Amy and Ryan are two peas in a pod. He is high ranking in the Army while she has had to live with the fact that he gets shipped overseas on a moment's notice. In fact, he has been called once again to Afganistan a little under one month from their wedding day. So, their wedding day, this past Saturday March 26th 2011, was even more touching than usual.

They were surrounded by friends and family, lots of whimsical fairytale details and high emotions. The Crown Ballroom made their day perfect with all of its decor and elegance. Geranium Lake Flowers did a beautiful job with Amy's bouquet. Amy's elf ears and fairy wings added a spark of "her" to the whole day. All in all, there were tears of joy, great dancing and singing, and lots of love. It was obvious to us that their day was going to be special from the moment we had the opportunity to spend hours chit chatting and photographing them during their engagement session (see the Black Hawk helicopter and the Mima Mounds here), but once the wedding day came and went, we realize how truly beautiful the two of them are.

Have fun on your cruise in the Mediterranean guys!! We're totally envious!! ;)

A "his" and "her" 2-part engagement session. Black Hawk helicopter in one and beautiful natural preserve for the other.

Welcome to another MoscaPhoto-style, extreme, engagement session sneak peek. ;)

We LOVE our job. Its not a job at all, actually. It's a passion that we happen to do for a living. We get to meet incredible people with amazing stories. Amy and Ryan are two such people. We are HONORED to have had the clearance and opportunity to visit Ft Lewis Army Base near Olympia Washington. The hangar and the Black Hawk made available to us for part 1 of the photo shoot, was amazing to see and "play" in and around. WOW.

Part 2 was more of the "her" part of things ;) Amy is a lover of whimsical places, fables and fantasy. As is Ryan, of course! But this part 2 was ALL Amy! The location was a natural preserve south east of Olympia WAshington called Mima Mounds. It is an incredible place, with unique geological features and the most perfect light for photography. What a cool place! One Josh and I would have never gone to see if it weren't for Amy's suggestion! Amy says that this place is so far from centers of light pollution, that any astronomical event is super bright and clear when viewed from here. Next major eclipse or meteor shower... you know where we'll be!! :)

Thank you Amy & Ryan for making Saturday a fun and unique and absolutely unforgettable day! We will cherish these experiences and these memories for ever!

Any & Ryan will marry this coming March 26th 2011
The venue is the Crown Ballroom in Portland OR

Here are a handful of the images taken... more to come! :)
