Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch Winter Wedding Photos

This wedding was held on 2/2/22 at Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch and I was a second shooter for another photographer on it. She has kindly allowed me to show the photographs I took on the day of the wedding and I wanted to share it because it was such a beautiful and unique wedding! My last wedding in 2021 was at the end of October and my first in 2022 is in the beginning of May, so I take “2nd shooter” gigs in the off season to experiment with new skills and keep my wedding photography chops up.

The outdoor ceremony was held when it was 8ºF, the bride walked up a slippery path to the altar and made Matthew burst into tears when he saw how stunning she looked. The little details like them jumping the broom in the snow, the charm of the Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch on the snowiest day this winter, the adorable kids, it was just a lovely wedding that I was happy to be a small part of. You will see that there are a lot more detail photos than normal, and that there are also a plethora of ring photos. This is how I entertain myself when there isn’t anything for me to photograph with the main wedding. Here are my favorite photos of the day…
