While going through Jessica and Ryan’s photos from their Antrim 1844 winter wedding I couldn’t help but do a little shiver.  I kept being reminded of just how COLD it was that day.  It was a true winter wedding.  We didn’t have snow but we had crazy winds and a real feel of something like 20 degrees.  Brrrr!!  But as long as Jessica and Ryan were willing, you better believe I made sure to stay outside for as long as possible to have some picture fun time with them!

There were so many moments from this Antrim wedding that I loved.  Seeing Jessica’s stunning dress started the day off on the right foot.  Her amazing “r heart j” book that she had was the perfect addition to the bridal detail photos.  Watching Ryan try to iron his shirt was comical.  Seeing how excited he was about his Macho Man socks was great (at least I think his was Macho Man….all the groomsmen had a different wrestler on their socks).  Jessica and Ryan’s super sweet first look on the porch of the mansion.  The adorable flannel shirts Jessica had for herself and her bridesmaids made for seriously Pinterest worthy winter wedding photos (and made the cold at least a tiny bit more bearable!).  The moment during bridal party portraits when I was shooting the girls on the steps of the mansion while Teri, my second shooter, had the guys off in the garden and we just hear this loud “quack, quack, quack” coming from the guys and I assure the girls without even having to look “It’s ok….they’re just doing a flying V”….ooohhh boys  😉  All the laughs that were had during the ceremony.  And then watching all the fun Jessica, Ryan, and all their guests had dancing the night away at the reception.  I had been looking forward to this wedding ever since I first met Jessica and Ryan and we sat in a coffee shop for close to two hours just talking about pretty much everything but weddings……and it did not disappoint.  Yes, I wish it had been a tad bit warmer because it seriously was brutal, but I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding or better couple to end my 2016 season with.

Jessica and Ryan, thank you from the bottom of my heart for having so much fun with me and for risking possible frostbite to get some pretty photos.  Congratulations!!
