Wednesday

Wednesday started with a trip to the park where we met friends and had lunch...

Then it was off to start taking pictures of my niece's wedding. You can see more of the professional photographs by clicking here but these are some of my favorite candid shots:
First is a pic of me & the beautiful bride, just to prove that I was there since I spent the majority of my time behind the camera...

We ran into a little snag when Kylie had some second thoughts and Stew had to beg and plead to get her to come down and marry him...(not really, but it makes for an interesting story, don't ya think?)

I absolutley love this picture. Kylie says it's a bit embarassing but she just started sobbing and Shelly said "Oh, Baby, what's wrong?" and Kylie said "I'm just so HAPPY!" and they cried together for a few minutes...

And here is her mother and younger sister helping to fluff her dress and get it just right...

Isn't she lovely?

A sweet kiss from the darling ring bearer...

And here is Stewart's first look at his beautiful bride...
Look at him stare at her!
He just
COULD

NOT

STOP!

Kylie & her sister Kelsey...

Here we were trying to get the youngest boy to kiss Kylie's cheek but he was a bit confused with everything...

They ended up knocking the bride onto her behind...

But here he is, determined to get to his daddy and be included in the shot of the groomsmen...

And here he is again, having a bit of a melt-down right before his walk down the aisle...

One of the funnest parts of the day was spending so much time with this adorable little lady...she is also my niece, the youngest daughter of my sister, Kristen. Isabelle is hilarious and had all sorts of things to say during our photo shoot. We even played several rounds of hide-and-seek and various games that I'm pretty sure she invented...

Here she is giving an enthusiastic thumbs-up during the ceremony...

Heading downstairs as the ceremony begins...

Kylie's mother, Shelly, walked her down the aisle and they both looked absolutley stunning...

I love the look on Stewart's face...

During the ceremony the Pastor was trying to speak but Stew couldn't help himself and leaned over to whisper something in his bride's ear...

Exchanging vows...

First kiss as husband and wife!

Leaving the ceremony...

Kylie & Kelsey share a hug after the ceremony...

Kylie with her Grandmother...

My brother helping the ladies out by holding their accessories...

Never mind that THREE of my ex-boyfriends were at the wedding, these three little men were BY FAR much better looking than any guy there!

It was pretty surprising to see a photograph that I had taken show up on a bottle of wine!

Their first dance...

Here Kylie was informing Stewart not to shove the cake in her face or she would be upset...Stewart was forced to decide between his wife's precautions and the taunts of the crowd...

Hugging the beautiful bride good-bye...

I'm so happy that she's so happy!

Congratulations Kylie and Stewart, and thanks for letting me be a part of your day!
