deedee & ryan

DeeDee and Ryan are a true love story. They found each other when they weren’t looking and have been in a beautiful partnership since then. DeeDee, a HMUA, built her own business from the ground up and has a passion for beauty, fashion, and serving others.With Ryan, who gently pursued her in his steadfast loyalty to her and God is her number one support and sense of calm in the chaos. They help to keep each other grounded and push one another to pursue their dreams. Such an incredible dynamic, they were bound to have a gorgeous, unique intimate wedding. Nothing felt like it was going to plan initially. Deedee’s custom dress was likely to be delivered late from Europe, their original venue didn’t pan out, and they wanted to keep it as intimate as possible, which felt nearly impossible. After diligent prayer and web surfing, they ran across Ella’s Driftwood Farm in Darien, Georgia. It was smooth sailing from there!

They were able to have their non-traditional coastal wedding with Southern charm and glamor that suited Deedee’s personality perfectly! The barn was dressed with crystal chandeliers and elaborate floral arrangements and black and gold decor. The ceremony space was gorgeous by itself, but once the florists added the roses and baby’s breath altar? Breathtaking! Her dress was a custom design with different textures, sparkle, detachable sleeves, and detachable train that absolutely stole the show. The bridal party in all black was the perfect juxtaposition to the rural setting. But what was most impossible to keep your gaze off of was the gentle love that Deedee and Ryan have for each other.

I am still drooling about this day.
