I seriously don’t know where to begin with Ryan Ann and Eric, or should I say Bean and Guges, probably the best nicknames ever. Maybe we should begin back in Kindergarten when these two love-birds met! Yes, this love was meant to be, and was practically growing from birth. I learned the whole story during their engagement session where we revisited their Kindergarten classroom, which was also where Eric proposed (so sweet!). And the engraving in the wedding band? Pinky Swear!

But their wedding day, wow! It was filled with all my favorite details to photograph, the hanger, shoes, gorgeous flowers, perfect bridesmaid dresses with a to-die-for waist line embellishment, but even their ceremony was done elegantly in purple accents. The bridal party was so much fun to hang around throughout the day and Ryan Ann and Eric are a dream to photograph.

I think it all came to a head when Ryan Ann’s sister (and MoH) brought them outside for a surprise horse and carriage ride! It was AMAZING and a wonderful way to end, or should I say begin, their true love fairy tale.

I hope you enJOY these photographs, and just because my husband does truly tell stories better than I do, here’s his same-day-edit from their wedding as well.
