I had the pleasure of photographing two of the sweetest people at their intimate wedding at Barnsley Gardens. This was my second wedding of the weekend, but the energy and excitement Katie and Ryan had surrounding this day was more than enough to help me power through! It didn't hurt that I had my girl, Suzanne White at the helm... literally the helm of the golf cart and also making my job a breeze! My favorite moment of the day wasn't the cool vintage car, exploring the Ruins or the colorful blooms, it was after Katie and Ryan exited their ceremony and Ryan looked at Katie and said, "This is the best day of my life." Talk about sweet!!
We started the day as Katie was wrapping up hair and makeup and let me tell you, her level of enthusiasm lasted from the moment I saw her until the moment they left in a tunnel of sparklers. With every detail she put on, there was a giddy squeal and beaming smile which was contagious with her family and friends. We didn't have much time before Suzanne whisked us away in a golf cart to meet Ryan at the Ruins for their first look. There were hugs and happy tears and the biggest smiles ever. If you were ever uncertain of what two people should look like when they're in love, THIS was it. Before the ceremony their family and friends joined in for portraits and Katie and Ryan's little blonde ball of cuteness finally got to hug his mom and dad. He was SO precious in his little tux! Soon it was time to make things official and get the party started. The Ruins were decorated with family pictures and heirlooms and guests spent time exploring and finding hidden gems around every corner before finding their way to the dance floor to celebrate with the newlyweds.
Katie and Ryan - thank you for trusting me with your wedding day. I hope you love these as much as I do!
