Elegant. Timeless. Joyful. Those are the words that come to mind when I start to think of how to describe Hilary and Ryan’s amazing spring ceremony at The Venue at Willow Creek.

When you meet Hilary and Ryan, you can instantly see their connection. These two laugh together and have that sparkle when their eyes meet. I have to say this is one of the character qualities that made me instantly feel like I needed them as my clients, even though Hilary kept trying to convince me that she needed me as their photographer. That’s one of the things that I love about this union – Hilary, Ryan and all of their parents treated us like close friends from the instant we met. By the time the wedding day came, a fellow vendor asked me, “So you must know Hilary & Ryan? You guys are friends, right?”

YES was my first thought! And before I knew what I was saying I realized that we actually met during their consultation. What? How could that be? Hadn’t we all been friends for years??

Maybe we haven’t been friends for years yet, but I know we will be friends for years to come.

Hilary and Ryan, it’s obvious you’ve found your matches. I’m so grateful to have met you both and can’t wait to see your future together. Here’s a preview of your perfect day…
