A Few Raindrops, The Wedding of Ryan and Julia

Julia and Ryan got married at Celebrations at the Reservoir just south of Richmond Virginia.   Which happens to be less than a mile from my home.  Gotta love that!

Like a lot of outdoor weddings, everyone was afraid of what happens if it rains.   Well,  it rained and I hear to tell you that all was still  went very well.   A few people got a little wet and the harp player had to race the 7 foot harp to cover.   But the rain stopped, they dried off the chairs and the harp and went on with the ceremony.   Rather than getting stressed about it, Julia and Ryan just rolled with it and trusted that, no matter what, they were going to get married.     

Julia and Ryan had friends and family there to help them to enjoy their day.    It was great to see everyone pitch in and get involved in making sure that Julia could just enjoy the day and not worry about anything.      Alyssa from Celebrations was also there to contribute to that end as well.     Alyssa made herself available to help me and the other vendors too.   It is such a pleasure working with her.

Julia and Ryan have a really nice story to tell.   I was especially impressed with the great lengths that Ryan went through to make the proposal one that she would never forget. 

Julia is the last of 3 girls to get married.   Her older sister Angela, an ordained minister, was the officiant of the ceremony while her other sister Dana,  was the matron of honor.      Ryan is an only child but has some very close friends that  stood up for him as did his father as the best man.

This was the first time I got to work with Eric Cunningham of Choice Entertainment.

Eric was a great guy to work with and really turned the reception into quite a party.   This includes his coordination with Ryan and Julie in their “surprise first Dance” (See below)

The event was photographed by Bruce Ellis.   It was a pleasure working with Bruce.        

I really had a great time.   Thanks Ryan and Julia.     

Take care.
