Do you ever get a gut instinct that something is so, so right?

That’s how I felt when Anna and Andrew wrote to me. I mean, yes, their wedding sounded really cool and unique. Yes, it was going to be in Spain. But even more than that, I could just tell that they are good to the bone. And yes, my instinct really is that powerful — even across oceans, via email.

It has not let me down yet.

The minute we met Anna and Andrew at the airport in Santander, I knew I was right. They are the kind of people you wish you knew more of. The kind of people that everybody wants to be around. The kind of people that make you smile, and then keep smiling, and then keep smiling so hard your cheeks actually hurt, because they’re both so happy and funny and full of life.

Of course they argue. No couple is perfect. I even heard they almost called off the wedding the night before. But that just made me like them even more. Because for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For instance, I know for a fact that with big dreams, come big fears. And with big love comes big passion, sometimes in the form of anger :)

The beauty is in the balance.

Anna and Andrew, I hope for every time you’re angry, afterwards, you feel love a thousand times stronger.

BUM!

The wedding was held at the absolutely gorgeous venue, Deluz.

Y en espanol, para las novias que se casan en Cantabria:

Centro de eventos en Santander: Deluz

Torta: Iced Wishes by Louzya Matthews.

Vestido de novia: Yolan Cris

Fotografo de boda: Kyle Hepp

Andrew’s mom made this cake!!! I’m sure he knew she was amazing before, but after seeing this masterpiece I think she’s now officially amazing.

Seba’s view on the left, mine on the right. I love being able to give two totally different perspectives of the same moment. It’s kind of cool.

When Andrew saw this tilt shift photo for the first time he said, “Awesome. Did you take this with that one really cool lens?” That moment just confirmed that they’re truly a perfect fit for us.

Seba got this shot below and I LOVE it. For some reason it just grabs me. Must be the half face. We all know how I love my half faces :)

Batman + garter = amazeballs.

Anna really loves cinematography so I wanted to create some dramatic images for her. I love the feel of these next couple of shots!

The night ended with tequila shots. They even made us take one with them! Though, I totally wussed out and took like…a sip instead of an actual shot. As Andrew said, “Yours is more of an essence of tequila.” But still, full shot or not, we appreciated being included, as if we were true family :)

  1. Holy Moses that cake is AMAZING. Like seriously amazing. Did it taste amazing as well?

    Also I love the film noir feel of some of these photos, Kyle. Really great!

    and also also…I totally appreciate the height difference between these too – because that’s how Inspector Climate and I are.

  5. Now you are officially an international star :) weddings in Europe, Chile & the US.. Congratulations

    I liked the pictures a lot – fantastic & about the arguing.. Couples that don’t argue don’t deeply communicate – most of them anyway.

  6. I love these so much! Is it strange that I think the color of Anna’s hair makes me like them just that little bit extra? The location looks amazing, her dress is gorgeous, and you can see that passion you’re talking about in the photos – perfection. Plus I might just have a soft spot for a fellow tequila-shot-taking bride :)

  10. Beautiful set! I love the red that was incorporated throughout the wedding…her hair..the umbrella, bouquet subtle and classy. I absolutely love the shot of the couple smiling so genuinely after the ceremony…their happiness shines. Great work.

  17. LOVE! Love her gorgeous mane, love the light, love that nose touch! Those black and whites make me want to sprout some dreamy french poetry. If only I knew some. Beautiful work as usual Kyle!

  18. That is the best cake ever. And I love her hair. I really adore your black and white shots here, especially the one of her in front of the fancy mirror and the “dramatic” ones near the end. I also love the one of her holding the red umbrella with the two of them standing close together.

  22. Simply stunning work, Kyle. You can just feel the emotion between them. Wonderful!!

  23. This is fantastic Kyle. Nobody presents wedding stories the way you do. Photography of an exemplary quality in the field is at a premium; it’s enriching when that is combined with a truly unique voice.
