Karissa + Rylan, Eden Gardens Wedding, Santa Rosa Beach Florida

Get your tissues ready!!! This is a tear-jerker for reallllzz!!!! 

Karissa + Rylan could not have picked a better day or place for their big day; and the perfect weather they prayed even showed up!! You would think a wedding in January would be brrr... but nah, the day was seriously amazing, and Eden Gardens was the perfect backdrop for it all! Full of love, friends and faith, January 14th made the best day ever for these two seriously in-love-birds and we are so happy to have been a part of it. 

From the moment we got to the house and started chatting with Karissa, her love for Rylan was the first thing to make an appearance. She clearly was here for all the right reasons, and I couldn't wait to meet Rylan to see how adorably mutual it was.... but I was wrong.... He definitely loves her more. This boy had everyone in tears, from their 'before ceremony' letters, to the not-so-first-look prayer session, all the way into the 10-minute vows he read.... He brought the emotions and brought them out of everyone else. (but seriously, make sure you check out his reaction to her coming down the aisle.... TO. DIE. FORRR!!!!) 

I may speak for myself when I say this, but there is nothing better to a photographer than people who are for real in love. Not that silly surface love but that kind of love that is still just as vibrant on your wedding day as it will be 40 years down the road when she is bloated, and he is balding... that's the kind of love they have, haha. Literally aside from the basic directions of 'stand in front of the pretty bush, now this pretty tree, oh back over to this bush' I simply told them to love each other... and that is exactly what they DID! So beautifully in love, it can't even hide, just overflowing in these photos... so what are you waiting for??? Go see em'!!
