Stephanie & Tyler | 4.20.14 Casa Marina Wedding Jacksonville, FL

May 9, 2014 by admin

I met Tyler almost 10 years ago when he and my sister were doing the radiology program at Shands. So needless to say, we were already pretty comfortable with each other! Then when he got engaged to the lovely Stephanie, I fell in love with her too while they started planning their wedding. I think they met with me over two years ago before they officially had a date, and then texted me while at the Casa Marina to make sure I was still available for the date they were looking at (way to make a girl feel special!)

I don’t think they realized at the time that the date they had chosen would fall on Easter Sunday, but I think it made it all the more special. Stephanie worked her booty off on making all the details special, and there were even a few surprises, including her mom dancing with a troupe of Flamenco dancers! (Stephanie’s parents met in Spain and they wanted to include some of the culture in their special day).

On to the photos!

Do I need to point out how gorgeous her eyes are??

The guys received flasks as groomsmen gifts and kept pulling them out at inopportune times….so I told the girls to go for them!

That’s Stephanie’s mom in the yellow….AH-mazing:

Needless to say, we had fun with you guys. Thanks for a great Easter day!

Stunning!!! Congratulations to you both!

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.

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.
