A Fall Wedding at Cantigny: Jen & Ryan

post filed in:

Wedding

Reflecting on Jen & Ryan’s wedding day, countless sweet moments flood my memory. From a champagne pop that echoed laughter with the bridesmaids in the morning to friends gathering from every corner of the globe, including China, to witness their union—it was a celebration to remember. Today, I’m excited to share three favorite moments, continuing our Wedding Wednesday tradition.

#3. The appearance of a leopard print jacket became an unexpected highlight. This quirky find, snagged by the Groom at a garage sale, unexpectedly enhanced our photos with its sporadic appearances throughout the day. It definitely added a unique flavor to our shots!

#2. The father-daughter dance was unforgettable. It started traditionally, with a sweet, slow melody, only to abruptly switch gears into a lively, choreographed performance. This duo took the dance floor by storm, much to the delight of all the guests. Their energy was truly infectious!

#1. But the pinnacle moment for me was capturing Ryan’s reaction as he saw Jen walking down the aisle of the East Lawn. With the sun softly setting behind the trees, the enchanting light captured the overwhelming emotion on Ryan’s face—a sight to behold and cherish forever.

    Jen & Ryan, thank you deeply for the privilege of capturing your day. Each moment felt special, and I’m so honored we got to be there.
