Encanterra Country Club Wedding: Ryan + Brittany

While Ryan was living in Ohio, little did he know the woman he would marry resided in Arizona. When they met on match.com, they started a dear friendship with one another for about three months. It didn’t take too much longer until they went on their first date at Chelsea’s Kitchen in Arizona. They found a cozy spot at the bar to watch a basketball game together. Three years into their dating, they still found joy in sharing a sporting event together. While they relish in their love of sports, they also compliment one another perfectly. Where one is weak, the other is strong, which has led to a sweet bond between Ryan and Brittany. Their relationship went on for three years strong when Ryan decided Brittany was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He proposed to her and time later, are now husband and wife.

They truly are a perfect fit for each other and it was so beautiful to witness the two becoming one on April 30, 2016 at the serene and enchanting Encanterra Country Club.

Ryan and Brittany, thank you for opening your love story to me and allowing me to capture your sweet forever love story! May God bless your marriage and the days that lie ahead of your new family!

The subtle and soft undertones of color set the stage for a wedding that would sweep any woman off her feet.

A thoughtful gift of a necklace, exchanged by the bride to her bridesmaids.

The delightful love and support from her dearest and closest friends.

She took time alone with her mom before she would soon become a wife.

Her sparkling silver heels topped off her bridal look brilliantly.

Ryan gifted her with three handwritten notes and a feminine Michael Kors watch.

In Brittany’s first look with her father, they shared delicate tears of joy.

Their eyes met and locked for their first look. This moment stood still as they wiped each other’s tears and displayed deep care for each other.

They began praying over their marriage.

The gorgeous couple!

Enjoying everyone’s company and in anticipation for their upcoming ceremony.

Their “Once upon a time” was about to begin.

Arizona wind and a little sprinkle didn’t keep this wedding down or the bride and groom. They are a high spirited couple no matter the storm.

Rain started to fall when the flower girl made her entrance.

There were moments of epic laughs that proceeded the crowd. Love grandparents at weddings!

As just a light drizzle of rain began to fall, the beautiful bride walked confidently into the hands of the one who she loves most.

The two exchanged words of affirmation and commitment as they said “yes” to each other.

Taking their first walk together, as the new Mr. and Mrs.

Tender moments following the signing of their wedding license…

Epic wind made for gorgeous Arizona bridal portraits.

They embraced every part of each other and their day no matter what.

Moments of genuine intimacy.

The lighting brought out all the best of this Encanterra scenery, and all the love in Ryan and Brittany.

The soft elegance was in every detail of the reception.
