How lucky am I that I get to shoot TWO weddings in the Outerbanks this summer? Ana & Joey will be getting married on July 15th in the OBX, and I am so thrilled to shoot their wedding! Please just observe how adorable they are together. Yes, it will be an awesome wedding. And mad props to Ana & Joey for rocking it out during this shoot… What you can’t see is that there were about a trillion gnats flying all over the place. I’m almost positive that I inhaled a few. Sick dog. I guess I can just add that to the list of reasons why I have the best clients ever. :)

Don’t forget to vote for your favorites. :)

This was the very first picture I took… From that point on, I knew it was going to be a fantastic shoot.

Ana, you’re adorbs. Don’t judge me and my lingo, internet!

Favorite #1.

Favorite #2.

But for real, this is for sure my FAVORITE!

Favorite #4.

I did not tell them to do this. I looked up from my camera, and this is what was happening. Spontaneity, for the win!

If you look realllllllly closely, you might be able to see all the gnats. Told you they were terrible.

Gah. I love this picture!

Thanks for being so amazing, Ana & Joey!

Happy Tuesday, internet! :)

    Ana McMullin - Kelsey,
    I can’t get over how much I love these pictures. You are such a gifted photographer and I’m thrilled that I’m able to say I have original Kelsey Tice pictures! I cannot wait for wedding pictures!

    Thanks,

Oh, hey… I’m actually not dead. Craziest three weeks ever.

I am so excited to finally blog this wedding. It was awesome for a number of reasons:

  1. I love Andrea & Tyler dearly and think they are some of the greatest people ever.
  2. Andrea basically planned her entire wedding day timeline around when the best lighting would be for pictures.
  3. I got to stay in an adorable yellow beach cottage with her & her precious family the night before the wedding.
  4. I shot this wedding with my new 5DmarkII and 50mm/1.2L!!! Dreams really do come true!
  5. Andrea & Tyler got married in the Outerbanks of NC and only invited their closest family.
  6. They were, hands-down, the most laid-back bride & groom I’ve ever worked with.
  7. They could be models.
  8. I shot this whole wedding barefoot… My feet were happy.
  9. They gave me almost an entire hour for bride & groom portraits after the ceremony.
  10. Both Andrea & Tyler love Jesus more than I can even write. :)

I could keep going for so long, but let’s be honest… You’re not here to listen to me talk about how amazing they are together. You’re here to SEE it. So, without further ado, Mr. & Mrs. Tyler Sorie, established May 18th, 2011…

VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!!!

The day started at Spa Vogue… Quite possible the most rockin’ spa ever. Lime green, crystals, and zebra print everywhere!

Andrea… I ADORE you. Let’s be friends forever, k?

Seriously, how awesome is this salon!?

Andrea’s dress was perfect for her and her beautiful beach wedding. :)

This perfectly sums up her excitement for the day. :)

She received some BEAUTIFUL diamonds to wear for the day…

Oh, and in case you were wondering… No, I did not edit her skin in any of these. Yes, it is just that perfect. Andrea, you make me and every other woman in the world insanely jealous. Tell us you secrets!

I heart this picture.

Yep. My favorite picture of Andrea EVER. Flippin’ STUNNING!

I got to hang out with Tyler for a bit while he ready, which was not nearly as long of a process. :)

Little side story… Throughout high school, me and my best friend Stephanie were obsessed with the show Smallville. For those of you who don’t know, it was a show that documented the early life of Clark Kent, aka Superman. Well, this picture below reminds me SO MUCH of Clark Kent, which is funny cause Tyler is semi-obsessed with Superman too.

STUD.

Tyler also played the guitar at his wedding. Just kidding… That’s his identical twin, Blake. You’ll be seeing more of him & his beautiful wife Kelly later this week. :)

Seriously, Andrea… You are the most adorable bride of all time.

Yeah… They love each other a whole lot.

Such a precious moment when Andrea & Tyler’s family prayed for them during the ceremony.

Yay for husband & wife!!!!

These next three were taken immediately after the ceremony. I couldn’t narrow it down because they’re just so beautiful together!

Favorite #1.

Favorites #2 and #3.

Seriously, ya’ll? Stop being so perfect.

Favorite #4.

I felt like it was only appropriate to end this post with the following picture… Quite similar to how I ended their engagement session blog. :)

Favorite #5. Don’t judge me. I can have as many favorites as I want. :)

Tyler & Andrea… Thanks for being so wonderful. It’s friends like ya’ll that make me love my life & job so much. :)

    Betty Beatty-Powers - The pictures are ALL absolutely beautiful!ReplyCancel

At this exact time last Saturday, I had the absolute privilege and honor of watching Cody & Becca exchange vows and rings to become husband & wife. (Remember them from their engagement session last fall?) It was an absolutely PERFECT day in Cumberland, MD… Sunny & a high of 70 degrees. God was the weather director. :) The two were surrounded by their closest friends & family and had a rockin’ bridal party that kept me laughing all day long. As I finished shooting the groom & his men 30 minutes before the ceremony began, I heard one of the groomsmen say to Cody, “Only 30 minutes… Nervous?” His response: “I can’t wait.” Heart melted. There is no doubt that Cody & Becca love each other with every inch of their beings, and I am so thankful that I was able to be a part of their special day…

Internet, I’ll probably never stop reminding ya’ll… Vote, vote, vote! :)

Becca, I ADORE you.

Some final touch-ups before pictures…

I just luck out with the best looking clients every time.

LOVED the colors of the wedding… Perfect for spring! :)

Told ya… Best looking. :)

I loved hanging out with these guys. Just so hysterical…

:)

Loved the sweet smile Cody had for his bride…

Yay for marriage!!!

SO awesome!

Becca. You are a STUNNER.

Heart melted again…

I absolutely ADORE the way they look at and interact with each other.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that Christmas lights and paper lanterns are some of my favorite things ever, so naturally, I loved the reception. :)

Seriously… How adorable are they?!

They are so loved. :)

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Larson! I hope that ya’ll had a wonderful time in the OBX. :)

Okay… Now time for a personal side note. My cousins, Chris & Megan, were gracious enough to let me stay with them last weekend. How cute are they?! Oh, and please observe the second picture… I am standing as high as I can on my tippy toes. Apparently, height runs in the family. :)
