Being rewarded with the view of Piney River Ranch after a bumpy 45-minute drive up a dirt road is well worth it. As I arrived, friends were hustling to help get the reception space ready. Amanda still had to finish her vows, so after getting dressed, she sat in silence for a few minutes and wrote them out.
Their first look was when Amanda walked down the aisle with her mom and dad. Both beaming from ear to ear.
It all turns to a blur when you are finally up at that altar together, doesn’t it? This ceremony that you’ve imagined for months is finally happening, and you blink and it’s over. The good times always fly by too fast. Hopefully these images slow things down for Ryan and Amanda and let the remember the little moments that comprised the day.
Big thanks to Laura Anderson for shooting with me (and for playing DJ)!
