Karen + Ryan had such a gorgeous wedding day! The weather was perfect with crisp Fall air and colorful leaves everywhere. Karen looked STUNNING in her wedding gown. I think Ryan's jaw might have dropped a little when he saw her for the first time during their first look. Honestly, everything was perfect.

The ceremony was held at Karen's family church, Bon Air Christian Church. It is one the of cutest churches I have ever been in. It's so quaint and welcoming with gorgeous touches of stained glass. After the ceremony, you could not wipe the smiles off Karen + Ryan's faces. We took their first portraits together as Mr. + Mrs. Smith, and then the two of them made their grand entrance into their reception.

There were cupcakes, candy bars, tooth brushes [ Karen's Dad is a dentist haha ], and SO much dancing. I don't think I have ever seen a bride dance as much as Karen did at her reception. She literally danced the night away. By the looks on their faces, I know these two had a BLAST.

They ended the evening with a bubble send off, which I have to say was a great idea! I love how those photos turned out. Congratulations to the new Mr. + Mrs. Smith!
