I first met Ryan and Melissa 2 years during Melissa's sister's wedding! While capturing candid images of the guests on the dance floor that evening, I couldn't help but focus on the love these two had for each other! After buying a house and Melissa starting a new job, Ryan popped the question! We documented their engagement portraits last year and Melissa's bridals this past month!

Covid-19 did make it harder for friends and family to travel so far, but their day was filled with so much love and joy and those that were there really fought to be!!

Ryan's best friend saved the day that morning by creating a smaller cake for Melissa and Ryan to cut into and used berries, pieces of juniper, and other amazing finds at the ranch to create a stunning cake.

The speeches are one of my favorite moments. As you can see, mom was so proud of Cassaundra's moving speech. You'll also see a few favorite images of Cassaundra, Brandon, and their new little man - because if it wasn't for them hiring me for their wedding a few years ago, I would have never met Melissa & Ryan!

The first dances are also one of my favorite moments. I can't help but think of the feelings I'll be feeling watching my husband with our only daughter on the dance floor. These moments always get me!

Enjoy a sneak peek of the gorgeous Baranoski Wedding!
