CHEYENNE WY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS | LynLee & Ryan – Little America

With Rick and I being Cheyenne WY wedding photographers we were THRILLED when LynLee and Ryan were referred to us from another client. Getting to know these two it is absolutely impossible to miss how head over heels hey are for one another. They planned the most timeless, classic and lovely wedding. From the sophisticated soft muted color scheme to the luxurious wedding attire, their wedding was definitely one of our FAVORITES of our season.

These two said I DO at the always amazing St Mary’s Cathedral in Cheyenne. Their bridal formals were in a lush green garden location and they followed that up with an intimate wedding reception at Little America. Surrounded by friends and family it was absolutely a day to remember!

We are so excited to share images from their perfect day!

Loved the vintage cuff links that Ryan wore for their wedding.

One of the things we love most about weddings are the different story lines that make up the big day. We always place a special emphasis on telling the story of BOTH the bride & groom.

Ryan had a really great group of guys. Capturing the getting ready process is important but more so we love capturing the camaraderie.

As Cheyenne WY wedding photographers we were completely SPOILED by all of LynLee’s beautiful details. Her dress was oh my wow and all of her jewelry was just stunning.

I am a lay flat girl at heart. I love being able to show all the important items visually in one photo. LynLee & Ryan got not only one but TWO lay flats as they had so many thoughtful items.

LynLee’s makeup was so so pretty. It felt like her but a bit more dramatic. She was an absolutely stunning bride.

There is just something about putting your veil on that makes it all the more real that it is finally your wedding day!

St Marys Cathedral wedding

Aren’t these two the most adorable flower girl and ring bearer ever? Ok so we might be a bit biased since we also get to capture family photos for their family.

St Marys Cathedral wedding

As Cheyenne WY wedding photographers we photograph at St Mary’s Cathedral a few times a season. The moment where the big doors opened and LynLee came down he aisle escorted by her parents had us all holding our breath.

Love the honest, real life, forever emotion in this photo of Ryan. Every bride wants her groom to feel this way, loved that he was confident enough to show him emotion.

Letting the bride and groom just BE after the ceremony always leads to amazing photos. After all the hustle and bustle of the first half of the day they want nothing more than to have a few moments as husband and wife.

These were actually taken in a popular park in Cheyenne. We wandered around the gardens and tried to really use the gorgeous greenery for their portraits.

What a sweet moment between these two.

Fun fact, LynLee’s wedding dress had two looks. During the ceremony she word a lace overlay with a high collar and long sleeves. For her bridal formals she removed the lace and showed off the gorgeous strapless gown for look number two.

Ryan and LynLee wanted to have a few portraits taken inside the chapel where the exchanged vows.

Ryan was a super fun groom. A little wildcard, a little blue steel he absolutely made their wedding portraits more fun and real life.

Again photographed here just lost in each other and the love they share.

Cheyenne WY wedding photographers

As Cheyenne WY wedding photographers we’ve seen a new trend in wedding first dances. Many couples start a song, dance for an extremely short amount of time then end the song early. I have to say we aren’t big fans of that! What a beautiful once in a lifetime thing to be held and whisked around the dance floor soaking in he sweetness of every minute of your song. These two did just that and made it look so good!

Jake absolutely killed it with his speech.
