Real Wedding: Taryn and Kyle First Look and Portraits

Taryn and Kyle's wedding was such a fun affair! As we look back on this gorgeously green, outdoor wedding, we remember all the love and hard work that went into making the couple's dreams come true! Kyle and Taryn created so many special touches and unique design features. We can't wait to share them all with you!

We are kicking the week off with these amazing portraits by Aaron Clark Photography. They truly capture the happiness that is this couple. We hope you enjoy reminiscing over Taryn and Kyle's first look and portraits as much as we have. Be sure to keep an eye out for more from this couple's wedding. We'll be posting their ceremony and reception photos later this week!

Awh! Look at the pure excitement on Kyle's face!

Oh, and don't forget about the dress. AMAZING!

What was your favorite photo location, and why did you choose it?

Our very thoughtful photographer, Aaron Clark, scoped out our ceremony location prior to the big day and found a lovely property down the road. He received permission from the property owner to photograph on their tree lined road and in front of their ivy covered antique barn. The pictures turned out amazing.

How great is this location? We simply adored all the greenery!

What one portrait would you choose to put above your mantle?

Well first, it’s quite hard to picture myself putting a portrait of myself above my mantle hah, but if it was going above my parent’s mantle, there is one in black and white where I am standing in the center of the road. The picture is very symmetrical and classic.

Real Wedding: Megan and Tyler's Reception

Most people don't know how much time and effort goes into a tent wedding; it is really a labor of love and can take a village. However, once they come together, they are the perfect setting for a fun and laid back reception. The bride's request for vintage and glamorous touches were the perfect pairing to making this outdoor tent reception fabulous!

The looks on Megan and Tyler's faces in this first photo says it all. Enjoy Mr. and Mrs. Henry's reception!

What’s the one décor aspect that you most loved and will remember?

I love the vintage/elegant look. I wanted a lot of vintage looking décor but also for it to look elegant at the same time. I didn’t want it to look overly country. I loved the chandeliers in the big white tents, as well as the mercury glass and all of the lace. It gave it a charming feel. I will never forget how pretty it was having the white lights and candlelight at night in the big white tents in the middle of the field. It looked awesome!

What was your first dance song, and why?

We chose the song “Take My Hand” by Emily Hackett and Will Anderson. We love this song because it is sung from both a guy and girl’s perspective. Our relationship came so easy and strong feelings happened so fast for us. We are perfectly content with each other and our relationship makes us feel like we have all we need. That is why this song just fits us.
