the story of
emily +ryan
and wedding photography + videography in Paola
~*~
It’s a little-known fact that Funfetti cookies can lead to a forever kind of love – and proof of this came when a journey that began with a batch of them made its way to a wedding (which of course included multiple trays of those cookies the bride had used as a means to make the groom’s acquaintance eight years earlier).
And the baked goods were far from the only personalized touch at this wedding, which took place on the farm where the bride grew up and contained so many DIY elements – from small items like the bouquets and aisle signs to very large ones, including the very building where the reception took place.
Emily and Ryan: It’s truly amazing all you put together to reflect yourselves and to celebrate this significant step you’ve taken. We were honored to capture everything and loved sharing in your perfect day!
