Oh boy, I think that my maid needs to be fired after seeing all of the dust collecting around here! As you can probably guess, the wedding season and traveling combined have kind of kicked my butt. I’ve still been pretty good about getting images up on the Anna Lynch McClary Photography Facebook Page though. The ironic part is that I’m poking my head in here just to let everyone know that I’m jumping on another airplane tomorrow and will be out of reach for a few days. The next couple of weeks I get to travel to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Colorado, and even make a stop in Nebraska for weddings and senior sessions. I’m going to miss my bed and my kitties, but it should be a good time filled with lots of great photo opps.

Oh, and when I return, I vow to be a better blogger. To show my seriousness, here is one image from each of the sessions that I shared on Facebook today.

You know those couples that just make sense? They make so much sense that its hard to have a conversation about one one of them without referring to them as a couple. Mike and Rebecca are that couple to an absolute T for for me. I could have talked to Becca that day and told Mitch that, and he’d ask me who Becca was. It was always followed by, “You know, Mike and Becca.” He of course knew who she was, but together they just made sense. Individually they are their own fantastic people, but together they are two seamless puzzle pieces that compliment and finish each other.

Mike and Rebecca had to roll with the punches on this whole wedding planning thing. When they originally booked me, the plan was a fall wedding in the canyons of South Dakota. However, what is meant to be always works itself out, and the South Dakota wedding just wasn’t meant to be. So, a couple months before the wedding they relocated everything to Colorado, more specifically Lionsgate at The Dove House. They totally rolled with the punches and the end result was a beautiful and incredibly personal wedding that was packed with emotion (my favorite).

You may have noticed that Becca is kind of drop dead gorgeous!

Oh yeah, Mike’s pretty easy on the eyes too. Ridiculously good looking and meant to be couple, sounds like one of the Disney movies I grew up on.

Congratulations again Mike and Rebecca, couldn’t be happier for you two!

Going into my first ever destination wedding, as a guest and a photographer, I had some pretty high expectations. I mean when a place is called Dreams, who wouldn’t? Personally, I can say that it was pretty fantastic and held up to all of those expectations. Professionally, I couldn’t say anything less.

In my opinion Bobbie and Ryder had one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve seen. They knew what they wanted and went with that. Their wedding day was enjoyed 100% and never once filled with worries about their officiant, the flowers, or any of the other details that I’ve seen so many get tied down with. When I started shooting that day Bobbie was so relaxed as she sat in the stylist’s chair. She was fresh out of the spa from a massage and didn’t have a thing to worry about, which I think is what most brides hope for at the point in their wedding planning. Meanwhile, upstairs in the the groom’s suite, the guys were joking around, laughing, and throwing back a couple Coors Lights (what else would you expect from Colorado boys?).

The relaxed theme had begun much earlier in the trip and carried through all the way through the ceremony, right to the end of the trip. I have to say, I don’t think I’ve ever gone back home from shooting a wedding 100% more relaxed than when I left. I guess the massages and beach might have helped.

The entire week we spent down there was a testament to the support that Ryder and Bobbie have surrounding them.

When in Rome, right?!

The resort photographers had dibs on Bobbie and Ryder following the ceremony, so we met up a couple mornings later to do a Day After Session.

Congratulations again Ryder and Bobbie!
