When we first met Carmen & Kyle last November, our first impression was that they were very stylish and gorgeous! They had just come from church, so they were dressed in their Sunday best! But what we didn’t know that day was that we were meeting two of the kindest, most loving people you could ever know! Throughout the wedding day, it was so obvious how much love and support they have from their families and friends. As the girls helped Carmen get ready, there was tons of laughter in the room. They made sure that there were no “wardrobe malfunctions” and made sure that everything made it to the church!
Carmen and Kyle held their wedding at the First Baptist Church of Agawam, a charming, beautiful church that is over 200 years old! They had an intimate ceremony by candlelight with lots of singing, including a tearful song sung by Carmen to her new husband.
After photos at the church, everyone headed to the next part of the wedding at the Springfield Marriott. Before the introductions, we spent some time with the wedding party doing photos on the incredible rooftop garden. Inside, the reception room was illuminated by purple uplights. The details were so gorgeous and vibrant (and you KNOW how we love bold colors!). As Carmen and Kyle entered the room, their wedding guests surrounded the dance floor and watched a slideshow of photos documenting their lives until this moment. They shared their first dance in the middle of their closest friends and family in a perfect moment!
The rest of the evening was filled with dancing and singing, with entertainment provided by Brian Nicks Productions (who also set up the gorgeous uplighting in the room). One of my favorite moments of the reception – okay, THE favorite moment – was when all the groomsmen started dancing to “Apache” (you know – “Tonto, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it.” I got so excited as soon as I heard the first couple beats because I knew what was going down. What a priceless moment! You can see them dancing in the last image below. And if you don’t know the dance, you can check it out here on YouTube.
Such a great wedding, and we are so happy for Carmen and Kyle! You guys are great, and we know that you will have a very happy marriage! Congratulations!! : )

What wonderful unique pictures to remember a wonderful joyful day.
Carmen and Kyle—When I walked into the church it was so beautiful—it was like you had carved out a piece of Heaven—but when the doors opened and you were standing there with your Dad–I think you took everyone’s breath away. You looked like an angel and then you sang like an angel. But truly the one thing that made your wedding the most beautiful wedding that I have ever been to is the overwhelming love tha filled the church and your reception—and it all eminated from you and Kyle. You both are as beautiful on the inside as you are beautiful on the outside. Thank you for including Don and I in your day–I felt very blessed to have been a part of it all. Congratulations and I know that you and Kyle will always be blessed.
Beautiful pictures of a beautiful couple. Thanks for sharing them.
Carmen and Kyle, your pictures are beautiful and show the happiness of your day on everyone’s faces. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Beautiful, innovative, elegant…all of those things describe the bride & groom and this amazing wedding/reception. Love was in the air, but more importantly the Spirit of the Lord. This marriage is truly ordained by God and I want to welcome Carmen and your family into ours with open arms…Love the both of you!!!
PS Comedy is a given anytime the family gets together, lol…
All I can say is beautiful! Such a lovely couple.
