Ryan & Rachel
Some of the weddings that I shoot are for people that I’ve known for years.
Ryan and Rachel don’t fall into that category, but I really wish they did. Not only is Ryan an incredibly gifted and creative musician (check out Enfield on iTunes to see what I’m talking about), but he’s incredibly humble, and if you spend 5 minutes with him, you notice how effortlessly he puts others above himself. Rachel is tender, patient, and (as you’ll see below) a great match for Ryan.
While I couldn’t capture the amazing music of this wedding in the traditional sense (Ryan wrote an original score for Rachel to walk down the aisle to!), I hope that the photographs below can convey some of the rhythm and tone woven through every bit of it.
Ryan’s first time seeing Rachel in her dress:
Sisters!
I love the way their vows were written like lyrics.
Ryan with his brother and dad.
Thanks for letting me borrow your guitar, Patrick!
Like I said, they’re made for each other. 🙂
First dance…
This jazz band was fantastic!
My absolute favorite photo of the day…
Ryan and Rachel, just because of what I know of you, I’m certain that your first few weeks of marriage have been beautiful (and far better than all those years of dating). It was fun running into you at random concerts and the Old Town Newhall 4th of July pancake breakfast, and I can’t wait to see where the months ahead take you both! Much, much grace to both of you.
