This opulent event is best presented in the sections that encompass the entire day, from beginning to end. That said, below I have laid out the day beginning with the preparation of the Bride and Groom, moving on to the pre-ceremony photo capture, then on to the lovely ceremony, culminating in the well-deserved celebratory reception.

The Bride –

The first photo is a beautiful capture of the Bride Kylie’s wedding rings. This close-up focus photograph shows the stunning setting of the rings and of course the lustrous diamond as it’s featured subject – simply flawless.

One very cute addition to the festivities is the Bride’s puppy. Here and in several other photos you’ll see how the Bride and Groom have incorporated this treasured friend as part of their memorable day.

The Bride’s preparation included receiving a special gift from either her Bridesmaids or her soon to be husband.

The Groom –

Along with the Bride, the Groom also needs to prepare for the big event. The Groom, Mike, has the support of his Groomsmen as well as a family member to prepare him for the events about to enfold.

As the Bride and Groom have completed their preparations, it’s time to move onward to the ceremony. This included some simple yet interesting backdrops as the couple make their way onward to the actual service.

Their is a touching moment of the couple sharing their vows prior to the official ceremony. Photographer John Ryan was able to capture the natural emotional response of each of the couple as they profess their love to each other.

The Ceremony –

The following photos capture the official ceremony and the grandeur of the church that provided the backdrop for the couple as they professed their love before family and friends.

The beauty of the building is showcased below by this stunning shot by John Ryan. It captures the intricacies of the church’s design and reverence to the religious purpose it was created for, and for this couple a meaningful part of their commitment to each other.

An impromptu show of affection by the newly-blessed Bride and Groom, with the attendees showing their support by applauding them!

As with any special event such as a wedding there comes a point after the all the planning and arrangements when it’s time to settle back and celebrate the union of the Bride and Groom and allow the friends and family that are fortunate to have been invited to witness the event to share that celebration and show their support for the union of these two special people in their lives.
