It seemed that the stars had aligned early on for Kari and Ryan. It was just a matter of time that they would wed. But like good wine and cheese, some relationships are best with time and needn’t any rushing. From having met in the fifth grade to becoming acquaintances in middle school, friends in high school…do i hear a “finally”?! 
And finally, a couple in college. The next step didn’t happen there, it took another 7 years for these two to realize that the person they should be with forever was right by their side all along. Through thick and thin, these two have gone through, proving to be each others’ best friend. Whatever life brings them, i know they have found more than just a spouse, or a lover, but a best friend. One thing i love about my job is i get to connect with my clients on a personal level. They naturally become more than just clients, they become friends. So speaking from a friend’s perspective, i hope that Kari and Ryan will not wait another 7 yrs to have little Ryans or Karis running around! 
I look forward to capturing and mostly sharing that next milestone in their lives.
Kari and Ryan wed at the Verandas in Manhattan Beach, CA.
