Laura and David are MARRIED! I am seriously SO honored to have photographed their day. On their wedding day celebration at Marriott Ranch, they had already been married for one year! So on their one year anniversary they celebrated with all of their family and friends.
They had a beautiful fall wedding with the most perfect cool, crisp air. We started off in the smokehouse for getting ready photos, both of the bride and the groom! Shout out to my second shooter, Kristen, for capturing all of the amazing groom and groomsmen prep.
One of my favorite memories from their wedding day were the guests! Their guests were so fun and friendly, I truly felt like I left their wedding with so many friends. It was great being able to connect with their guests and capture a few candid photos of them.
Marriott Ranch is one of my favorite wedding venues. The mountain views with that golden hour light is a match mate in heaven just like Laura and David. And, we definitely took advantage of the glorious golden hour light!
Laura and David are truly an amazing match together. They are so happy and giddy around each other even after 1 year of being married. I almost forgot that on their wedding day celebration they had already been married for 1 whole year. What a fun way to celebrate an anniversary! I truly mean it when I say I am HONORED to have been their photographer – they welcomed me as a friend and I truly loved serving them!! Enjoy all of my favorites from their Marriott Ranch Wedding day!
