Kelly & Ryan's Wedding | December 30th, 2017

Old Hickory Golf Club | Woodbridge, VA

I love a holiday wedding, and thanks to Kelly & Ryan, I was recently introduced to New Years Eve Eve. It is my new favorite night for a holiday wedding! Everyone loves to make their own New Years plans, so why not kick the celebration off a day early with a December 30th wedding?!

That is exactly what these sweethearts did, and boy oh boy, what a fun party!

On the wedding day, Ryan looks so handsome in his Navy uniform. Kelly is stunning and her long veil makes quite an impression coming down the aisle during their Catholic Mass. I love seeing the glances these two share during the ceremony. They are so happy to be together, with Ryan having been away in training, and clearly soaking up every moment.  

After bundling up for some romantic photos in the snow, we head to Old Hickory Golf Club to get the celebration underway. I love seeing the Samoan traditional dancing from Ryan's family! The dance floor is packed with great tunes from DJ Derek, and our bride and groom are smiling ear to ear. 

Late night reinforcements arrive, in the form of pizza and champagne! Everyone gets their second wind for the balloon drop and more dancing, before sending off Kelly & Ryan in a sea of bubbles.  

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Kruse!!!
