amy & ryan - september 16, 2006

amy & ryan were married at colonial church in edina, mn on a gorgeous (and slightly windy) late summer day. people came from great distances to share in their special day, most notably amy's dad, kevin, and her childhood friend, peta who came over from england. their day was filled with so many great moments, it was hard to narrow it to a few images.

here's amy waiting for ryan before they see each other for the first time:

for a wedding day gift, amy got ryan plane tickets to boston and tickets to a game at fenway park. by his reaction, it was obviously a hit with him:

amy was so fun and laid back. plus she looked amazing:

amy's dad's speech was definitely a hit. it had heartfelt emotion with a little dry wit thrown in for good measure:

congratulations, amy & ryan. it was clear to see how happy you make each other. thank you for a great day, and have a wonderful time in london and nassau!
