John and Randee’s #FinallyFerguson Klondyke AZ Wedding was full of family, friends, sweet details, gorgeous weather, and fun! Everyone came together at the Canyon View Ranch to celebrate the day and this sweet couple. Everything felt relaxed, natural, and full of celebration!
Anyone else love the depth that boots add to a flat lay?! Stasha, the amazing wedding planner, brought the miniature hide for me to use for their flat lay shots and I love how it really tied the theme together!
Randee asked for a shot of the dresses hanging on the wedding arch, so of course we made this happen! Huge thank you to my second shooter, Mikaela, for climbing the ladder, and to Nick for helping us catch any dresses that slipped off the hangers while they were going up!
Randee had a heart from her Grandpa’s shirt sewn onto the bottom of her dress, and it was the sweetest touch!
All the girls got ready together in the bridal suite room upstairs. They were all so relaxed and supportive of each other and Randee! The vibe was awesome!
Randee and John knew they wanted to wait to see each other at the ceremony, but Randee decided to have a fun “First Look” with the groomsmen. They thought they were getting the first peek of her in her dress and all ready, but Randee had other plans!
Aren’t Johnnie and Colt the cutest?! Such sweet boys!
Once Randee was ready, she headed downstairs for a First Look with her dad. They were both working to keep emotions from spilling out their eyes, and it was so sweet!
Even though they didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, Randee and John knew they wanted to exchange gifts. Their reactions were so fun! Randee immediately asked for hers to go to the head table to be used as decor for the reception.
This Sip and Be Seated station was a HUGE hit with the guests!
Colt stuck close the entire time. I loved seeing him watching them and peeking around Dad’s legs to see what was going on.
The Ferguson Family! Poor little Tylee was NOT having it at all. She was done from the beginning of the day and she just wanted Mom, out of the dress, to get some food, and for people to just let her be. I was glad we were able to snap this quick shot of the whole family between tears!
The Canyon View Ranch is a beautiful spot on it’s own, but then with Stasha’s decor and special touches added in, it was PERFECT!
I’m not going to lie…I LOVE ranch wedding dinners. So SO yummy!
This hand holding fist bump is one of my all time grand entrance favorites!
Wondering what the girls are reacting to in the picture below? John was choked up while thanking his Mom and it was heartfelt and touching. It was a sweet moment!
It got to this point and you just knew shenanigans were about to go down.
To get photos with as many guests as possible, they decided to do a photo dash line! I love these! The Bride and Groom sit on chairs or stools and then guests run in for a quick quick photo and run out. The energy is fun and way beats the shuffle of trying to get table photos!
Randee and John, it has been such a sweet season celebrating with you! Thank you for inviting me into this chapter of your story. Your kids are adorable, your love and connection with each other is evident just being around you two, and your wedding was beautiful! John, thanks for putting up with all the photos, you are a rock star!
