Melissa Kyle Photography: weddings

Yesterday my sister-in-law (Ashley) and her husband (Eli) came to Salina to take pictures of Ben and I. We needed some updated pictures for us and since my sister is AMAZING at photography (seriously go check out her work at http://www.ashleyelizabethphotographyblog.blogspot.com)
we asked if she would come and take our pictures.
So they decided to make a day of it and we had a total BLAST hanging out with them!

Something that Ash and I have wanted to do was to take pictures together in our wedding dresses. So yesterday we decided if we had time then we would get the wedding dresses out and take some pictures together and then with our handsome men! I'm so glad that we decided to do this. It was so much fun, and I loved getting back into my wedding dress. Now since our husbands are spouses of Photographers we let them get behind the camera while Ash and I posed. They did such a good job, with a little training of course.
Some of the pictures Ash, took with my camera or Eli took with my camera while Ben had Ash's camera. I edited them and got her permission to put my watermark on them. Just wanted to clarify that.

Ash and Eli are so darn cute together. Ash is just completely gorgeous as you will see in these pictures. And Eli, you aren't to bad yourself ;) Love you both so very much! Thank you for driving down to take Ben and my pictures and hanging out with us!

*Be sure to check out Ash's Photography blog in the next few days for a sneak peek of Ben and my pic's.

The time has finally arrived that many people have been waiting for, the Fager wedding pictures! Hip, Hip, HOORAY!!!
I was so blessed and honored to be able to take my brothers wedding pictures for him and his wife Jaimie! It was a gorgeous wedding, and I love looking at these pictures and re-living that day all over again.
This was my first outdoor wedding to take pictures for, and it was so fun to be in natural lighting, and use nature for so many backdrops during the ceremony, and before the ceremony.
It was a beautiful day, except for one thing. The wind was CRAZY! We had to tie some things down and add some shelter walls of the tents so the cake wouldn't blow over, and the plastic white chairs kept having a domino effect and falling over while people were trying to sit. However Jaimie was an amazing bride and just went with the flow, because at the end of the day she was going to marry the man of her dreams and you could tell that was all that she cared about :)
(In some of the pictures you can't even tell that it was crazy windy, so that was a plus)
I am so glad that my brother found the love of his life! As I was taking pictures of their wedding, I had to hide behind my camera at times because I would tear up, but then I couldn't see through my camera to take the picture. :) They were happy tears of course, because they are perfect for each other, and i'm just so happy for the both of them!
Matt & Jaimie were high school sweet hearts and it's been so fun watching them grow as individuals and as a couple. I am so glad that I have now gained another sister!
Along with me as a photographer was my sister-in-law Ashley Stewart. She has her own photography business and was more than willing to come and be my second shooter for the day. She is awesome.(http://www.ashleyelizabethphotographyblog.blogspot.com)

Matt & Jaimie, thanks for letting me be apart of your big day! I love you guy's so much!
