One of the hidden gems in our area is Ransom Canyon and Buffalo Springs Lake- it's just a few minutes outside of town, and it is such a welcome change of landscape- water, hills, TREES!

I was excited to shoot out there for Jared + Kara's wedding, especially knowing that their ceremony would be outdoors, overlooking the lake. The weather changed the plans, though- rain poured for several days before and even the morning of. Undaunted, the couple moved their ceremony inside, friends and family helped decorate, and it was no less perfect. We were still able to get some shooting done outside- the rain came shortly after we finished up! 

I have to thank Kara for being willing to tromp through the mud in her wedding dress (thank goodness she was already wearing boots) to get a few images in the swings. It's one of my favorite images, and also one of those times I was really thankful we didn't end up with a muddy wedding dress :). Worth it!
