Wedding du Jour: Ryan and Erika

I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about Ryan and Erika's wedding. The day of their engagement shoot, Ryan seemed especially uninterested in the photos -- odd because I'm usually pretty good at making just about anyone comfortable in front of the camera.

Turns out Ryan was fighting with kidney stones that very day, and only got more sick before the wedding. Luckily, he recovered in time for the ceremony and we all had a great time. Somewhat at his expense, of course, as there was no shortage of kidney stone jokes at the ceremony and reception. :)

Ryan has a reputation as a hard-working, perseverance sort of guy, qualities that are essential to any good marriage. Congrats, you guys, and may your marriage be blessed all the days of your lives.
