Couple’s like Reagan and Ryan are literally what photographer’s dreams are made of, and their day was the kind of wedding I wish I could shoot over and over again. I could not have asked for a happier, more beautiful bride or a more laid-back groom.
These two also share such a unique love story; they actually first met on a trip abroad to Ireland and stayed in touch from across the country (Reagan in Arizona and Ryan in the Northeast) since their early teens. It’s the type of stuff Nicholas Sparks novels are made of.
From the minute I met Reagan… and her adorable panda slippers… I knew she was going to be a perfect fit for my light-hearted photography style.
Big thanks to Jim Heine for second shooting this wedding and covering the guys getting ready!
Reagan is actually one of a set of triplets. Their bonds further strengthened with the loss of their father, the shots of these three brought tears to my eyes. The first black and white of Reagan hugging the girl crying is one of the triplet set and the next shot is of her brother (the other triplet) straightening his jacket about to do the duty of walking his sister down the aisle in their father’s place.
Humor definitely plays huge a role in our style, and that aspect was not lost on these two…
The reception took place at the Inn at Millrace Pond, and emotions were still running high…
Congratulations you two! As I said upon leaving that night – good things happen to good people, and you truly deserve each other!
