Your wedding day is more than just a celebration; it’s a story worth remembering for a lifetime. As a wedding photographer, my passion is to capture every authentic moment, big and small, so you can relive your day exactly as it felt.

Danan and Katie’s wedding at the Springville Ranch, in my hometown of Springville, CA, was a beautiful example of how timeless and heartfelt wedding photography can be. Here’s what couples can expect from their wedding photos with Matlyn May Photography:

Getting Ready Moments

The wedding day started with joy and anticipation. Katie and her bridesmaids enjoyed girl time together, full of laughter and heartfelt excitement.

One of the most touching moments was her mother helping her into her gown, a memory both will carry forever.

Meanwhile, Danan and his groomsmen prepared with smiles, laughter, and a little nervous energy, perfectly capturing the spirit of the day.

First Look

Before the ceremony, Katie shared two unforgettable first looks; one with her bridesmaids, and one with her groom. Her bridesmaids’ reactions were filled with happy tears and pure excitement as they saw her as a bride for the very first time.

Then came the deeply emotional first look between Katie and Danan, a private moment where all the nerves melted away and they were reminded of why they were standing there together. These first looks set the tone for the rest of the day, giving the couple space to connect and savor the moment.

The Bridal Party

Bridal party portraits are where so much personality shines through. At the Springville Ranch, we captured Danan and Katie’s bridal party: bridesmaids, groomsmen, and flower girls, in three stunning locations:

In front of the barn, highlighting the rustic elegance of the venue.

On the lawn by the pond, where reflections and greenery made for a romantic backdrop.

And on the bridge, one of the most iconic spots at the Springville Ranch, symbolizing both beauty and strength. Each setting provided a unique backdrop, giving the couple a diverse and timeless collection of wedding photos.

Family Portraits

Wedding photography wouldn’t be complete without family. We made sure to capture the bride and groom with their parents, siblings, and relatives, portraits that will be treasured by generations to come.

These images always serve as a beautiful reminder of the love and support surrounding a couple on their big day.

The Ceremony

The bridal party stood proudly, the flower girls scattered petals, and family members smiled through happy tears.

The ceremony was filled with heartfelt emotion. Katie’s brother walked her down the aisle, a moment that brought tears to many eyes.

From heartfelt vows to the unforgettable first kiss, every moment was a perfect reflection of Danan and Katie’s love story.

Bride & Groom Golden Hour Photos

Golden hour portraits are always one of my favorite parts of the day.

Danan and Katie’s photos on the bridge were pure magic; the golden light, the still water, and the rustic charm of the venue combined to create timeless, romantic portraits that the couple will treasure forever.

The Reception

The celebration carried on into the night with all the joy you’d expect from a wedding at the Springville Ranch.

From Danan and Katie’s grand entrance and first dance, to heartfelt toasts by the best man and maid of honor, every moment was filled with love and laughter.

Guests enjoyed the garter and bouquet toss, cake cutting, and plenty of dancing before the couple made their unforgettable exit.

Wedding Details

The small details tell as much of the story as the big moments. I photographed the rings and keepsakes in a thoughtful flatlay, along with décor, florals, and personal touches that made the day uniquely theirs.

The rustic charm of the Springville Ranch wedding venue paired perfectly with carefully chosen cake, catering, and rentals, tying the whole day together beautifully.
