Ryan and Sheila ~ 10.3.2009 ~ A wedding in the woods

Here is a sneak peek of Ryan and Sheila’s wedding!  I will probably be posting more photos later, but I wanted to at least put a handful up for everyone to see.  I had such a wonderful time with Ryan and Sheila, they both made me feel so welcome…like I was a friend.:)

They were married at the wonderful Sleeping Lady lodge in Leavenworth, WA.  It’s nestled right up in the mountains and was the perfect place for Ryan and Sheila to tie the knot.  It was really fun to be a part of their day, because they had a few unique elements to their day that I have never seen at all the weddings I’ve been to.  One of those things was performing Acro Yoga in place of their first dance.  Hands down, coolest first dance I have ever seen!

Oh…and Sheila even made her own dress!  Impressive.:)

There is just something very soft and gentle about this shot.  Also has a slight feeling of anticipation, as she got ready to marry Ryan.

I have to say, I am pretty proud of this photo!  This might be my favorite from the day.  I love how the flowers are trailing out of the basket as she spreads them for Sheila to walk on!  Love it! :)

Tender moments during their vows.  I love seeing the emotion in their faces.  This is why I love my job!

Sheila and Ryan decided to do a tea ceremony for their "unity".  I thought the idea was so great!  They poured each other tea and took sips to signify different aspects of their love for each other.

I love how she is on her tip toes to kiss him!

This was just before they started their Acro Yoga routine that they did in place of the first dance.  I thought it was very sweet!  And I so enjoyed watching them perform and work together.
