May 7th, 2022 will be a date that forever holds a place in my heart. It will certainly hold a special place for Christy & Ryan Fraunfelter. This is the day they exchanged vows in front of their many close friends and family, announced their pregnancy, danced the night away, laughed until their bellies hurt, and kissed a LOT.
Almost a year ago, after Ryan and Christy got engaged, I was asked if I would be their wedding photographer. At first, I think I thought (and said) absolutely NOT! I have never done anything remotely CLOSE to a wedding and I was convinced they were convinced I was not up for the task. But, my transparency was embraced by these two, and they talked me into it. We had an engagement session shortly afterwards, and I think the feeling between us was mutual...we were now committed to each other. :)
Ryan & Christy are two people that give off an instant vibe...a vibe that is inviting, chill, fun and charismatic. They are also pretty cool people too. Ryan protects our lives by serving as a PA state police officer. Christy competes (and places) in triathlons, no big deal. So, not that anyone WOULD want to mess with these two...but don't. They are two great humans. So when God opened up the skies and turned down the thermostat for their big day, guess who turned lemons into lemonade? Ryan & Christy. They sought out a friend who owns some beautiful barns, a greenhouse, and a magazine worthy piece of property we were able to get some gorgeous photos at. Insert umbrellas for some of the photos and voila, a picture perfect day was created.
Ryan & Christy deserved a perfect day. And though some had to use their imagination that day (and dress in multiple layers,) to me, it was clear they got what they deserved...and even more. Their loving families and closest friends were there to help celebrate the insane love between these two, and it's hard to ask for much more than that.
Congratulations guys. I wish you the very best and cannot wait to watch your family grow. <3
