Ryan & Emily {Wedding by Haley}

“I’ve loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you. What would be more reasonable than to marry you?”

Little Women
Ryan & Emily {Wedding by Haley}

This is not the first wedding Emily and Ryan have attended together, but it goes a little deeper than that. It was the wedding of Emily’s best friend and Matron of Honor, and one of Ryan’s friends that brought them together a few years ago. Now the roles are reversed and those friends are in the bridal party as Emily and Ryan say their I-Do’s! It was a much anticipated day all around.

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle outside of the venue being prepared for the day, Emily and Ryan stayed hidden away from one another while they got ready surrounded by their closest friends. The girls sipped on their Dunkin’, and Ryan kept with the theme with his coordinating donut socks.

After Emily’s mom helped zip and button her into her beautiful white lace gown, she shared a first look with her dad, then we traipsed around the beautiful Homestead property for photos in the early afternoon sun.

The Tobacco Barn filled with guests excited to witness Emily and Ryan’s vows. After Ryan took his place at the front of the ceremony, Emily shared those last few moments with her dad outside the barn doors before they were rolled away, giving the Bride and Groom their first glimpses of each other. Their eyes locked, and those bright smiles they are known for beamed as they approached on another. Hand in hand, they recited vows and took part in a rope braiding ceremony. They sealed their marriage with a kiss, and exited the barn to the cheers of their guests.

Guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the farmhouse lawn while they newlyweds and bridal party finished up our photos. But they got to partying as soon as they could, with everyone dancing their way into the reception. When dinner was finished, everyone was ready to take the dancefloor for real, and they celebrated from beginning to end of the evening. Ryan and Emily exited their reception under rows of sparklers, making the perfect end to the most special day. Congrats to the newlyweds! We LOVED celebrating with you!
