{ Kristy + Ryan }

Growing up in Colorado Springs, she tried her hardest to stay away from those Air Force men. Then, Kristy met Ryan.

After long-distance dating via cities where Ryan was stationed across the U.S., the time was right one rainy evening in Corpus Christi, TX, on the balcony of Ryan's apartment. He popped the question with a platinum stunner (see below!), and little did they know he would soon be relocated across the pond!

The couple planned their first wedding in Colorado Springs in just nine days, intending to have a second-go in Wisconsin the next summer. Which brings us to now! Kristy and Ryan managed to plan everything via England, with a little help from family and friends of course, and I was so honored to be a part of their wedding--part deux!

Wow! That is all I have to say. You have a true gift. My favorite shot is of Kristy, the one where you are above her looking down so you see the hair and the dress.

These are some of the best wedding pictures I've seen. I love the fact you didn't line them all up for the "firing squad" for the pictures. I love the train track picture the best but I see no bad takes.
