Mandy and Tynan tied the knot this past weekend at Twisted Ranch in Oatmeal, TX. Their wedding theme was “The Hunt is Over” – since deer hunting is one of their favorite pastimes together. 
Mandy’s bouquet doily is a family heirloom, that served as her something old AND something blue. This piece has been used at other family weddings, as well! 
Mandy and Tynan decided to add a first look into their wedding day about 2 weeks before their big day! Mandy wanted to see Tynan’s true reaction to seeing her for the first time on their wedding day, as showing emotion with 100 pairs of eyes on you can be a little intimidating!
They’re officially married!!! YAY! After their wedding ceremony in the little white chapel of Twisted Ranch, we took bridal party photos. I am totally in love with their bridal party look! I would steal that bridesmaid outfit – cowboy boots and turquoise jewelry – in a heartbeat! It’s so cute! The guys were rocking the vest and jeans AND touch of coral, too! It doesn’t get much cuter than the baby’s breath floral crown and denim jackets for the flower-girls! 
Since we wrapped up bridal party and family photos with time to spare (love it when that happens!), we had plenty of time to roam the beautiful property of Twisted Ranch for some romantic portraits of the newlyweds!
I may have made these two get in a little work out on their wedding day! HA! The squats were totally worth it! :D
I love everything about Mandy’s bridal look! Lane boots AND Mikimoto Pearls went beautifully with her lace dress! Her hair and make-up were done by the fabulous wedding glam squad, Lustrebella!
We headed back into the candle and chandelier-lit fall wedding reception! I loved all the pops of color in the floral centerpieces! 
The two shared a first dance that overlaid their vows with the song! It was pretty sweet!
There’s just something about the father daughter dance that gets me every time!
At least two people could hardly wait any longer to try the desserts from Sweet Treets! The flowergirl tippy-toed all around to get a better look at the cupcake she was wanting. Tynan… well, he just took a little icing off his groom’s cake. He couldn’t resist anymore! 
This is what happens when there is green icing on the groom’s cake! It was a fun photo op! 
After the cake was cut, the party began! Everyone had a great time!
Mandy said she “had to have a little camo” on her wedding day, so her garter was camo colored with lace and had a deer charm on the front! 
Did you notice the fun hearts on the floor?!? Innovative DJ brought the lights to the party!
Spice Girls get the ladies on the dance floor EVERY time! 
The newlyweds exited their celebration through a tunnel of sparklers! 
Congratulations, Mandy and Tynan! Y’all had an absolutely beautiful wedding! Thank you for inviting Dylan and me to be a part of your special day and trusting us to document the first day of your happily every after! It was truly a night to remember!

[…] “I am very glad and happy with our decision to have a first–look. I am a fairly emotional person, and I knew on my wedding day I would be extra emotional. I didn’t want to “ugly cry” down the aisle and ruin my makeup. It worked well for us because it eased my nerves and I got to see my future hubby in private without a hundred pairs of eyes staring at us. I was worried it would be awkward being photographed during this time but it really was non-intrusive. My husband and I both were glad to hug and kiss ahead of time and share that special moment in a private setting. We were also able take some wedding party photos ahead of the ceremony. All in all, no regrets and I recommend a first–look.” – Mandy (Twisted Ranch Wedding) […]
