Joanna and Ryan’s Wedding

In September, I shot the wedding of Joanna and Ryan, a truly beautiful and warmhearted couple.

Joanna and I are friends of friends, but also both graduated from MICA.  She, a gifted artist and teacher, designed much of the decor at the wedding—from the table settings to the cake topper (a fantastic hen/rooster set) and looked lovely in her great aunt’s wedding dress!  Although I didn’t get much opportunity to talk with Ryan between shooting, he does seem like a really nice guy; and he’s got some good dance moves, too!

Here are some of my favorite shots of the night!
