Angie and Jeremy — Wedding

Are we lucky? Umm… Yes.

Somehow we get to photograph the sweetest, most thoughtful people on the planet. We really felt so much warmth from Angie and Jeremy… they were constantly asking people how they were doing/if they needed anything, and you could see they sincerely care about the folks around them. What an honor to photograph such great people!

Their ceremony and reception were at the lovely Graves 601. There were so many photo possibilities that day we found ourselves wishing we could spend a week just taking photos there!

Congrats, Angie and Jeremy! We were so glad to be part of your day!

Sara and Al — Wedding

Okay, so I can’t help that I get a little teary, on occasion, when we’re photographing a wedding. I mean, how can I help it? We see people who love each other so much that they are committing their lives to each other. And the fact that we get to witness that? Pretty special, I’d say.

I may or may not have teared up a little during Sara and Al’s wedding. I’m not gonna tell you for sure, but I will say that I probably (maybe) had to search around in my camera bag for a kleenex. It’s pretty special thing to be part of something so special and these guys are no exception. One part of their day that really stood out to me were the minutes before they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day. They had written letters to each other to read before their first glance. You can see a few photos of that moment in the post below… they were each on their own side of the corner of a building, reading the words they had for each other. Then they held hands, peeked around the corner, and boom: Love.

Their lovely ceremony was at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Courtland, MN and their reception was at the Holiday Inn in New Ulm. We started out the day photographing at Schells Brewery in New Ulm (such a cool place!). It was a wonderful (warm, but wonderful) day!

P.S. Excuse my sentimentality, folks. Cory just made me coffee for the hundred millionth time, and I started thinking about love.:)

 

Sarah and Adrian — Wedding

Sarah and Adrian’s wedding was so elegant and beautiful! Their ceremony and reception were at Midland Hills Country Club in Roseville, MN. Even though there was a chance of rain all day, the sun came out and they ended up having the perfect day for a wedding.

Congrats, Sarah and Adrian! We loved photographing your day!

Tricia and Jake — Wedding

Tricia and Jake’s wedding was so much fun. It was a very hot, humid day, but despite the heat it was an amazing wedding with a beautiful couple. Their ceremony and reception were at Millennium Garden and Plymouth Creek Center in Plymouth, MN.

Every where we turned there were great moments to photograph… we were so happy to be part of their day!

Cake!

We now interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a little taste of cake. And a taste of what we Ryans do in our spare time…

A little project we’ve been working on for our kitchen (picture 20×20 gallery wraps, lined up horizontally across our kitchen wall):
