Wedding Wednesday | Olga + Ryan’s Longwood Gardens Engagement Session

Oftentimes when we blog about our clients, we tell you about our experience of their love and life. But for Olga and Ryan, we are going to let you hear their own words. Why? Because these two have such a sweet relationship and perfectly communicate some serious relationship goals for the rest of us.

How They Met and When They Knew

After meeting at Wawa where Olga regularly and accidentally (or so she claims), got the same cashier as she checked out, their romance bloomed. Ryan thought she was adorably shy and had a great accent and language (Olga was born in the Ukraine). Olga thought Ryan was handsome and so sweetly outgoing.

When we asked them when they knew it was meant to be, they both agreed that it is hard to pinpoint. Their backgrounds are so wildly different, they truly weren’t sure they’d end up together until, one day, they were.

I Love You Because…

One of our favorite things is to ask what our couples love about their future spouse and Olga and Ryan’s answers were wonderful.

“I ( Ryan) love Olga because she is shy, neat, organized, and a good cook. She also has a big heart and will work hard to get things done. I know I am not long winded on this subject because it is an emotional topic and I am slow to respond when it comes to this kind of stuff. I love how honest she is, I love that [I can] tell if she is having a good or bad day within three seconds of a phone call. I love that she loves to help others even when it hurts in the long run. The Lord has blessed me with an amazingly smart, beautiful bride that I will continually learn to learn love and how to show my love to over the rest of our lives.

I (Olga) love Ryan because he has completely taken me out of my shell and changed my world for the better. I wouldn’t [have] experienced 80% of the things i have if it were not for him. He is the most selfless, kind hearted and passionate person I have ever met!! He always puts everyone before himself and is always there whenever anyone needs him!! He has pushed me beyond any limits I have set for myself and in doing so has given me a new lease on life!! I always say my favorite thing about him is, when we go to church on Sunday and the worship team is leading the songs, he literally sings like no one is listening, no shame and no reservation!! He is who he is and he makes no attempt to hide it! Ryan is a family man, which is huge for me!! He is incredibly close to both his parents and has a very special bond with his dad!! This says more about him to me than he will ever know!!! He is my best friend and the one person I have been blessed beyond measure to know in this life!! I love him, more than I will ever be able to express!!”

Their Longwood Gardens Engagement Session

Knowing how deeply these two care for one another, we were excited to capture their love at the beautiful grounds of Longwood Gardens. One of our favorite places to shoot because of it’s ever changing beauty, these two lit it up and we are so excited to share these images with you!
