“Karla, you are the light of my life”,Yan said in his toast.

“Karla, eres la luz de mi vida” dijo Yan en su Brindis.

And then later when I asked where she was, “In the middle of the dance floor, center of the party, obviously.”

Y mas tarde cuando le pregunte donde estaba ella, “En el medio de la pista de baile, centro de la fiesta, obvio”

Those two simple statements pretty much sum up this wedding. Karla isn’t just the light of Yan’s life, she’s a light for everyone around her – and always the life of the party. She and Yan didn’t stop laughing all night long. I loved every minute.

Esas dos simples declaraciones son un buen resumen del dia. Karla no solo es la luz en la vida de Yan, es la luz en la vida de todos alrededor de ella – y siempre el alma de la fiesta. Ella y Yan no pararon de reir toda la noche. Ame cada minuto

I love this — calm bride in the middle of chaos. The champagne probably helped a little bit :)

Me encanta esto — novia en calma en medio del caos. La champana probablemente ayudo un poco :)

Beyonce stayed at the W that night too. I wish we would’ve run into her!

Beyonce se quedo tambien en el W esa noche. Ojala nos hubieramos encontrado con ella.

The W is officially my new favorite place to shoot getting ready pictures. The hotel is a visual paradise!

Seba says that this picture, “no se entiende,” or can’t be understood. That’s exactly what I love about it.

Seba dijo que esta foto, “no se entiende”. Eso es exactamente lo que me encanta de ella.

On the way to the ceremony at Alto de Pirque, we found out that a bus with half the guests on it, was lost. So we made a pit stop at a gas station to pick up some munchies for the bridal party. Light inside the Shell station was shockingly beautiful — this picture of Karla talking about how excited she is to say, “I do!!!” is my FAVORITE of the night!

Camino a la ceremonia en Alto de Pirque, nos enteramos de que el bus con la mitad de los invitados, estaba perdido. Asi que hicimos un alto en una bomba de bencina para comprar algo para comer para la novia y las madrinas. La luz al interior de la bomba era hermosa — esta foto de la Karla hablando de lo emocionada que esta absolutamente dice, “Acepto!!!” es mi favorita de la noche.

But, in the end, we made it to Pirque. Just in time for the golden hour.

Pero, al final, llegamos a Pirque. Justo a tiempo para la mejor luz.

Bridesmaids, you have been infiltrated.

This was so funny. In Chile, couples normally dance a waltz for their first dance. So Karla and Yan started out with about two minutes of solid waltzing…and then busted out a coreographed disco dance. GREAT way to get the party started!!!

Esto fue tan divertdo. En chile, las parejas normalmente bailan un balz para su primer baile. Asi que Karla y Yan empezaron con unos 2 minutos de balz…y luego, de la nada, empezaron una coreografia de musica disco. Genial forma de empezar la fiesta!!!

Bouquet tosses can get a little crazy…

Man down, we have a casualty!

Hombre caido, tenemos un lesionado!

I adore these two. I’ve probably looked at this picture 40 times since we’ve gotten back from the wedding, but it still makes me smile every time.

Me encantan estos dos. Probablemente he mirado esta foto unas 40 veces desde que volvimos de la boda, pero todavia me hace sonreir cada vez.

  1. Kyle, I love these!! I esp love the close up ones, where he's dipping her to kiss her… I'm mostly just envious because as you WELL KNOW, I can't dip to save my life!!
    And the last pic is AWESOME!! Truly!

  9. That wedding looks like it was an absolute blast! I especially like the photo with the bridesmaids and the fans – the arched eyebrow cracked me up.

    Comment by Katie Alley — February 15, 2010 @ 1:28 pm

  10. You know, looking at all of these beautiful dresses you photograph makes me want to have an occasion (and the money) to wear a wedding (or wedding-esque) dress more often than once. This one is beautiful!

  13. What an adorable couple and what adorable photos. I love the pink tie and all of the pink accents. I especially like the very bright white picture of Karla . . . . . I would say she looks rather angelic . . except for that mischevious glimmer in her eyes!!

    Comment by Ritamae39 — February 15, 2010 @ 6:40 pm

  14. I love, love your ring shot! Well done as always, Kyle!

    Comment by lynismaelbennett — February 15, 2010 @ 7:03 pm

  15. Seriously, your photos always make my day!!! When I eventually make it to Santiago I *will* stay in the W there! I've seen several write-ups about it now. Besides, I LOVE W's! The beds there are the best. :)

    These pics are glorious. The dip is AMAZING! Congrats to you AND the couple!

  24. Haha, but you can learn! I think they've been practicing because they were pretty much masters of the dip kiss. No one is that good NATURALLY!!!
