I first met Rana + Ryan this past spring on a dusty photo-adventure in the sand dunes for their engagement shoot. We enjoyed hours of talking about travel and life, and it was there, while hiking up-and-down the rolling desert hills in search of the ‘perfect dune’ that I very quickly fell in love with these two. So, I’ve been looking forward to this day for months!

I always love these morning moments. Everyone got prepped & pretty at Rana’s parents’ house in Henderson, NV. Each of her girls were anticipating a day ahead that they’d spent months dreaming and planning for. And amid the flurry of getting ready, it was the moment when Rana put on her dress, that I thought: It’s all coming together – I can’t wait until Ryan sees you!

The ceremony was held at the gorgeous St. Francis of Assisi, where Rana and Ryan said their ‘I do’s’ in a classic, timeless style in front of all their closest friends and family.

The new Mr & Mrs were pretty happy!! <3
Rana radiated her ‘just married’ glow in style with her handcrafted lace and tulle ballgown by Berta Bridal & dapper groom by her side!

 

Planning & Design for Rana and Ryan’s celebration was executed to perfection by Darby Fitzpatrick and her amazing at Open Invitation! The vision was classic meets lux-glamour – featuring neutral shades of white, cream and ivory with hints of blush, an abundance of candles, touches of gold and lavish floral arrangements by Miss Daisy Floral.

     

You guys are Marrrrrried!! Huge congrats! I hope you had an amazing time celebrating on your honeymoon in Thailand, Cambodia & Singapore! So happy for you two! 🙂
