A Country Wedding at the Ritchie Barn

Oh my goodness…I was in heaven at this beautiful venue.  Nicole and Bryan were married October 17th at the Ritchie Barn in Visalia, California.  This was my first time shooting a wedding at this venue and it was just magical.  If you are ever in doubt that cowboys still exist, visit the central valley of California.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many cowboy hats at one wedding!  Everywhere I looked, there were pumpkins and gourds…it was beautiful!  Bryan is a firefighter and so the wedding party made their entrance on a fire truck–Nicole made her entrance in a vintage red truck.  The guests dined outside under the clear October skies while the authentic country band warmed up inside the barn.  Nicole is a high school Ag teacher so the venue could not have been more perfect.  Beyond the aesthetics of this wedding was a wedding party that really knew how to have some fun.    The wedding party danced their way down the aisle after the ceremony and also had a little bling, bling performance when they entered the reception.  It was such a terrific, fun wedding.  Congratulations Bryan and Nicole!
