Where do I even begin with this wedding?!

I guess I can take you all the way back to my high school years where I met Ryann for the first time. Volleyball brought us together and let me tell you…we had some good times running our high school team! Some of my favorite memories are with this girl…all the way from fall out boy concerts in my truck to state championships.

When Ryann reached out to me about doing an engagement session with them I was over the moon excited! I had been following her and Jesse’s journey via facebook for awhile now and was SO happy she had found the love of her life. I could just tell he was the one for her. After meeting Jesse at the engagement session and after catching up with Ryann…I KNEW they were meant to be. There was instant chemistry between the two of them. Ya know, the kind of energy that just infects everyone else around you? THOSE kinda vibes.

After their session we discussed their wedding that was supposed to take place in Hawaii early the next year at the Ohana Retreat Plantation. They wanted to keep it small and intimate so they could really experience the joy that truly comes with your wedding day. To say I was happy when they decided to choose me as their photographer would be an understatement!!

Erika at The Greatest Adventure Wed is a complete mastermind, with the help of Carlee at Rusted Vase Floral CO., brought all of Jesse and Ryann’s visions together to create one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever had the pleasure of being apart of. I’m still blown away by how breathtaking and easy this wedding day really was. Subtle hints of Harry Potter and Disney were sprinkled everywhere to the point that When You Wish Upon A Star was played for the father daughter dance (I definitely teared up!). Jesse proposed to Ryann while at Disney land because it’s one of her favorite places, so the playful details were absolutely perfect.

I will forever be grateful for their friendship and for being able to capture their amazing true love.

Cheers Jesse and Ryann!!
