it feels like forever ago that i met ryan charlotte.
a lot can happen, change, or evolve over time. so when i first sit down with couples about their wedding what they ultimately see for their day, i listen with the knowledge that any of it can change between that moment their actual wedding day.

but not ryan charlotte. they have had a clear dream for their wedding day since i met them. it had nothing to do with specifics everything to do with the bigger picture.
it would be about family.
it would be about love.
it was everything they described over coffee that first day.
it was perfect.

since meeting them, i got to see where charlotte lived was dropped off after her first date with ryan when we did their engagement session.
i was there as they exchanged very personal gifts on their wedding day. gifts that said few loud obvious words about love, but instead whispered deep connections stories so meaningful to them.
i was able to capture a few quiet moments of ryan his daughter practicing their special dance for the reception.
i got to see the priceless look on ryan’s face when he first saw charlotte appear with her dad on the porch before walking down the aisle.
so much more.

sure the flowers were beautiful, daveste vineyards was a gorgeous backdrop for their vows and her dress… well you know how i feel about lace. but the moments… they are what i live for this couple did not disappoint.

congratulations ryan charlotte. cheers to a long, happy healthy marriage!
