Carly was worried about rain, but let me tell you the day could not have been any more beautiful. Clouds always look great after a rainy day. There were some cool drafts of wind, but over all the warmth of the sun felt really good. We started the day documenting Tony prepping for the day. Tony, his brother and his friends were excited for the union. He had the coolest pair of custom cuff links. They looked like the bottom of two bullets very unique. A lot of their decor was D.I.Y and it turned out gorgeous. The boutonnieres were bullet shells with a touch of color. It was a perfect ceremony. Carly was back at the family ranch. The ranch was beautiful and full of life just like Carly. After getting dolled up, Carly shared a first look with Tony. Tony is such the romantic he was eagerly waiting to see his future bride with a dozen red roses in his hand. Carly looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown and Tony was speechless. Shortly after we captured beautiful portraits of both of them. Their friends and family were very excited and full of joy throughout the entire day. Everyone pitched in to help when help was needed. It was the true meaning of team work. They literally moved mountains for their wedding. The ceremony was held by a special tree that Carly’s parents planted years and years ago. This place looked magical, for the hills were covered in yellow flowers which made for awesome portraits. The ceremony was short, and sweet. It was the cutest. The reception was help on top of a flat hill. They had banda, DJ, dance floor, and a huge warm bond fire. Everyone had a good time including us. Their families are fun and inviting. The parent dances were emotional for both of them. Their first dance as husband and wife was amazingly choreographed. Everyone enjoyed dancing on top of a hill surrounded by family and friends. They even had fire works ! Who does that ? Awesome people thats who. A small down pour of rain, but this did not stop the celebration. They cut the cake, had the bouquet & garter toss, and they danced some more before the night was over. Everything turned out GORGEOUS just like I knew it would.
