Mr. & Mrs. Ruiz's Wedding Story

May 24, 2025

So they are no longer two, but one in flesh.

Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate.

Matthew 19:6

What an amazing story that we get to tell with this couple and their amazing families!

This story starts all the way back in 2016 when we meet this amazing family at Alyssa's sister's wedding.

I am in aww of how long and amazing it has been. 

We fell in love with them from the very start.

From new beginnings, new babies, lots of laughter and even

praying for them behind the scenes,

this family has become what Harry and I call our Photography families!

So, when the call came in that Alyssa had found the man of her dreams,

Harry and I were ecstatic!

A few tears might or might not have fell from my face! 

This love story starts with one statement....

All God!

What an amazing way to start this absolutely beautiful day!

Ready....

Here comes the most beautiful wedding story Harry and I have been a part of!

May 24th started in the most beautiful town I have ever seen.

Goshen, Indiana was full of amish buggies and horses,

full of rolling hills and quiet streets,

what a beautiful ride in.

There was a soft breeze blowing through the trees with high 60's into the 70's. 

Their wedding was at Clinton Frame Church on a small backroad in the middle of amish farms.

This church has a story of its own being built in the 1800's

with many upgrades.

The girls were on one side of the church and the guys on the other side. 

The laughter of kids and family filled the church.

Absolute peace and excitement all in one place.

Perfectly perfect! 

The day was full of many special moments but we share our best work through our pictures.

So, enjoy a small preview of Alyssa and Cesar's wedding day!

Once in a life time God gives you a best friend that you get to spend the rest of your life with!
