Wonderful Ryn and Dan were married last month at the beautiful Morgan Creek Golf Club that is literally three minutes from my house. It was awesome shooting there with this beautiful couple on an insanely beautiful October day. We began with the ladies AND the gentlemen at the Larkspur Landing Hotel in Rocklin. Dustin and I had such fun hanging out with this spirited group of great people. It was definently one of those days where we felt like we were hanging out with our friends and not working. It was great!
Ryn got a little suprise from Dan. New pearl earrings! And since he couldn’t decide between white and yellow gold… he got her both. Fellas, take note of that! The ladies enjoy variety in their jewlery boxes.


Ryn was absolutely STUNNING! And her too awesome bridesmaids were gorgeous too! I loved hanging out with these ladies.
Dustin had a great time with Dan and the guys too. I LOVE this picture of Dan shaving!
Dan sure does clean up nice.

Because Ryn and Dan are AMAZING and WONDERFUL and FABULOUS they decided to see each other before the ceremony and get group portraits out of the way as well as some of them together. I love it when couples do this because it gives them so much more time to enjoy their wedding ceremony and to actually get to be a part of their reception! Plus, the seeing each other is a lot more intimate when there aren’t 150 people in between you.



Then it was time for some I DO’s! The ceremony pavilion was just beautiful!



This is seriously one of my all-time favorite first kiss shots ever! And they aren’t even kissing! I just love how utterly happy both of them look!
Then we rocked some sunset couple pictures. Sweet sunset light… how I love you!

Then it was party time! Ryn was all about the details (my kinda girl!) and did an equisit job of pulling everything together. I was so impressed with everything she did for her wedding!


Ryn and Dan’s reception was definently a celebration of the two of them. From toasts that were HILARIOUS to a first dance that was graceful and beautiful to a night of rocking out on the dance floor and munching on yummy cake it was just perfect!

Thanks to our beloved Ryn and Dan for having Dustin and I share in your beautiful wedding! It was a joy to be with you and your family and friends. We can’t thank you enough! We hope you had a great time in Hawaii! Hugs and love to you both!
