I’m known for capturing those didn’t-know-you-were-there shots and busting a move on the dance floor just to get those perfect candids. I also work with you to ensure we incorporate your style and story into your engagement and wedding photos!
Sylvana and Ryan had the hottest Gilbert Cellars wedding this past July and it was mega stunning and filled with all the bubbles! Seriously, I think there are no bubbles left in Eastern Washington! haha Their wedding day out in wine country was such a blast and these two are so in love that you can feel it seeping through their photos. While their day was over 100 degrees, their day was uniquely theirs and it was oh so lovely! Over the past couple of months since working with these two lovely people, we’ve hung out outside of wedding planning and these two are the sweetest people on this planet. Seriously! Sylvana and Ryan are so pure of heart and just love everyone they come in contact with and I’m so glad that we became friends out of all this 🙂 Game night at our place, next!
Okay, so their wedding day began with their private first look, private vows, and then all the portraits done before the ceremony so we can get to the party asap! haha They had a group cheers after their hot ceremony (seriously, my cameras overheated haha) and then went inside for some cocktail hour goodies. With a family-style dinner, smiles all around, sweet toasts, these two had a lovely evening with their friends and family. I also love that for their parent dances, they each danced with each other’s parents to the parents’ own first dance song! How sweet is that!!
Overall Sylvana and Ryan had a gorgeous wedding day out in wine country and it was so sweet to see them so happy together, dancing the night away with their friends and family. Such a sweet day for the sweetest couple!
This is how the proposal went down: “He proposed at my favorite hometown beach on the west side (Richmond beach). When he was taking me to the proposal spot, I saw a bunch of red rose petals on the ground and I totally thought somebody had a proposal or something like that (even thought it was late January, it made sense to my brain at the time) and then he swung around and got down on one knee and proposed “will you marry me!” all in one breath. It was so awesome and cute and hilarious and it caught me by surprise that I just threw my head back and laughed and emphatically said yes. I was not in appropriate proposal attire…”
Their favorite part about being together: “We are each other’s home”. OMG my heart is melting!
Congrats to Sylvana and Ryan! You guys are amazing and I can’t wait for more game nights together! Love you!
