Ryan + Megan

A White Barn at Happy Valley Wedding

I don’t know why this White Barn at Happy Valley wedding moved me so deeply during the editing and selection of my #Top100 blog post. Was it the couple’s beautiful love story unfolding before my eyes? Perhaps it was witnessing the bride’s close bond with her parents, the emotional daddy-daughter first look, the groom’s raw feelings during their first encounter, or the heartfelt handwritten vows they exchanged. The list goes on.

One thing is certain: this wedding will always be one of TRP’s all-time favorites. And for future brides who believe that the only way to elicit emotion from their grooms is during the traditional walk down the aisle, think again. There’s something truly special about a private First Look moment shared before the ceremony. It’s a quiet, intimate moment where you can connect solely with your love, your eyes locked, exchanging emotions and words before the grand entrance.

Oh, and one more thing… make sure the Father of the Bride has an extra pair of pants! (You had to be there to truly understand, but I’ve included my favorite photo to capture the moment.) While not typically a TRP #Top100, this wedding made the list because I loved everything about it, especially how the father handled the situation. #DadGoals

Megan and Ryan, words cannot express my gratitude for choosing me to capture your special day. Love stories and families like yours are what make me love my job. I hope that as the years pass, you’ll look back on these images and cherish the memories of your beautiful wedding day.

xoxo,

A friend always, Tina
