Intimate Fall Maryland Wedding :: Michelle & Ryan

December 1, 2015 · Leave a Comment

All I can say, is I knew after their engagement session that these two were super sweet and fun to photograph, and so much in love! And just a few years later, I’ve now had the biggest honor and joy of getting to photograph Michelle & Ryan again at their beautiful and intimate wedding! I’m so happy for these two and their families. Smaller ceremonies are such a nice way to get to really see and say ‘hi!’ to all your guests, and truly soak in the day. And as a bonus, how cool is it for those who can’t be there to be skyped in! You’ll have to see how Michelle’s grandmother in Italy was able to be a part of their day :)

Michelle & Ryan were the most generous and kind! Not to mention that they totally insisted I stick around for some of the most delicious Italian food I’ve had!! YUM & thank you! :) haha This was such a nice day, and I loved all the burgundy/Marsala fall colors throughout their details too.. OH and just wait until you see Michelle’s rings!! GORGEOUS!

And best of all, I loved getting to photograph Michelle & Ryan again! Such a lovely and wonderful couple! I’m so honored to have been a part of their sweet wedding day!! Congratulations again Michelle & Ryan!!
