7.19.08 - Morgan & Brian

Posted on August 5, 2008

I don’t know why this happens to me, but I have very cool clients… I get more than my share of people and families who I really enjoy being with on the day of the wedding. And every so often, brides/grooms/families/wedding parties/etc. will just go out of their way, all day, to make me feel at home and let me know they’re glad I’m there. These are the times I come away thinking, “Wow!” Morgan and Brian’s wedding was like that.

They were married at Hershey Evangelical Free Church, and we had a great time shooting at some locations in Hershey. Morgan and Brian knew that time was going to be in short supply on their wedding day, so they opted to see each other before the ceremony. For this, they each get gold stars and my eternal gratitude. :)

Here’s a few shots from the first time they saw each other that day. Brian was just a tad excited to see his bride.



Spending a few moments in prayer… what a great way to start off one of the most important days of their lives!





Radiant.









And when Brian saw this:



His reaction was this:



Morgan’s dad, a minister, performed the wedding.



Off into the sunset… love the sign!



Thanks as well to Kelli Cohee, who took over 2nd shooting duties!

Lots more in the slideshow…

    Oooooooooookay, “I’m sold”!!!!!!!!!!! (by the way, Brian and I have been saying your famous “I’m not sold” line a lot since our wedding day :) :)
    Ryan, this is the first time I’ve really got to look at the pictures, and it just took my breath away. I can’t believe that I’m looking at your blog and actually seeing my own wedding pictures! The pictures and the slideshow are absolutely phenomenal. You captured our day and I cannot thank you enough for that.
    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

    Ryan, that’s my home church! I recognized the lobby as soon as I saw the first picture!
