When I arrived at Tin Poppy Retreaty, the affair had already begun.

This is a story about Ryan and Shannon. A couple who met right around covid, and amongst moves and around university studies, ended up here.

Ryan stood alone upon the north-facing platform, a sturdy figure cut against the vast sky, gazing down over the valley where the town of Enderby lay scattered like old stones. The wind moved through the pines with a low, steady voice. There he waited, shoulders tense, a man braced for battle.

Then came the soft crunch of footsteps. Shannon approached from behind and touched his shoulder.

He turned.

What a look passed over that man’s face! All the heavy anxiety of the morning shattered in a single instant. His eyes widened, raw and unguarded, as though he had been struck by lightning and found it beautiful. Before him stood Shannon in her white lace dress with its grand, sweeping sleeves. A short, nervous laugh broke from his throat, the sound of a man who suddenly remembers how to breathe.

There, with no one else near, they read their vows to one another. Ryan spoke first, his voice low and steady at the beginning, yet it cracked with honest feeling. Shannon’s eyes filled at once; by the second sentence the tears were already running freely down her cheeks. They finished, looked at each other for a long moment, and then a hug.

Later came the great ceremony upon the hillside, by the trees. The guests stood restless with joy, faces bright under the open sky. When the final words were spoken and husband and wife kissed, a passionate kiss that carried the weight of all their days ahead, the air exploded with thrown confetti. Ryan pulled Shannon close once more and kissed her again, deeper, as if the world itself could wait.

Afterward we wandered the hills and meadows like wanderers in an old tale. The light was kind to them. The land itself seemed to approve.

It was a good day. A true day.

This one did. 🤍

On a sunny Saturday morning, Austin & Terann started this wedding day at a charming old Airbnb tucked deep in the forest. We started with some beautiful detail photos and those custom cufflinks, but nothing could prepare us for their emotional first look out in the woods.

When Terann approached and Austin turned around… the look on his face said everything. They held hands, shared the raw and beautiful vows they’d written in their books, and happy tears flowed freely. It was such a way to begin this beautiful day.

Before long, though, the bridal party soon joined the fun — the guys sharp in tuxes, the girls glowing in colorful dresses — and we all headed to Mabel Lake Farms for the ceremony.

Under the shade of the most massive, majestic old tree, Austin and Terann said their vows surrounded by loved ones. The kiss was passionate, the cheers were loud, and the joy was overflowing.

After delicious food, lemonade, and endless hugs, we snuck away before sunset for photos in the blueberry fields. The soft haze made everything look straight out of a dream.

The night ended with a sparkler arch, bubbles floating everywhere, big group cheers, and then dancing and celebrating well into the night.

Austin & Terann, your day was pure magic. So honored to capture it all. ❤️

This is a sneak peek. I hope you love it. If you’d like to see more, sign up at https://galleries.drahtphotography.com/client/terann-and-austin-are-married/register
