We always look forward to our weddings, but this one was particularly special since Ashley & Sam have become great friends of ours. We met Sam about 2 years ago in a networking group we’re in, and as soon as he popped the question to Ashley he was asking us about photography. I knew Ashley was spending a lot of time planning her dream wedding, and the whole day just shined with all of her personal touches. She was cool as a cucumber about the rain that kept popping up, and the entire day just felt fun (instead of like work). 😉
We know you’re having a blast in California, but take a second to sit down and reminisce on your day! Love you guys!

The advantage of having two photographers, both angles for the First Look! These guys made the rain look good: Missy’s flowers never disappoints…NEVER! Does this remind anyone else of “Cuckoo” from Sound of Music? Their wonderful coordinator Tom Hunt with a big grin on his face: We’re married! They ordered a clear tent at the last minute since the forecast wasn’t looking too favorable, and it ended up looking so cool! “A Party without Cake is just a meeting”: Emma was the coolest matron of honor ever, if you can’t tell by her toasting drink of choice: Motorcycle getaway! Let’s do it again next weekend, what do you say guys? LOVE YOU!! Just a fun behind-the-scenes shot of how we create some of our images. Ryan holding a flash for me!

We loved getting to meet you Nancy and spend time with your family! Such a special day!
Tom Hunt says
Oh My GOD!!!! Kylene, you are a brilliant photographer! You know, as coordinator you reflect and wonder if the day was a success…..your photographs are validation that it was, and so so much more. Ashley and Sam are such special people, individually, and as a couple; and you have created a stunning record of perhaps the most important day of their lives. You were undaunted by the rain and I am overwhelmed by your beautiful pictures. I look forward to working with you again.
