THE REGISTRY BISTRO WEDDING | KACIE AND RYAN

July 5, 2021

DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE REGISTRY BISTRO

It’s always special when we meet a couple and instantly feel like we’ve known them forever. That’s exactly what happened with Kacie + Ryan. These two are effortlessly cool, down-to-earth, and make everyone around them feel loved and accepted.

Their story is just as rare and serendipitous as they are: they first crossed paths on move-in day at their apartment building, just before the pandemic hit. Kacie calls it “pure and fragile happenstance,” since the odds of meeting during quarantine were incredibly slim.

From their Cincinnati engagement session to their wedding day, it was clear they were meant for each other. Their art gallery wedding ceremony at The Registry Bistro reflected their personalities perfectly, and their sweet handwritten vows brought everyone to tears. Being part of their day and witnessing their love was a true honor.

Thank you, Kacie + Ryan, for letting us capture your story. Your love, joy, and authenticity made this day unforgettable.

about us

we're shelley AND portugal

Before we were wedding photographers, we were just two kids in love. We met on Instagram and fell in love over FaceTime. A shared interest in roadkill portraiture is what brought us together (it’s a funny story), but what ultimately compelled us to take a chance on long-distance is the fact that we weren’t looking for surface-level. We craved a shared life full of connection, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes you. Now we bring that same energy to your wedding day to capture the real story, not a performance.
