Brittany and Ryan. Married.
A gift to the Bride’s Mother. “Mom, for drying your eyes as you’ve always dried mine. Today a bride, tomorrow a wife, always your little girl.”
The moment her bridesmaids saw her for the first time in her wedding gown…
Brittany. Wow. Truly stunning, you are.
An unbroken and never-ending circle symbolizes a commitment of love that is neverending. This is Brittany’s sister, Dawn, holding this circle holding their wedding rings. This very circle held Dawn’s rings on her wedding day. 
Brittany and Ryan did a “first look” before the ceremony on top of the Renaissance hotel. Many of my bride and groom’s are seeing each other before they walk down the aisle. I love this as we are able to get a TON more photos. It relieves so much stress AND you can capture some really cool first glances. Like this one here where all of their loved ones are watching them.
This is Britt and Ryan’s little boy. Check him out putting on Mommy’s shoes. When we got to the church, Brittany took off her dress and put on her robe. So smart! She was able to relax for a good half hour before putting back on her gown. I’m going to recommend this to EVERYONE!
Seriously!
I’d say that’s one happy groom.
Beautiful reception at St. Charles.
Little man was driving his car around the reception. Pretty genius bringing this for entertainment. The guests got a kick out of it too.
Oh, Ryan, epic fail!
Cutest selfie EVER.
Or is this on the cutest?
I just love this image soooooo much. This is the groom’s nephew. I just love his little profile. And he’s staring at that drink. Some day, buddy. 🙂
A little behind the scenes with Crystal Jo Foto…
I put Ryan’s glasses on my head and they got stuck in my hair. I wore them like this for the rest of their photos. Made for lots of laughs.
Mr. and Mrs. Hannigan, thank you so very much for trusting me with your wedding day photography. It was a true honor. I wish you all of the happiness in this big world of ours. XOXO, Crystal Jo
