Stacey & Rick | 10.3.09 Jacksonville, FL Wedding Photographer

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!

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!

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!

Maybe this is where Stacey gets her great sense of humor, her daddy!?  Definitely.

    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!

  2. Heather Ivy says

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. Jenn Vestal says

    The pictures are gorgeous– but NOTHING can do Stacey justice… both the bride and the day were perfect!

  5. Daneri says

    Your attention to detail is beautiful. Relived the event over and over seeing things this time I had not noticed before. Breath taking !

Happy Clients

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.

Jordan

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.
