Elisabeth & Manny

Engaged

They both say they met because fate brought them together. It was May 13, 2019. “Many things happened that led me to be at Elisabeth’s work on that morning,” Manny says. “As I sat in an exam room, I saw her turn the corner with her golden hair bouncing around. She seemed to be walking […]

Anniversary

One year ago, these two were married under a beautiful canopy of trees in a Disney-inspired wedding at Rapid Creek Cidery. I still get swoony when I look back at that day.

With some family in town to complete this extended family grouping, they decided to update their photos and we flew through these with just a […]

An Intimate Celebration Farm Summer Wedding During COVID-19

Weddings

Their original wedding was scheduled for July 18, 2020. As every wedding couple this year has experienced, 2020 threw an enormous curve ball in the size of a worldwide pandemic. After much thought, Bryn and Jonathon decided to move their full, large, everyone-can-come-and-celebrate wedding to next summer, but wanted to go ahead and begin their […]
