Sarah & Ryan: Crooked Lake Wedding

One phenomenal wedding leads to another. That’s been my experience, anyway. I met Sarah and Ryan through another all-star couple and was immediately smitten. Great people just flock together. Sarah and Ryan’s approach to their wedding was a dream come true for me. They wanted to relax and enjoy every minute as it unfolded, so they allowed me free range to gather up moments. It takes a special couple to sit back and enjoy, to avoid getting pulled into the tiny minutiae of last second planning. Their joyful attitudes were contagious and everyone I met that day was spectacular. The wedding party was a delight. The family (many of whom I already knew) treated me like their own. Most of all, not one second was posed or inauthentic. The love, sincerity and beauty of the entire day shown bright. I couldn’t be happier for this kind, thoughtful and gorgeous couple.

As always, a few favorites from my vantage point…

There is inevitably a moment — usually right after the dress is put on — when the magnitude of the day strikes the important people on scene. It is so breathtaking to see it all unfold, like the mother of the bride seeing her stunning girl ready for the altar…

I’ve shot at Crooked Lake many times before and I love how intimate the setting is, people don’t notice when I get up close and personal…
