We were so excited to shoot Ryan and Stephanie's wedding. They had booked us well over a year in advance and as October drew near, we started counting down the days until their wedding.

These two fit so well together! You can tell that they not only know each other deeply and completely, but that they also know themselves as individuals. That is the stuff that makes marriage work. And they are fun. I mean really, truly, make you laugh because they are laughing, fun. They were a delight to work with!

Lauren had the pleasure of photographing the ladies getting ready before the ceremony.

I love this shot. The bridesmaids helping Stephanie get dressed, the light coming in from the window-just lovely.

Ryan was so excited to get married!

The moment a groom sees his bride for the first time is one of my absolute favorites! I think Ryan's face sums up the amount of emotion in that moment.

I told you they were fun :)

These two created an "evolution of dance" for their first dance, it was hilarious!

And the best yet, they left on a sail boat!

Congrats guys, we are so happy for you!
