What a fun wedding this was! Gorgeous venues, thoughtful details, and so many personal touches made Danielle and Ryan’s wedding one for the books. They wanted to celebrate their love in a special way and it definitely showed. Danielle and Ryan, I am so excited to share these images with you guys and I hope that through looking through them, you are able to relive a few moments from your special day. Troy and I are so grateful for the chance to be part of it. Enjoy!
I love how Ryan is representing his alma mater with those red socks (Wreck Em, Tech!).
All of the jewelry that Danielle wore were compliments of her mama. So so sweet!
Can you even believe Danielle’s Maggie Sottero gown, with cascading folds of the most beautiful organza?? I had to catch my breath when I saw it in person — just stunning.
That lovely hair comb was also borrowed from the mother of the bride.
Kudos to the girls for choosing such awesome bridesmaid dresses — I love their Adrianna Papell one-shoulder dress.
After getting the girls all dolled up, it was time for Danielle and Ryan’s first look, which I LOVE and highly recommend for couples. It was especially convenient for this particular day, which was rainy and overcast, allowing us to capture special photos of the happy bride and groom without having to battle the dark skies and low light that we were faced with following the ceremony. Just look at what we were able to get!
The rain cleared up for just enough time to grab some shots out on the Duchesene Academy grounds, which made the best backdrop for photos.
Off to the chapel!
I was completely taken aback by the ceiling of the chapel, which was covered in tiny gold stars.
And just like that…married!!
The team from Petals by Design blew me away with the florals, and the cake from Three Brothers Bakery was fantastic.
The dances that Danielle and Ryan planned were awesome and so unique — the bride and her dad danced to Devil Went Down to Georgia, and Ryan and his mom busted out in a jig after starting with a traditional slow dance. So fun!
The new Mr. and Mrs. danced all night with their guests thanks to Shane Smith and The Saints who are one of the BEST bands we have ever worked with. No joke, y’all they rocked.
This was such a fun day spent with a fantastic couple and their amazing friends and family. Every moment of this day was special and perfectly reflected the love that Danielle and Ryan share. I have so many images to continue sifting through but I hope you love the sneak peek, Danielle and Ryan! Many thanks for being so great to work with and for making us feel like part of the family. We wish you all the best 🙂
