Her smile beamed. From the moment Shelly walked into the dressing room, to the moment they drove off to their happily ever after, she never stopped smiling. Because that’s what Ryan does for her. He makes her smile like no one else can. And really, she does the same thing to Ryan. It’s infectious, their love. You can’t help but smile when you’re around them. At least, I couldn’t. And when you have that kind of love, it’s the kind that lasts. The kind that grows stronger with each passing day. The kind that says I’ll love you when you’re old and gray. The kind that is forever.
Shelly and Ryan, it was SUCH an honor to document your wedding! I cannot begin to explain what wonderful people you are. I’m just so glad I can now call you my friends : ) Your wedding was as beautiful as your life will be together. So much love and happiness : ) Congratulations!!!!
Her dress was right out of an Audrey Hepburn movie, if you ask me.
LOVED the “I do!” on the bottom of her shoes!
Her bouquet? GORGEOUS.
Many thanks to Cynthia and Stephanie from Enizio for making Shelly even more fabulous!
Dress time!
Her friends felt a little toast with some sparkling wine was necessary. I completely agree : )
Well Shelly was finishing up with her girls, Ryan was getting ready for their First Look.
Ryan, you make quite a handsome groom, if I do say so myself.
I was SO excited when Shelly and Ryan agreed to do a First Look!
Ryan’s response to Shelly was adorable. He was completely smitten with his soon-to-be wife : )
Red Butte Gardens is such a beautiful place for a ceremony.
They decided they wanted to walk down the aisle together, and I thought it was completely adorable.
Newlyweds!!!
We headed out to do a few more portraits before the reception.
You guys are so lovely together I can hardly stand it!
Rawr.
Shelly, you looked simply divine. There is no other way to describe it.
A few clouds decided to grace us with their presence just as we were finishing up! Oh how I love diffused light.
The reception was in the Orangerie Room at Red Butte and it was beautiful.
I always love photo booths…
A shower of petals as they left…
So much joy : )
I’ll end on one of my favorites…
Congratulations again you two!!!! Xoxo.
