Elissa and Ryan tied the knot at the Ashley Castle in Chandler two weeks ago. It was a super hot day even though it looked like we'd get our usual evening monsoon this time of year, the clouds abated and it stayed pretty clear. I spent some time with Elissa and Ryan at their engagement session several months ago, and found these two to be very, very in love. And they have a pretty cool story of how they fell in love...they originally met by taking out trash at the same time! Elissa came in and called a friend and said, "I just met the man I'm going to marry." They dated for just one month when Ryan was called away for his Marines Boot Camp training and he spent four years overseas. When he came back a year ago, they began dating again and picked right up where they left off. Suffice to say they were both just trilled to finally be getting married! They wrote their own vows for part of the ceremony and Ryan gave a very endearing and personal toast to his bride and guests. It was a fun reception, where Birkett Entertainment kept the crowd very entertained and the great team at Serendipity Video provided video coverage and were wonderful to work with. And thanks to the always great Andy Andrews for coming to second shoot with me.
Congratulations Ryan and Elissa! Thank you so much for sharing your day with me!
