Stephanie and Ryan ~ Wedding Photography by Carisa Keeling

Posted on December 5, 2010

As usual things have been a little crazy in my life lately.  My little girl Ava just woke up from her nap and comes into my office… “Whatcha doin’ mommy?”  When I told her I was blogging some wedding pictures she wanted to watch.  So she sat on my lap to see what I was doing.  ”Mommy, who is that?” she asks as she points to the computer screen.  I told her that the picture was of Stephanie, one of my clients.  ”She is really beautiful mommy.  Is she a princess?”  Stephanie and Ryan are a bit of a fairy tale couple, they are just that sweet and caring…not to mention easy to work with.  The images that follow are some of my favorites from their wedding day.  I hope you enjoy looking through the images.

Stephanie’s dress was beautiful and the light coming through the window at the church really showed the details nicely.

A simple and beautiful image of Stephanie.  The church has some beautiful light to work with in a variety of location as you will see in the next few images.

The above image was captured just as Stephanie walked up the stairs for the ceremony.  I think you can tell she is just a little bit nervous, but gorgeous none the less.

I love the look on Stephanie’s father in this image.

This was a great set of images.  The sun was getting low behind the trees and the light filtering through was wonderful.  There was just a touch of sun flare which added to the mood.

Stephanie and her family spent a lot of time and effort on the decorations.  The reception hall looked fabulous and the decor was perfect for a fall wedding.

Stephanie and Ryan decided to go with one small decorated cake to cut and then a variety of cupcakes.  The result was beautiful and delicious!

I am always looking for unique and different places to put the wedding rings for their formal portait!  ;-)  This topiary served as a perfect backdrop.

God served up an amazing sunset for the close of the evening.  The colors were so bright and awe inspiring.  I just had to ask Stephanie and Ryan to step away from their party for a few minutes to catch a couple of quick portraits.  I think the results were definitely worth it.

Stephanie and Ryan, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day.  I truly enjoyed it.
