I met Ryleigh a few years ago when I drove out to her family’s property in Turkey, Texas to photograph their family photos in the red dirt canyons of the Texas panhandle.

The first thing we talked about was the enneagram. I could just tell that she was a 7 (7w6 if I remember correctly!) and just thought she was such a beautiful, bright light kind of person.

I was so excited when her mom and Hotel Turkey owner, Tina, contacted me about photographing her wedding at the Kitalou Gin in Idalou this May.

The details were perfect, the day went on without a hiccup, Ryleigh was absolutely stunning in her simple wedding gown and I teared up during their vows and prayer!

It felt like the entire town of Turkey and surrounding area attended and I loved seeing so many people together celebrating with West Texas style!

Congratulations Jake and Ryleigh!!
