I always feel like I am part of something special when capturing a couple’s wedding day, and Kelly & Ryan’s intimate wedding was no exception! On the verge of a cross country move, Kelly and Ryan decided to get married before they relocated, so they had a small wedding at one of their favorite local spots. We began at their home to take photos with their sweet dog, Pixel, and then walked from their home to the venue. Kelly and Ryan’s ceremony was officiated by her brother and they were surrounded by their family and close friends on the patio. It was so genuine and heartfelt. My favorite moment during the ceremony was when Ryan hugged Kelly as she became teary reading her vows. I love that Kelly & Ryan did what felt right for them and it was an honor to photograph their story on such a joyful and personal day. —Amanda
