Brittany and Ryan’s wedding at Bridle Creek Ranch near Sperry was simply adorable in so many ways. From the vintage decor that suited the log lodge perfectly to Ryan’s tears when he saw his beautiful bride for the first time, it was sweet way for a couple to begin their lives together. I can’t believe they are fast approaching their one-year anniversary!

Brittany made sure there were lots of great decorative details. Black and white photos strung down the wall showed how their lives began and then came together. Tabletops featured old books inscribed with love notes and charming bouquets from The French Bouquet’s Petite Fleur in antique bottles. The couple made their own photo booth with lots of funny handheld props.

The ceremony took place on a hillside just behind the lodge. Ryan’s happy tears and Brittany’s joyful smile made the pretty surroundings all the better. Bridle Creek Ranch offered a stunning background for the couple’s first stroll as newlyweds. The sunlight streaking across the Osage hills wrapped them in a glow as warm and happy as their shared embraces.

At the reception, guests enjoyed delicious eats by Michael’s Catering and cake from A Sweet Success. The delicate three-tiered white wedding cake faced some serious competition for attention, though, from the groom’s cake, a perfectly edible replica of the Millenium Falcon from Star Wars. DJ Jason Casey kept everyone on the dance floor until late into the night.

In a stolen moment, Brittany and Ryan shared a quiet dance alone outside, under the stars and a canopy of string lights. We were there to capture it. But they were so wrapped up in each other, I don’t think they noticed us much at all. Congratulations to this couple for their first year and all the years to come! _ Kelly

Becky and Jim’s kids were calling each other “brother” and “sister” even before the two united their families in a simply lovely ceremony at Five Oaks Lodge in Jenks. The lodge was the perfect spot for their intimate gathering of family and friends. Tables covered in green and black cloths and hurricane lamps were set for the reception at one end, while everyone gathered to see the couple exchange vows in front of the massive rustic fireplace at the other end.

Becky and Jim each have three children, and they all took part in the ceremony. After some photos of their newly combined family, Becky and Jim snuggled close for some pics of just the two of them. They needed no prodding _ all that happy gazing into each other’s eyes and sweet kissing came naturally. I’m not sure they wanted to leave that closeness to get back inside to the party!

The feast set by Five Oaks, however, was a great enticement. Young Evan made sure a chocolate fountain got plenty of use before dinner. The dinner buffet was delicious! Five Oaks’ catering always tastes as good as it looks. After dinner, the newlyweds sliced into a polka-dot, ribbon-wrapped cake from Ann’s Bakery.

The kids helped lead the dancing when the DJ from Oklahoma City’s M&M Productions started cranking out fast-moving tunes. Later, the couple’s girls danced with Jim and the boys took turns dancing with Becky. And that’s how I left them. Everyone dancing, everyone smiling. Congratulations Jim and Becky on your new life together! _ Kelly
