realized I was surrounded by so many fun and happy people . . . it made for an easy job!
