Brittany and Ryan | Reception | Wedding | Shanghai Reds

Party time was CA-RAZY!

I love their little flutes. Its like their drinks have cloths. Clever. 

First dance (caught them dance floor smooching! People got in trouble for this at prom)

"We are the champions."

I love the Maid of Honor's toast. They have known each other since kindergarten!
When I met them in high school, their parents kept pretending different people belonged to the other family.
I was confused for so long.

Brittany's family did more of a skit than a toast.
(Do you see why I adore them so much?!)

They made fun of Britt for waring vans instead of fancy wedding heels... then they joined her!

Father daughter dace... the funny beginnings

and the most beautiful of endings.
This is, without question, my absolute favorite father/daughter image, aside from images from my own wedding.

Mother/Son is always less emotional, more fun.

Can you dig this cake?
Hello Ducks fan!

He was a little rude.

She was crazy.

but they "opa"ed all the same.

Check the darling heard diamond
(I remember sitting on my couch at my dad's house with Britt looking at jewelers sites finding heart diamond settings )

the excited recipients.

BUBBLE IN THE EYE

last hugs before the honeymoon.

Oh how we love you two! I know its almost your anniversary, but it honestly feels like about two minutes ago. Your happiness makes me happy. 

*hugs*

I also HAD to share their wedding film by the talented Dave Neeley



He also made a pretty cool "dance mix"

Brittany and Ryan | Ceremony & Portraits | Wedding | Shanghai Reds

Time for another flash back post!

This wedding had my heart.
One of my very best friends from high school found her love and this was the day they promised to always be together.

I was also giant preggers and kind of emotional. :D

Loved Britt's sparkly shoes.

Britt's dad was such a brave little toaster. He adores his little girl.

Britt's younger brother and his friends performed beautifully for Brittany and Ryan during their ceremony.

Crazy wedding party, my friends. A crazy wedding party.

Look at these ladies! 

Oh Ryan, you jokester... 

love love love this shot!

Details!

When we were in high school, I pulled out a bottle of black nail polish and insisted my friend paint her nails
... I'm pretty sure Brittany's nails have been black ever since.
I LOVE that she decided to go black french for her wedding. No conforming for Brittany! She is who she is. (and she is wonderful)

Lovely wedding hair

Such a beauty.

Do you dig Ryan's ring? 

The Military tie clip

and lucky cuff links.

Ryan, you are one handsome devil

Right before their grand entrance.
This moment make me tear up even now
(and I'm not even pregnant!) 

So sweet.

UP NEXT : Brittany and Ryan's reception!

The first dance. I love how they constantly cuddle. 

Father

Mother

Cake! I love Carolyn's hand, shes so excited.

They were not nice...

... at all ...

...But then later they were.

the bouquet didn't go too far.

But sister still got it!

Love this. 

Score!

Yeah. They're dating.

Double up!

... and dance

Exit to bubbles! (my personal favorite) 

Oh Carolyn and Sean, you two are so fabulous. Thank you so much for choosing us to photograph your wedding. It was beautiful and you two are wonderful.
