Valerie and Ryan's Wedding!!!

Valerie and Ryan met in Okinawa, Japan while Valerie was visiting a friend on base. Ryan, a proud member of our Armed Forces, was introduced to Valerie and it goes from there. Just the short time that I was able to spend with Valerie and Ryan, it is no surprise that the fell for each other. They both have incredible spirits and were so wonderful to work with.

The ceremony took place at the Crestwood United Methodist Church and the reception followed at the Louisville Water Tower.


Enjoy!







This next shot was one of those happy accidents. I had thought it would be interesting to take a shot of the dress through these old painted windows (I just love the clash between elegant and rustic) when I reached the other side the reflection was the American Flag, it couldn't have been more perfect.









It is always such an intimate, emotional moment when the bride gets into her dress and I believe these next two shots really captured that feeling.







I am impressed, Ryan tied his own Bow Tie, I see guys struggle with a regular tie.
