Karrie & Kyle: Scandalously Celebrity Style Wedding
We shot this one at the beginning of September. Karrie & Kyle have been together for 8 years. They recently built a 9,000 square foot grand residence high atop a mountain in Park City. The house sits on a 20 acre lot in protected wild-life preserve. They bought an old sheep shearing barn in Roosevelt so that their house could be fitted with old barn-wood. Ceilings, floors, exterior and even some of the doors and beams came from the barn. There are thousands of board-feet of the gorgeous aged wood and it gives the house a very unique style and flair. The house has a story all it’s own…
Karrie decided to host a housewarming party, and when most everyone RSVP’d, she had another idea… She decided to turn it into her wedding, but she didn’t tell any of the guests. Remember, that’s what Julia Roberts did when she got married.
We were there under the guise of staff photographers for Utah Style & Design Magazine. BrideAccess.com was pretending to be from Hot Homes of Utah. We made sure not to blow her cover. Karrie sat everyone down and then started a slideshow of the house being built. It showed images of the construction and so forth and then went into a montage of shots they’d had taken together over the past 8 years. Then at the last minute, one of her best friends announced that they’d all actually been invited to a wedding… and Karrie marched down the aisle before the shock wore off.
Yep, not even her dear old mom and dad knew what they were in for. How cool is that?? There is nothing traditional about Karrie, she does things her own way with world class style. Instead of a dress, she bought a $1000 pair of boots and wore some styling Ralph Lauren denim. Keeping in sync with her western theme she had a mechanical bull and lots of other touches as you’ll see in the pictures. This definitely marks one of the weddings of the year, and we’re so glad Karrie picked us to photograph it for her. Have a look…
