Amber and Kyle

Ashley and I have been away for a while getting some much needed relaxation...kind of...but we are back and have some blog posts to catch up on.  On Friday, June 26, Ashley and I photographed Amber and Kyle's wedding.  The wedding day featured a little of everything...some rain, some panic, some traffic, the Des Moines Art Festival, a solo guitar performance, and everything else in between.  The wedding was held outdoors at the Rose Garden in Des Moines.  We had a few sprinkles and a few panicked moments where it looked like it might open up and rain...but it held off.  Some how it always does.  Mother nature clearly loves weddings that we photograph.  Through out the entire day these two and their wedding party were great to work with.  This wedding featured one of the coolest moments we've ever seen.  The best man gave a classic performance during the reception.  He rewrote the lyrics to Breakfast at Tiffany's ala Jimmy Fallon style and performed in front of the entire reception with guitar in hand.  I had trouble keeping my composure to take photos during it...it was classically funny and the standing ovation he received was proof....see photo below.  All in all, it was a great wedding and great newlyweds!  Congratulations Amber and Kyle!
