A Wedding Post: Jared and Kylee

Hi all! I am really excited about how Jared and Kylee's pictures turned out! I have selected a TON of images to post here on the blog.

To start off, Jared is my brother-in-law (Em's brother). I have known Jared for quite a few years now and have always been a fan of his :). It's not too often that I run into people who have my same sense of humor here in Phoenix, and Jared is about as close as it gets to making me roll on the floor laughing. One of the wittiest guys I know, by far.

So one year for mother's day we did something over at the in-law's house for Mama Thatcher and the whole family was there. AND... Jared decided to bring a special little someone whom he 'said' was just a friend ;) in fact, he even brought this 'friend's' daughter, Isabelle. We all thought "huh..."... and that was about it... UNTIL... we heard that he was starting to get romantically attached to this 'friend' of his :) Her name happened to be Kylee and she was alright, I guess ;)

So months go by and this 'thing' becomes pretty serious and they start talking marriage and the whole nine yards. At this point, Kylee and Isabel have already become part of the family. We were all thinking "Jared, you better not screw this thing up, we like them too much!" :D You may remember the engagement photo session we did with them a few months ago (check it out HERE). The rest is history; Kylee said yes, of course, and we have worked our way up to now when they have finally tied the knot and taken that first step into 'til death do us part'.

As for Kylee, I couldn't be happier to have her as part of the family (and I say this for the WHOLE family as well). She is such a blast to be around and we love her and Isabelle to death! Not only do we have a new sister, but also a new niece as well (love you, Iz :).

Here are the pictures from their wedding... there are a LOT but they tell the story in case you weren't there. ENJOY! :)

The big day is finally here!

Kylee and her mom.

Puttin on the boots :)

I would tell you what they were laughing about but Isabelle would probably disown me :)

A beautiful bride, to be sure.

I call him J-Rod

My two brother's-in-law... How come I wasn't a groom's man? :)

Givin em da ol stink eye! (DISCLAIMER::: Remember that this was not an altogether NORMAL wedding for me :) I typically maintain the highest level of professionalism at all of our weddings; this just happened to be family so it was a bit more casual for me which allowed me a bit more relaxed than usual :D )

Kylee and her Mama :)

Leading up to the ceremony...

Patrick, my father-in-law, did their ceremony. Here he is talking to some gorgeous girl whom I hope to meet some day.. she's been on my mind lately :)

Kylee walking down the isle with her dad.

The rings.

The kiss.

Afterwards, we did their pictures of just the two of them...

We were just going to do this pose with Kylee, but Jared decided he wanted one just like it. Actually, it came out quite lovely, don't you think :D

I must admit, the man can wear a tux...

On to the reception...

This is, no doubt, the coolest guy I've met from Indiana... Kylee's brother, Blair. He's NOT just a base-player, my friends, despite what he says :)

Speech time

Their first dance as husband and wife...

The epic moment of the cake cutting turned into a battlefield... the winner? the CAKE.

These two give In-laws a good name :)

These 2 love birds are getting hitched in the fall and hired a killer photography couple to do their wedding... :)

Brad doing what Brad does...

You would never know he's a comedian, am I right?

Not sure who these guys are... they just asked me to take their picture...

Gabe... enough said.

Alright, I HAD to post at least ONE of myself... after all, I AM part of the family :D I have no shame.

Kylee and her BFF Brooke :)

And Caleb again...

and again...

and yet again. This time he is getting fresh with the mother of the bride. :)

Congratulations, Jared and Kylee... I am honored to be a part of your family, and I look forward to years and years of good times with you guys :)
