{Hays Wedding Photography} Sarah + Ryan

A few weeks ago, we were in Ellis County for Sarah + Ryan's wedding in Hays. Even though it was the end of July, the day could not have been more perfect for these high school sweethearts who finally tied the knot!

Sarah and the ladies started the morning off at J Studio and Salon. 

The fellas started the day off at Ryan's parent's house, watching the video of their adventures during Ryan's bachelor weekend in the Ozarks.

Sarah's dress was jaw-dropping! And since Ryan had experience in working with metal during dental school, he customized hangers.

A beautiful, quiet moment that I just can't get enough of!

Such a wonderful set of details.

Such a stunning bouquet from Flowers by Frances.

Ahhhh, First Look time. Sarah and Ryan saw one another before the ceremony so we could have ample time afterward for portraits!

St. Joseph is one of the many beautiful limestone churches in Ellis County.

A few last-minute touchups!

Mr. & Mrs.!!!!!

As you recall, the fellas like to have a little fun.

We stole away with Sarah and Ryan to a rural area for some romantic portraits.

The bridal party had fun with their entrance, utilizing wigs the girls wore during Sarah's bachelorette weekend, and water guns from the fellas' weekend. Oh, and the best man's toast (right)? Best.Toast.Ever. Everyone laughed until they cried!

Being in Ellis County, this was a festive crowd. :)

A final farewell under sparklers. The perfect end to a magical day!

Ann & Ernie's Wedding

Saturday, Ann and Ernie were married in Hays. Ann was so cute peeking through the cry room window as everyone processed into church that I couldn't resist in making this photograph. I love how the crucifix is reflected in the window!


A quick moment between man and wife immediately following the ceremony.

As Mike has said before, it's not often that either of us get to go to a wedding as a guest and just kick back and relax. Thanks for the beautiful day, Ann and Ernie!
