melanie & kyle are married!

matt & i first met melanie & kyle about four years ago while (watching some friends) brewing beer in someone’s driveway we both only knew through blogging. for a while, we saw melanie there almost every monday- her appearance was always a relief to me as these get togethers tended to be pretty guy-heavy. she liked good music, good beer, good food & cute puppies so pretty quickly i felt we were friends. :) when kyle got a job in arkansas, they packed up and left atlanta to start a new life in their new city, together. and then they moved again- now they’re texans! can you even imagine packing up everything you own and leaving your friends and family, not once but twice in just two years!? and to such different places too!? hats off to you, melanie & kyle, for making the very best of what must have been a pretty crazy two years. we kept up with their moves on twitter- the struggles and celebrations and everything in between, and i often found myself smiling at their back and forth playful banter and feeling that melanie & kyle are just the most natural and perfect fit for one another. they seem so relaxed and comfortable when they’re together- clearly they are best friends. and when best friends get married? well, that’s just the best. :)

melanie & kyle had their ceremony and reception at hill manor- so it was there that we met them for their final preparations and first look images. as often as we go to weddings, my eyes still fill up when i see a guy totally blown away by how incredibly beautiful his bride looks on their wedding day- and kyle was exactly that. his smile when he saw melanie could not have been any wider- it is just not possible.
