Have I mentioned that I am an Okie through and through? Well, I am and so I LOVE getting back to my roots and photographing Oklahoma weddings. This beautiful couple celebrated their wedding at the most perfect venue, Tatanka Ranch, and it was a stunning setting for a lovely celebration. In perfect Oklahoma style, the weather was C-razy and terribly unpredictable with high winds, lightning and rain forecasts that threatened to cause trouble. Miraculously though, it all held off until right after the ceremony and portraits when everyone got inside. Let’s just say, as the photographer, I was telling God thank you!
This incredibly sweet couple met in college just down the road from where they said I Do and it didn’t take long for them to realize that they were ready for a forever relationship. They met one night while out with friends, both just going about their business and happily single. She was talking with her friends when Heath approached their group, knowing someone in the circle. After a short period of time, he pulled her aside and said, ‘I never do this but I just don’t want this moment to pass me by.’ Then he promptly asked her for her number. She thought he was cute and funny and that she had nothing to lose so she happily exchanged it. They got together that next week and were inseparable every day until he graduated. Their parents quickly saw how much they loved each other and knew immediately that this was something special. So did Heath and Hannah. Just short of a year from their first meeting, he knelt to the ground and asked her for her hand. Of course, it was an easy answer for her!
Their wedding day was beautiful and such a sweet celebration of love and God’s goodness. They vowed forever, danced the night away and left joyful to be husband and wife. I am so privileged to have been able to capture their love story and look forward to watching it continue to unfold! Congrats, Heath and Hannah!
Enjoy some of my favs from their wedding!
Happy Monday!
