Kyle & Emily are married! [Durham Wedding]

It’s early on a Saturday and already everyone’s moving about and buzzing with excitement for Kyle and Emily’s wedding.  We show up at the hotel where Emily and her girls are getting ready and they’re all grinning from ear-to-ear and laughing with excited anticipation for the day.  We never had our doubts, but we knew at that moment it was going to be a great day!

Kyle and Emily were married at Blacknall Presbyterian in Durham, North Carolina and had a ceremony that felt like a hug – uplifting, emotional, and comfortable.  That might seem a little weird, but it truly possessed a feeling of warmth and emotion in an amazing way.  It was a blessing to photograph.

Their reception…oh wow…how cool!  Their reception was in an amazing, rustic brick loft called The Cotton Room.  The hardwoods, the exposed brick, the huge windows that let in brilliant light, and the old wood beams made this place a photographers dream.  But Kyle and Emily also added details of their own…details that put on the finishing touches that really made it come alive.  It was awesome!

Kyle and Emily – congratulations!  We couldn’t be happier for you and couldn’t be more excited for all that’s ahead of you!

Connie Konikoff – Emily and Kyle, your day was held in a cocoon of love and spiritual presence. Thank you so much for including us. Janet, thank you so much for sending the link to these family photos!

The photos of Kyle and Emily Parsons Hamilton reflect true photojournalism, not simply photography. I am stunned at the beauty and the depth of each photo, capturing realism and emotion so candidly and with such artistry! The skill and gift of the photographer(s)is stunning because beauty alone (and granted these are beautiful people) is very difficult to capture so candidly and un-affectedly but the photographer did it every time!!! That is what blows me away!

Thanks, again, for a great day and for sharing the gift of these photos!

Mykou Thao – Matt and Jenna,

I just wanted to let you two know that these are super AWESOME picture! You guys did an amazing job at capturing Kyle and Emily’s big day. You two captured much of the atmosphere (which was an honor to be a part of). It was lots of fun seeing you two run around cameras while everyone danced as well!

Again, great pictures and keep up the great work.

To photography!!!
